    First Capital Connect Open Returns

    Well actually - there are tickets from London Terminals (1072) to Bedford Stations (0410), including the aforementioned Period Off Peak return but not in the other direction. These do not appear from 1072 to Bedford (1512) which only gives a few Advance fares routed EMIDTRAINS ONLY. In this...

    First Capital Connect Open Returns

    Yes - that's helpful isn't it? I'm of the opinion that a ticket from the FCC website from London St Pancras to Bedford will be printed from/to London Thameslink. I think that will be fine. You are right that London Thameslink doesn't appear as a destination on the FCC website but if you if...

    First Capital Connect Open Returns

    Just buy a ticket from London Thameslink to Bedford. The Off Peak Return is valid for break of journey so you are fine just using it from/to West Hampstead.

    First Capital Connect Open Returns

    Yes because that is a different origin. There is not a period return from West Hampstead and there wasn't last year.

    First Capital Connect Open Returns

    I think you mean an Off Peak Return (valid for one month). There wasn't an Anytime Time before and there isn't one now. If so they still exist - new price is £20.60 with a rail card. From Bedford to London Thameslink.

    Harlow - A much better post

    I don't know how much a return from Watford Junction to Harlow is on the Greenline 724 but an Interlink Explorer is £8.50 for the day and valid on the 724 between Maple Cross and Harlow. So you won't have to pay more than that. However if the OP needs to be in Harlow before 0900 the 724 is not...

    zero fare excess

    Can you excess more than once? Say I have a ticket to Birmingham Stations. I excess to University (my origin is far enough away that it's a zero excess) but then later decide I actually want to go to Selly Oak. Can I zero excess again?

    Harrow & Wealdstone to Bedford via Bletchley

    Do you mind explaining why? Bedford - London is allowed by maps LB, MM and LM. LM shows the Euston - Bletchley - Bedford route. MM shows the direct St Pancras - Bedford route. LB is like MM for Bedford but includes the Thameslink stations (including Kings Cross Thameslink!) Unless the...

    Triangular Route Waterbeach-Exeter-Bracknell-Waterbeach

    Welcome to the forum. With Bracknell to London, London to Waterbeach bit you would need to get from London Waterloo to Kings Cross. An Off Peak Day Single Bracknell to Waterbeach is £23.65 and would include cross london transfer between Waterloo and Kings X. This would be cheaper if you would...

    Do you actually have to make the entire journey in full?

    I don't believe that's true - a Super Off Peak return St Albans Abbey - Birmingham has validity code http://nationalrail.co.uk/pdfs/OPR_LK.pdf which appears to not allow BoJ at all. Indeed the NR conditions for Off Peak tickets general merely state

    Breaking a journey at Old Street

    I sometimes buy an Anytime Single from Stevenage to St Albans routed +Any Permitted (and so valid via LONDON) and wish to break my journey at Old Street. As far as I an concerned I am on a valid route (Stevenage to London is mapped on EE and includes the route to Moorgate) and an Anytime single...

    FCC Carnet tickets overnight on thameslink

    The issue is if you write the 'correct' (ie that day) you may be PF'd for traveling before the first valid train for a off peak day ticket.

    FCC Carnet tickets overnight on thameslink

    If I use an FCC carnet ticket overnight, say the 0132 from St Pancras to St Albans, what date should I put on it? And and what time must the date change? This is particularly a question of the off peak carnet's restriction TN - no travel from St Pancras northbound until after 0900 M-F. So...

    Oops wrong train

    I thought that EC were not part of the penalty fare scheme. I'm not sure how you check this however. So you may have to buy a Anytime Single from Stevenage to Peterborough.
