Excellent - but won't the trains actually need to stop at Shifnal?

Hi guys, This might be a challenge - Ruabon to Cheltenham seems a whopping £55 return. Could someone advice me splitting or getting it cheaper somehow? I could also go to Chester, Shrewsbury, Gobowen or Crewe if it's really going to save a lot. I'd generally want to go and come back...

I'm trying to find it as well, haven't managed - I should also stress, that generally there will be an overnight stay, so one day Rail rangers etc, won't really work for me.

Now we're talking. Thanks guys, this is why I love this forum! Please do keep the suggestions coming!

That's a great point. Thanks. I should also point out I don't really want them to have to change more than once. Max twice at a push! So i suspect that method is a three changer!

Guys, I am trying to work out the cheapest way for friends to come and visit me in Ruabon, North Wales from London. I'm quoting return fares, in advance cases assuming they get really lucky and get two of the cheapest possible singles. I am willing to drive, say 45 mins max to go and pick...

Hello chaps, Just wondered if they did? Fancy a spin on one of their services tonight coming back from northampton to ruabon. Will buy an extention ticket from Ruabon to Gobowen. Best wishes

Guys. Travelling between Crewe and Northampton tomorrow. Cheapest is obviously LM's £13 day return supper off peak thing. But am I right in thinking I could avoid the £51 fare with Virgin and just get a West Midlands Day Ranger for £16 and then be able to travel on whatever route I liked...

Hi guys, Any idea why there were a fair few train spotters (well, maybe six!) in Northampton at 6:30 ish yesterday evening? There was a special announcement about a train that had left Bletchley and a couple of LM staff looked like they were getting ready to see something. Just wondered!

Thanks guys - did a range of things, and the Rover helped in many situations where, say, there was only one train an hour, as I could simply hop on a bus and get to my next destination, so it more than paid for itself. One service (17:39 from Rhyl) cancelled for some reason, which was a bit...

Hi, Was planning to take a trip around the North Wales coast tomorrow. Maybe going from Wrexham or Ruabon and stopping off at places like Colwyn Bay and Flint etc. If I buy a ticket to, say, Bangor, can I break the journey in loads of different places as long as I only go along the route...

Hello, This question might be a simple one. If you buy a ticket (say a standard off peak return) from the edge of the Zone's 1-2 or 1-6 boundary upto Luton Airport Parkway from London, and you travel on a FCC train, are you allowed to use the ticket on East Midlands Trains on the way...

Basically you have a couple of tourist information places, a few ferries/boat cruises, some fishing industry and a couple of supermarkets and a bank. The guys are absolutely right - you must get some fish and chips from the chippy there. They won some sort of award about ten years ago! The...

Hi Clag - I apologise - I should have stressed that I wanted to get the Virgin train to Brum, as it's way faster. Happy to get a LM train after that. If I bought a £23 standard return using any TOC, would that still allow me to travel short? Thanks, James

Guys, Any help on this one would be much appreciated. Need to go from Milton Keynes to the Bescott Stadium tomorrow afternoon, but on the way back I intend to get the train at Walsall station, as I get an extra half hour with my family and still get back in MK at the same time (arr MK -...

Hi guys, I had a trip on the sleeper recently and enjoyed it - despite problems sleeping because of all the rattling. Thought I might ask some questions, purely out of interest, and see if anyone knew the answers. - I was on the Sunday night one (8th) - London to Inverness. I was very...

Hi guys, Always enjoy reading the answers to these questions, would love to get your help on this one! I basically need to do London to Coventry return, but starting half way in either Berkhamsted, Tring or Milton Keynes. I'm parking my car, so need to end up back at the original place...

Steve, Oxford Circus is nothing special. Most tubes run about once every 4-6 minutes, so don't worry about frequency. You would be wise to check the tfl website a couple of days beforehand and check which lines are affected by weekend engineering works. I take your point about tubes...

Really enjoying the debate - it's such a shame there isn't a clear answer to the question. I'm sure one day it's going to happen to me, even though I have a twenty minute connection time in Birmingham. I have to say, in my view, having read the debate, the 2nd TOC (in this case CC) should not...

Guys, I sometimes travel between Milton Keynes Central and Gloucester. Generally MKC - BHM BHM - GCR. I use Virgin for the first leg, CC for the second. The cheapest way by far, is to buy in advance, and get a Virgin advance, and a CC advance, rather than buying a simple off peak return...
