My partner and I booked two Economy return tickets from Zone B (any station in Cumbria) to Douglas, using the Sailrail deal and taking the ferry from Heysham. The fares for this are normally £115 for an Economy return from Zone B.
She booked the tickets on the Transport for Wales site, and put...
I attempted to transfer my Veterans railcard to another phone, a temporary measure as my main phone is being repaired, and tried to login into my Railcard account to retrieve a download code for my spare phone.
I attempted to login to my account,no password seemed to work and when I tried to...
I travelled on 11 June from Rheine to Amsterdam Centraal (journey started from Soest), where the IC 148 train was delayed for over an hour, when it should have arrived at 1400. I believe I should be entitled to compensation of €12.
I have been asked for proof of this delay, which I did not...
Only my third post about this Sailrail trip!
I made a delay repay claim to Avanti, departing from Dublin Ferryport at 0805 using Irish Ferries to arrive into Ulverston at 1645 on 30 April, but arrived at 1743 as I had to take an alternate route due to Avanti cancellations, meaning I was delayed...
I have booked a SailRail from Ulvedrston to Dublin starting on April 24 (I psoted about the return leg a couple of weeks ago), but I booked the Advance to save a few pounds but I am reserved on a journey starting at 0709 with a 54 minute connection at Manchester Oxford Road, arriving ar 1232 to...
I am looking to travel from Dublin to Ulverston on Sunday, April 28. However while the thetrainline gives me a itinerary for a 1350 high-speed ferry sailing to arrive into Ulverston at 2301, that sailing does not start until May. The slow ferry at 1430 (as listed on the Irish ferries website)...
Avanti being themselves have rejected my delay repay claim for travel on July 23, and only informed me of this recently. The travel was:
1055 Workington
1144 Carlisle
1152 Carlisle
1308 Glasgow Central
For travel on Sat 23 July
This was delayed by over an hour as the 1152 service was...
I decided to go o a trip to the Isle of Man, using the rail service that is supposed to connect with it. Outbound there was little issue, although I had a 1h42 wait in Lancaster as there was no later train from Ulverston to connect to it, but the train to Heysham went smoothly.
On my return...
I am planning to travel from Ulverston to Huddersfield using a return Northern pass I received, and the likely journey would be taking a direct Northern train to Manchester Oxford Road and changing. I would have to pay for Manchester to Huddersfield as that route is TPE only.
On the outward...
I decided to travel on was supposed to be the last usable day of my 26-30 railcard last week, and I was unable to renew it because of my age. However when I pulled open the app it said it had expired. I raised this with the train guards before I boarded the train and they did not have an issue...
I have an Advance First ticket from Euston to Lancaster which is valid for tomorrow, in which I want to have the date pushed back to July 10. My dad had it for a business trip in March, but actually left earlier due to the pandemic. The original travel date was for March 20, but got the date...

Wonder why [West Midlands Trains] don't do Manchester as well, or do the franchise terms forbid it? Although it is possible to go to Crewe and change there.
I am doing a trip to Canada next year, in BC then going over to Toronto and Montreal, and wondered what actually is the greenest way to travel cross country in Canada (and probably the US). The flygskam movement portrays flying as an absolute bad, and in most of Europe rail is greener than...
I keep hearing an advert on the radio referencing the 13:04 LNER train, Coach C. It supposedly goes to Edinburgh, Leeds, Newcastle via the Forth Bridge and London. Does such a service exist? Geographically speaking it would have to start somewhere north of Edinburgh, but it wouldn't go to London...
I made a journey from Colchester to Chester on Thursday 25 July, though the off-peak return ticket I bought was to Bangor and was intending to alight at Flint due to a change of plan, where I was going to be collected by my dad. Due to the severe disruption that day the 19:10 Virgin service to...
I was making a return journey from Colchester to London Liverpool Street, both on Advance tickets which were purchased through Traingenius. However when picking up the tickets only the outward ticket printed, and even the collection receipt acknowledges that there was 1 coupon to the value of...
I was doing an all day travel inbound from Bratislava to London on August 27 (final destination Colchester), where I had to catch the Eurostar at 18:57 from Brussels to London. The 14:29 Deutsche Bahn service from Frankfurt to Brussels I had booked with my pass was cancelled, and after going to...
I have been having a little issue with LNER not paying out fully for a delay repay claim using split tickets. The correspondence is as follows:
The reply stated that I would only get paid for the ticketed part of the journey, from Doncaster to Colchester. So I wrote back as follows:
I wish...
I am going to Normandy in May for a few days, and for the return I am planning to take the ferry on Monday 14th May as a foot passenger. With the ferry leaving Cherbourg at 17:00 French time and arriving at 19:00 UK time, how much time do I need to leave between the ferry's arrival and my...
As not all train ticket vendors have updated their railcards to include 26-30, such as Expedia, would it be acceptable to select a 16-25 railcard in the drop down for buying tickets, or would I need to buy from a vendor that does have the 26-30 option? I normally use Expedia for the favourable...
