I travel not infrequently from Edinburgh to London for work. Aside from now travelling from "Haymarket" instead is there also a way to ensure as little money as possible flows LNER's way? I used to buy all my tickets on their site as I liked the seat selection facility. If I instead bought on...

That explains it, as I say, it's second hand info as I was already on board, just what I overheard from different conversations. As it happens I am on my way back from Cologne, where they are so confident at Cologne Hauptbahnhof about which platform will be used that there are paper posters on...

I'm currently on the 1630 KGX-EDB. The next two are cancelled, as was one of the previous services (the 1500 to Stirling) and also cancelled was the 1530 Euston to Glasgow, (which was my own back up plan), because of problems on the west coast line. Consequently, it's heaving. I don't think...

I tried it earlier this year at Westminster (from Kings Cross, heading towards Waterloo, lovely weather and I fancied a walk over, and perhaps a pint by, the river, and got sent back from the underground gateline! "Can't break your journey, you need to exit at Waterloo". Held an open single...

Because I assumed that taxis were only provided when there were no further trains running that day, I assumed that I'd be expected to wait for the next train from Glasgow to Oban. The guard made no annoucements at all about what to do for connections. When I realised I would not be able to...

The NRE site will happily pass you to LNER, who will happily sell a Leeds-Oban Anytime single with a route via Preston so i think this route is OK? It did, I was on it! In fact as i was sitting in First I heard the guard arrange onward taxi for two other passengers who were connecting at...

This is what we will do. For folks like me who do not live in the M25 hinterland I think it gets a bit confusing when one can buy tickets or use contactless, particularly as contactless is the de facto way to pay in London.

On Thursday 21st September I attempted to take the following itinerary from Leeds to Oban: 0658 Northern service from Leeds to Preston (arr 0843) 0858 TPE service from Preston to Glasgow Central (arr 1131) 1222 ScotRail service from Glasgow Queen Street to Oban (arr 1528) I had three separate...

We're meeting at St Pancras and then heading to an as-yet undecided area of London for a few nights. Lack of faff is more important than price all other things being equal. I do forget though that there are quite good coach connections from London airports into the centre.

St Pancras (one of us coming off the Eurostar at a similar time) 1695214220 Excellent thank you.

Thanks - I'd not seen that and in the booking section the text suggests that the Advance is not refundable.

I'm sorry if this is repeating a previous thread. I searched and mostly turned up threads connected with DART or using various discount cards. I simply wish to find out the easiest and cheapest way to travel from Luton Airport to St Pancras. One way, one adult, no rail card. The flight...

An update: I sent an email to CS customer service (CS CS I suppose) and received this response: I can confirm after clarifying with my team leader that the pass must be valid on the day of arrival, Saturday 7th October I then asked for my particular intended days of travel which day do I...

This is I think the best way of booking, but... I've written to CS customer service asking for clarification. I'm really surprised that it's not explicitly stated on the website, to the extent of giving a worked example, as I cannot be the only person to have the same query.

Thanks! I would definetely reserve a room and have been investigating options. The sleeper website (https://www.sleeper.scot/tickets/seats/) under the "Room Supplements" tab says: Interrail and Euro Rail need to be valid the date you join the train. BUT - click on the "Seats" tab and it...

Hello everyone I'm planning a trip to Germany using an Interrail pass. Ideally I would leave (Scotland) on 7th or 8th October, picking up a Eurostar via either Paris or Brussels and end the day in Karlsruhe. However, there is a large spanner and that is ECML engineering work between Scotland...

I wish to travel from Leeds to Oban on 21st September, arriving at 1528. brfares.com has a long list of Advance fares from £37.30 upwards yet for any date that I search for (I selected several at random from tomorrow to the 21st September) only off-peak singles show up. Any ideas where all the...

And the payment finally arrived yesterday 1.667 months later!

In his (weighty) book The Railways Simon Bradley mentions that the original Acts which created the railway required that a physical marker of the edge of the permanent way be present. This could be a light fence, not necessarily strong enough to stop a cow. Farmers from whom the land was...

No need to specify stations, the last three words are all that are needed!
