Buxton ticket office to be closed? Is that a joke? Its a terminus station, serving 300,000 people a year, Northern Rail guards are going to have their work cut out.

I'm a bit confused, do that mean if I pay part by card and pay part by points I can't use a TOD?

I'm 18 and here's my take on music. I like a lot of music that came out the charts in the mid 90s to early 2000s, Oasis, Lightning Seeds, Stereophonics, Travis a lot of the dance music like ATB, Stardust and even the pop like S Club, its just a part of my early life and I've spent hours on...

I use PlusBus tickets irregularly but have used them 5 or 6 times now, in Stockport they either nod or ask what it is and let me on. I've not had a problem. I used a Manchester one up to Kearsley which I'm not sure is valid but got away with it, I thought ones to Stockport/Manchester were valid...

Hi All. I've got a £10 e voucher and I'm looking to stick towards just an ordinary Anytime return fare, that will be Chinley to Hull - next Saturday (10th). Can I do this, order an anytime return ticket now for next Saturday part buy by voucher and part pay by card? The ticket cost is...

National Rail Enquiries routes via SPT. A direct TPE MAN to Cleethorpes train. This is 23 miles further though than the routing giving above but with it being on NRE it must be valid...

Into Wales :lol:

No, no, no! Alcohol banned on trains? The majority of people causing disruption when under the influence have already had enough BEFORE boarding the train. I've been on trains with various football supporters, QPR, Huddersfield, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Birmingham, Stockport County...

I've not got any intention of staying at home for 3 years, its more pressure by my parents to stop at home :| . My job is 7 miles away and has pulled in a serious bit of money for me this Summer. I'm aware the commute could 'kill me' and I'm not the kind of person to put up with it. As I said...

I think some posters have got it into their heads that I must catch a bus! Mossley Hill station is 1.3 miles away, hardly a bus journey and walkable in 20 minutes as I did on my applicant day earlier this year. I'm going to do the commute till Christmas at least and see how it goes. My course...

I thought this had been completed weeks ago? That shelter has in fact been completed for a good while now! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I thought this had been completed weeks ago? That shelter has in fact been completed for a good while now! Good news is in December when...

The great thing about 142s and 150s is... the windows! You can actually open and close them! On 142s you may be fried alive on a 27C summers day by sitting next to a window, but you will actually have some comfort of what little air manages to come through them...

Been to The Gambia three times as a 12, 13 and 14 year old on 2 week holidays. Had some awesome fun on all three trips - one thing I learnt: going in a taxi in 48 C sunshine is no fun! Other than that, France at 14 on a school trip!

Voted Conservative at local elections earlier this year. First time I've been able to vote since I turned 18. I'm now a member of UKIP though as I think we are being given a seriously rough deal by Europe, we live in a 'democracy' that we should fight for before the Europhiles take all member...

Buxton to Barrow in Furness is 36 stops... :) the most stops on a service in Northern England. Runs at 1527 M-F and terminates in BIF at 1859.

Online ones can fade or scratch pretty quickly. Stick it in the same pocket as some keys for example and you'll find it scratches fairly fast. At the station ones, I've found (just got my 1st station one) you can stick tickets in the railcard wallet as well and at manual ticket inspections...

Not a clue on timetable yet, though I'd prefer early morning starts as I'm generally more awake at 6am than I am at 8 or 9 at night! Last train to Chinley is 2130 from Liverpool. I've taken into account waits for lectures and all, used to go into sixth form and wait 5 hours for a lesson one...

Woops I meant would be cheaper. 2nd year I've a possibly of time abroad for studying, I'm definitely going to spend some time away during Uni at some point. I spent most of my time out of the house anyway, my parents call me a lodger they never see :D

Fair point, cost is the thing though, its £60 a week to go by train, £90+ food etc in halls. 1st year I'm going to give the commute a go. Yeah, I'm aware it could do. I'm thinking of doing work on the train where I can, most of the journeys would be half an hour plus. I appreciate the...

delete... woops.
