    Two Together Railcard conditions

    I am wondering about the morning restrictions with this railcard. The conditions say it cannot be used between 04:30am and 09:30am, so does that mean if you catch a train before 04.30 you must get off at 04.30?

    The infamous 1915 from Paddington (police called to handle situation on 18th Sept)

    FGW WiFi

    it is based on the train because it is connectible in normally dead spots. some will allocate me an address using dhcp and some won't. i suppose FGW will get upset if i accidentally break in to it :)

    paddington to abergavenny, this afternoon?

    the problem is it won't save me much time and fgw planner says i am not allowed to catch the 15:52, so i would be faced with arguing my case. i was hoping the super off peak restrictions wouldn't apply at swindon, or i could get a train from swindon which didn't come from london. looks like i...

    Super off peak validity to South Wales.

    Occasionally, I have to pick something up in Swindon on my way back to South Wales. Is it possible to get the 19.00 from Paddington to Bristol, get my letter and get on the 19.15 from Paddington, with a Super Off Peak ticket to Newport? The ticket wouldn't normally be valid to Swindon on that...

    Newport to Paddington 3rd October

    Anyone know why I can't find a 05.30am Newport to Paddington for 3rd October? FGW website doesn't have any engineering work. If it isn't running any alternatives that would be cheap. There appears to be no 05.30 Tuesday-Friday. regards sean

    Mature Student YP railcard

    Quick question. Eldest son is 27 and is finishing a Masters degree. Is it ok for him to renew his Mature Student railcard early while he is still a student, even though he won't be a student in a few weeks?

    FGW rumours

    I think FGW did a good job at that time. I was traveling to London twice a week then, and they got me there and got me back. Information about what was happening was available.
