Hi all, I'm looking for the best* possible flexible fare (or combination of fares) for a journey from Leyland to Sunderland. Routeing is unimportant however we have a preference for trains with WiFi and tables. 1 adult and 1 child with a family railcard. Arriving at roughly 1.30pm, departing...

I've been informed someone has been hit by a train at Leyland. Commiserations to the family and the driver involved. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Some fares from a few Lancashire stations to stations in the Bradford and Leeds area are routed "via Burnley", at a significant discount to the "Any Permitted" fares. These are presumably designed to be used on the Blackpool North to York service along the Copy Pit line. However, are these valid...

Afternoon all, On Saturday 8th July I hope to be travelling from Leyland to Barrow-in-Furness and back. Normally this would be a fairly straightforward journey, changing at Preston and sometimes Lancaster. I also identified a split at Arnside to lower the cost. However, with the 8th being a...

I've just seen this pop up on my Facebook feed from the ever-reputable LAD Bible (:roll:). TheLADBible aren't known for being entirely truthful, and they make no mention of his return journey back up north - which personally makes me believe the story is a load of old tosh that has been...

Are any fellow forum members festival-goers? If so, have you ever been to one by rail? I'm contemplating going to one at the end of summer but I'd have to go by train and I'm not sure, with all the luggage, that it's a good option. The journey would involve 2 changes at fairly major stations...

Tomorrow I'll be going from Darwen to Blackpool North (1 child), meeting 2 friends (1 adult, 1 child) who'll be coming from Leyland, at Preston (arriving into BPN at 4pm ish). At roughly 9pm we'll all be travelling back to Leyland. I have a feeling the cheapest option is a DWN-BPN return and...

Yesterday I travelled from Leyland to Nottingham and return and was delayed on both legs of the journey. On the outbound leg I was unable to board the 1143 train from Manchester to Nottingham and the following train (1243) arrived into Nottingham 3 minutes late, meaning I was delayed by 63...

Next Friday I will hopefully be travelling to Nottingham, however the suitably priced and timed Advances have now gone (:(). My question is, is the following tickets valid with the following itinerary? LEY-CRL Off Peak Day Return £1.70 (Child) GM Conc Wayfarer £6.00 Derbyshire Wayfarer...

Two questions; 1) is this valid for BOJ? 2) looking at the Routeing Guide leads me to believe this is valid Preston-Bolton-Wigan-Warrington-Manchester-Crewe. Am I correct in thinking this? I don't think I'll be doing that I'm just wondering if I understood the RG correctly (I'll probably do...

I've been looking at multi-day Rovers recently, and as always, I have been looking at First Class where possible. :D My question is this: what is the procedure when upgrading to First Class on a Rover ticket? I hope it's as simple as the difference between the SDS and the FDS for the journey but...

I've just been told by the Northern guard on board that you have to be 18 to have an F&F railcard, nothing has come of it I'm just curious as to whether this is actually a rule or not? I thought it was 16. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi all, I have booked 2 Advances from Euston to Preston (1 adult, 1 child with Family and Friends Railcard discount) on Saturday 7th January. However I'm looking at the possibility of travelling separately, 1 adult on the train booked onto currently with me (child) moved onto a train in the...

On 5th January I'm travelling from Preston to London on the 1258 from PRE in First Class. As I've never been in First on a weekday I'm unsure as to what is on offer and when, any help on what food/drink is free is appreciated. :)

The local taxi firm, Avacab, will be launching the Leyland Circular bus route later this year. I'm unable to find an official source other than this Facebook post from someone who claims to be one of the people behind this venture; granted I've not looked very hard. :lol: If this is true then...

First of all, I know next summer is a while off, hear me out... As I'm in my final year of high school, I will have a rather large summer holiday in which a lot of it I will be at a loose end as my friends are still in school til July. As I will be by myself for a fair section of the...

Thought I might as well start my trip report thread, should be a report here Sunday/Monday from a trip I'm undertaking tomorrow. :)

Right, this one is really complex and I'm struggling to get my head around it. On Saturday 5th November, me and my friends (all aged under 16) will be going to two separate places, 3 of us to Rotherham, and 1 plus me to Aston. I own a Family and Friends railcard so would be on an adult ticket...

On Saturday 1st October I will be traveling to watch a match at St Andrews Stadium with my father (1 adult and 1 child traveling). A self-made split brings the total cost to slightly over £47 (can't remember the exact price) to BHM (New Street). I have tried to use trainsplit to see if I can...
