I have booked a journey from Stamford to Penzance in July using three separate tickets but all under the same booking reference. Stamford-Peterborough 08.00, Peterborough-London 10.10 (advance ticket) and London-Penzance 12.07. Since I made the booking, the departure time of the 12.07 from...

Quick question: I have some delay repay vouchers to use up, which can't be used for on-line booking. Can I use them to buy advance tickets at a ticket office, or are advance tickets on-line only?

... on a Saturday. A friend wants to make this trip and asked me what ticket to get. If I type in Peterborough to Welling on the FCC booking sites, it offers "One Day Off Peak Travelcard - Peterborough to London Zones 1-6" price £37.50 as the cheapest option. However if I type in...

I have 12 GPS-4 FCC Peterborough to London super off peak day travel cards, £12 each. As I understand it, GPS-4 are only valid if 4 people travel together. Now we only need 11, can I exchange 4 of the tickets for 3 GPS-3 tickets at a ticket office? The tickets each have a unique 5 digit...

My journey was from Peterborough to Scarborough, I had one 1st Advance Single for the complete journey, and seat reservations for 2 specific trains. My East Coast service to York left Peterborough 10 mins late and arrived at York 10 mins late, I had an 8 min connection onto my connecting TPE to...

Just heard Alex Salmon on the BBC news talking about Mark Carney's review of the issues to do with a currency union. Not sure if it was a slip of the tongue, but if not it comes across as extermely arrogant. Went something along the lines of: "Mark Carney will be looking purely at the...

Apparently someone has been hit by a freight train on Ketton level crossing this evening. The crossing is on the line between Oakham and Stamford, adjacent to the former Ketton & Collyweston station. The road is a minor road going from Ketton to Collyweston, the crossing also separates Ketton...

I went down to London a few weeks back and on the way noticed some wagons standing on Harringay curve. No loco on the north end so I assumed there was one I couldn't see on the other end and it was waiting for the signal at Harringay Park junction. But my question is this, how does a...

On Dec 28 I and a friend are travelling from Salisbury to Peterborough. We have Advance Std Single tickets (route EC & connecting) and seat reservation tickets for 3 trains. As they are advance tickets, we are committed to the trains departing Salisbury at 17.47, Basingstoke at 18.39 and Kings...

Can someone please tell me what the disabled facilities are like on East Coast trains. I want to take my mum on a trip up to York, from Peterborough, but she is disabled, she cannot walk at all and cannot stand unaided. I have previously noticed seats marked as priority seats for the disabled...

During my spell in the RAF in the 80's I remember services through my local station - Stamford - being formed of class 31 locos and Mk1 coaches. These operated a Birmingham to Norwich service (via the Ely loop) and usually didn't stop at Stamford on weekdays, although there were some exceptions...

Last Saturday I did a mini bash just for the hell of it. Stamford-Peterborough-Kings Cross-Euston-Manchester-Leeds-Peterborough-Stamford, I had a 1st day return Stamford-Peterborough and the rest on 1st advances. Bit of a dodgy start as the 8.01 at Stamford arrived on time but then sat there...

As a frequent cross country walker, with and without dog, I have noticed that trains approaching footpath crossings - this is in the Stamford area on the Leicester to Peterborough line - often only give a 1 tone whistle instead of a 2 or 3 tone whistle. I find that when they are approaching the...

If I buy a 7 day ALR ticket, I assume it is valid for 7 days or part days, rather than lasting for 7 x 24 hours from when first used. In other words, if first used at 23.50 on the first day, you have in effect wasted a day. Is this correct? Leading on from this, I assume that it expires at...
