    Help! Preston to Euston

    Hi my friend has a ticket from Blackpool North to Euston and is now stuck at Preston due to an incident at oxenholme where there doesn't seem to be a time of it finishing. Can he travel on the 1010 from Preston to Manchester Piccadilly and get an Avanti service to Euston from there. He has an...

    LNER e-ticket barcode

    Hi, Just wanted to get confirmation on something, I already asked LNER if it's okay to buy an e-ticket and send it to a friend to use which it is but they haven't got back to me on my second question and this definitely the right place for any advice! Does my friend need the LNER e-ticket email...

    Avanti standard premium

    There was recently an issue with the seat reservations on Avanti lately, I've booked two trips and never got allocated a seat. Just *** for coach and seat number on the reservation coupons

    Avanti Superfare

    I can confirm the superfare worked absolutely fine both ways, although granted on the outbound trip my e-ticket wasn't checked anywhere and due to its late arrival into Manchester they ushered everyone through the gates as quickly as possible without checking. Only disadvantage not with the...

    Avanti Superfare

    I've got my outbound ticket now and as expected it's a .pdf file with a QR code showing the seat reservations and other details. Can I print out this ticket and use that to show / scan at any barriers or do I have to show it on my phone instead?

    Avanti Superfare

    I've bitten the bullet and bought a ticket from Euston to Manchester on the 12th between 7am and 11.59am, returning on the 14th in the afternoon slot Lets see what happens now, I'm happy that effectively I've saved just over £60 on the more flexible off peak return :)

    Avanti Superfare

    I've been through the comments on this thread and I didn't see anyone ask the question that was on my mind and I can't see it in the terms and conditions of the ticket but is this Superfare Ticket sent as an e-ticket to your phone or does the e-mail they send give you a TOD to collect the ticket...

    I'm not sure but I suspect you be charged more than £3 for tapping out on a Contactless card without having tapped in first

    Off Peak Return - not working the barriers

    On Monday I travelled from Slade Green to Manchester on an off-peak return, due to delays on the Elizabeth Line I opted to stay on a Southeastern service to London Bridge and change there for the Northern Line to Euston. Unfortunately, as I had opted to get an earlier train I had arrived at...

    Advance Purchase Tickets - the daily battle!

    I think it depends. I'm paranoid about being late so I'm at the station for long distance journeys at least an hour before my train. It's easier to get there super early and have a coffee than rush there with a few minutes to spare. But I'm sure some people just love the thrill of the chase to...

    Advance Purchase Tickets - the daily battle!

    I personally think that Advance tickets are great for people who suffer from anxiety, because you know you've bought a ticket for a specific train so its valid on the train you're on and there's nothing to worry about Rather than a walk up ticket which may or may not be valid at the time or...

    Potential gateline probability issues

    It all worked out okay in the end. The Elizabeth Line was suffering from severe delays so opted to jump on a Southeastern train to London Bridge and the gates were open

    Southeastern Railway Fare Evasion Prosecution MG11

    Because the wording on the screenshot for the summons says that they are claiming for the fare and a "contribution of £135" towards the prosecution costs, this says to me that they are most certainly open to an out of court settlement - as if someone asked me for a contribution towards something...

    Problems at ticket barriers with All Line Rover

    Reminds me of London Bridge, I got so much grief when trying to exit the station at 0900 to get the underground when using an off peak return from Slade Green to Carlisle that I emailed Southeastern and they confirmed the tickets are perfectly valid with the restriction code (can't remember...

    Do they actually fine people starting/ending short with an Advance Ticket?

    Southern Daysave - what's the catch?

    It must depend on the type of TVM you collected it from, I bought a Daysave in advance a few years back and it said must be collected from a Southern station and I just tried my luck on the ticket machine at Slade Green and it printed it...in two halves I can't remember what each part said but...
