I have to make this journey later today, and I wonder what the easiest and cheapest way to do this is. Train to clapham junction and then a train from there to teddington according to tfl website. Can I use my oyster card on these trains, or do I have to buy a paper ticket? Thanks! --- old...

I currently have a 16-25 young person railcard that has been given to me by NatWest for the last 5 years. Sadly, the one I have now is due to expire on the 8th October 2012, and I am not due any more free railcards from NatWest. I'm now 23, with my birthday in early January. I could purchase...

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to make the most of their student discount offer (50% with railcard) for a Sheffield to Liverpool Lime Street journey. Outward Friday 21st September, Inward Saturday 22nd September. If I search Sheffield - Liverpool on the East coast website, and then choose...

Hi, me and a friend are wanting to spend 3 nights in Edinburgh. We want to arrive either on the 1st October and return on the 4th, or depart on the 2nd and return on the 5th. We both have railcards. My nearest stations are Leeds or Bradford Interchange, and my friend's nearest station is...

I have loyaly enough points to be eligible for a return journey on the East Coast network. Now, I want to make use of this to visit a friend in London (I live in Leeds). I want to be able to see on what days there is availablilty for me to use these free tickets, and then me to relay this to my...

I've made some last minute plans to go and see a friend in London this weekend. I usually book any trips to London in advance so I've had come to terms with the higher prices. I wonder if there's anything you can do to get the price down even further? First of all I have a railcard, and I'm...

There are three of us (only one railcard) travelling from Bradford to York this Saturday, and then back to Bradford in the evening. An off peak day return is £13.70 (£9.05 for me with my railcard). Is there anything I could do to make this any cheaper?

Just wondered if you guys could clarify something for me relating to ticket excesses. On Friday, I bought an Anytime Return from Leeds to Barnsley, the outward portion of which is valid for five days. I then made the ouward journey from Leeds to Barnsley the same day. The next day, we decided...

I'm not sure how new this feature is, but I nearly ended up on an invalid train today because of it. I was in Barnsley and wanted to get to Bradford (this would be the return leg of my Bradford to Barnsley Anytime return). I checked the Rail Planner Live app on my phone, which suggested that...

Hi, I received some great help from you guys regarding a trip from Bradford to Milton Keynes for this coming weekend. Well, now my plans may now be changing slightly. My new, potential journey would be from Barnsley to Skegness departing on the morning of Friday 6th April, and returning the...

Hi, I am wanting an off-peak return (i.e. don't want to commit to specific trains) from Bradford Stations to Milton Keynes Central, departing on 5th April 2012. I was wondering if anyone knew of any splits I could make use of? I have a young persons railcard. A Bradford Stations to Milton...

I've used their seat selector a few times before and every time it's worked fine. I've tried using it now on both Chrome and Internet Explorer and the large box where the trains and seats are usually displayed is just empty. All I can think of is that I was notified and updated to a new version...

Hi all, on Friday 18th November (around 4/5pm) I will be travelling from Banbury to Bournemouth, returning on Sunday 20th. I have a Young Person Railcard, any suggestions how I could bring down the price from the normal £36.30 for any off peak return? I don't want to commit to advance tickets...

My girlfriend travelled from Banbury today to Birmingham New Street. It was pretty chaotic, and the train pulled into Birmingham about an hour late (this was about fifteen minutes ago). She's pretty annoyed, and I'm looking at the Cross Country delay-repay form for her, even if it is only a...

I'm flying out from Heathrow on 28th December, and I'm wanting to travel down from Leeds for the cheapest possible price. I've just been having a look at the latest week of tickets available to get a rough idea, and there are some good advance tickets from Sheffield to Heathrow Underground (I...

Just trying to search Banbury-Bath Spa departing this Friday on London Midland and Eat Coast website, but the outward leg around 12:00 it just won't let me select any tickets. However, on XC website it will let me. Any idea what's wrong with the website?

For as long as I can remember, I have always been unable to purchase tickets from Trainline-based websites (Cross-country / Transpennine Express etc.) using Mozilla Firefox. I wondered if anyone else encountered similar problems, or whether it is something with my set up? (Not sure if this is...

I've not really thought about this before, but I'm just looking at split ticketing from a different angle. The general consensus on this forum is, esp. over long journeys, the ticket is going to be extortionally priced, so take advantage of the flawed system, spending a lot of time working...

Everytime I see a pendo, I am amazed at how much of the train is comprised of first class coaches. Do these coaches actually get? They must do I guess - otherwise surely they'd have de-classified a couple of them by now! By the way, I never really travel on Virgin trains so I'm not really...

Typing "Leeds" into National Rail Enquiries website shows Leeds Bradford Airport is a possible option. However, this station doesn't actually exist! Any ideas why its on there? Did it used to exist and was closed, or has it never existed?
