Thanks very much indeed. Edit: Think she may go with the standard ticket to give her some flexibility. If she does book advance and miss the particular train, what can she do?

Hi A friend is wondering on the best ticket purchase for a long weekend. Journey is: Friday 7th Nov (afternoon) - Newcastle NCL to Manchester Piccadilly MAN Saturday 8th Nov (lunchtime) - MAN to Leeds LDS Sunday 9th Nov (evening) - LDS to NCL She holds a Student Railcard. Any ideas on...

On this topic, I have problems with Stratford (London) (SRA). I had a Gravesend to London + HS annual a few years back, which never let me through at SRA in either direction. I just assumed this was down to the barriers (apparently) being controlled by LU. I moved to coach travel, then back...

I worked at Moorgate full time when I used HS1, and the quickest route for me to Moorgate was alight at Stratford Int, walk through Westfield and jump on the mainline to Liverpol Street. The walk to Moorgate tube station from Liverpool Street is only 5 minutes. This was a heck of a lot quicker...

Hi guys Just wondering what the options are for an individual wanting to commute from the Crayford area to Cannon St. I assume there isn't really anything cheaper than a standard annual season from Crayford to LT, but does this ticket allow travel via Slade Green? Is there any ticket that...

OK thanks guys. Will investigate further but not looking promising... As you say, £39 each way with Gravesend to London on top doesn't really seem worth the restrictions of advance.

Ahh must have missed it. London to Edinburgh advances up for £50.40, but no through tickets...

Hi all Any ideas on cheapest fare for travelling from Gravesend to Helensburgh Central on Wed 21st Aug, returning Sunday 25th Aug? No real restrictions on times/routes/changes. Many thanks Pav

Thanks again And wow that is cheap! Not sure I could ever give that a try! Is that just because of the separate line options? Why is a ticket like Barnehurst to Banbury available as super off peak?

No, that's all perfect. Thanks both. These fares are all PAYG I take it? So in theory, I could reduce journey prices from Gravesend to London by getting a paper ticket to Barnehurst, then using Oyster from there to London Terminals (obviously with extra hassle)? Edit: Sorry - one more thing...

OK. Ta. So have those kinds of journeys always been cheaper on Oyster?

Hi island. Yes, that's what I thought, but looking at single barnehurst to london terminals off-peak at £6, it suggests cheapest Oyster fare is £3.50... how so? Soil - thanks, should have waited. Got Paddington to Oxford return for £11.50 per person. So suppose it's down to the...

OK change of plan now - starting journey from Barnehurst (and returning there), so no option of High Speed. Now it just depends on whether the split is better than the whole. Barnehurst to Oxford off-peak open return for 2 = £47.50. Barnehurst to Paddington - cheapest way by PAYG Oyster...

Hi all Hope someone can help. Looking for thoughts on following journeys: Depart from Gravesend Friday 1st March morning Return from Oxford Sunday 3rd March afternoon 2 adults with Network Railcard Flexible with times. I think after 10.30 on Friday is best due to Railcard...

Our provider has been able to do a refund and reissue, instead of changeover. Basically you get a new annual Oyster, and still receive a refund on the paper ticket pro-rata on number of days left. So you don't lose the annual discount on the paper ticket. Only issue is the Oyster is based on the...

The travelcards are valid in zones 1-9 on the specific dates you have games tickets for, but you need to carry the actual event tickets with them for them to be valid. Yes, you will receive a games travelcard for each individual event ticket you have. They are valid for single days, so you'll...

So I can purchase return to London Terminals for £3.70 (or £4.80 with +HS) on any day of the Games period, as long as I carry my Games ticket with me... --- old post above --- --- new post below --- OK quick question. Don't wanna get stuck with a fine of some sort. Now travelling to two...

Ah yes I see. Changing journey times to peak gives: GRV to Games: £1.85 single (£3.70 return) NR site: GRV to SGR: £7.75 cheapest (2 singles) Ooh just noticed I can also get +HS singles for £2.40. Cheaper than my usual +HS season ticket upgrade. OK so, after reading other...

Am I missing something? I have tickets for Saturday 1st and Friday 7th (evening). I get the following price using the games ticket website: Gravesend to London Games: £1.85 each way (with Gold Card) If I use the NR site: Gravesend to Slade Green: £3.10 return (with Gold Card) (Don't...

I'm not getting any less confused about Travelcards on Oyster, but I wonder if I may ask another question. Are there particular terms of use associated with Travelcards on Oyster? In particular, changeovers/refund&reissue. I see the National Rail CoC covers these in paragraph 37. Nothing is...
