    Advance Purchase Fare Variation

    A question regarding the possibility to alter an advance purchase fare to allow for increased interchange time. Example journey - London Euston to Aberystwyth leaving after 1800. On NRE website it's possible to specify a 30min interchange time (at Birmingham). That option gives 18:23...

    Rail fares inc of taxi fare

    I have noticed this in the Virgin Trains Passenger Charter: SECTION 5.1 If you are travelling with Virgin Trains and are delayed for more than one hour waiting for a train at a station, we will, where possible, provide you with vouchers for free non-alcoholic drinks. If your train is...

    Heathrow Express Class 360

    The annoying issue about this is that there is no longer a direct service from Terminal 4 to Paddington that was once provided by the Heathrow connect on a 30min interval... now everyone going to Terminal 4 must change trains.... and people taking the cheaper connect service must change to go...

    Penrhyndeudraeth accident report

    Ultimately this is a USER WORKED CROSSING. Unfortunate as it is for those involved in this accident, it is up to the user to obey the rules and obtain permission from the signaller prior to crossing with a vehicle or farm animals. In responses to some of the comments: 1) There are over 100...

    Validity of Off peak London Euston (EUS) - Machynlleth (MCN)

    Thanks for taking the time to read my post and for the feedback.... I agree totally with Yorkie about the poor excuses... in fact they were trying to shift the blame while also implying that I was trying to cheat the system (and that took 20 mins to get to that point too). Another poor...

    Validity of Off peak London Euston (EUS) - Machynlleth (MCN)

    The answer here is the ticket has a ticket restriction code 2T (travel on any train after 0415 M-F) I happen to be another customer who has been making this journey (and also South Hampstead to Aberystwyth) on an almost weekly basis from June 2009 to July 2010 (present) working on the...
