Weds 26/7 0558 - Currently at Ealing Broadway trying to get to work at Heathrow... Elizabeth line a total and utter shambles, no trains to LHR, wrong platforms displayed (0602 to Paddington displayed on P4 but that platform is closed and taped off).

I wrote to my (Tory safe seat) MP last year about the complete failure of the DFT to provide an effective, reliable and safe railway transport network (at 30,000+ miles per anum on business the railway is an integral part of my safe, effective and sustainable business plan). I was answered by a...

I've had this happen before now and calling the TFL helpline got the missing touch restored. The only snag was a fairly long wait for the call to be answered and the agent took quite a while (seemingly to my anyway) to sort it out...

Thank you, really helpful...

In a couple of weeks I need to travel from Clapham Junction to Finsbury Park using Oyster. The National Rail 'lookup' gives the obvious route changing at London Victoria for the Victoria Line. However I really dislike travelling on the Victoria Line mid-summer as it is usually like an oven. So...

I had this problem last Friday, due to catch the 1812 Reading to Paddington on a 1st advance (part of a longer journey). Frustratingly I watched several 10-car sets depart to London before mine, all with plenty 1st class seats free. The platform signage did say the train was full to standing and...

I've been using the site for over a month and it is superb. Its quick, efficient and I'm fairly sure has saved me a basket load of cash. Will not be going anywhere else to buy tickets... Thank-you.

Thursday 8th at 0620 - currently at West Drayton, heavy delays Westbound, incoherent information screens and "Apologies for any inconvenience caused" being trotted out by an android voice (what a nonsense statement that is). Total and utter mess!

Tonight's ticket from Heathrow T2 to Heathrow T4 on the Elizabeth Line. It doesn't state the destination but clearly states where you can't travel to. Is this unique?

Thank you all for the advice...

A quick update on my original post... Northern having declined my delay repay claim were sent an appeal but no response so far. Out of the blue Avanti have taken up the claim, judged it and declared "Claim Successful" - I'll be paid by cheque apparently (not what I asked). So whilst I have been...

Will do and will glady contribute to the funds by using the split ticket system - this is a remarkable site and has helped on many occasions. Thank-you. PS: Just booked my first fare! Seamless

Thanks Yorkie and OK I'll give the forum ticket site a go. I typically spend about £200-300 per week on business travel so that may be of use (I assume there is a margin or commission to be had). I will be pursuing the nonsense with Northern if the appeal is rejected. As promised will update on...

Hello, I always use Avanti booking engine so that all of my e-tickets are then in one place. I booked an Anytime Day Single Senior Railcard (attached) Wilmslow-Parbold on 10th May to the following itinerary which is printed on the ticket. 16:36 from Wilmslow on Northern, 17:09 from Stockport on...

On the Westbound Elizabeth Line platform at Paddington at the moment (1830 on 260423) and the designators above the doors bear absolutely no resemblance to the announcements or on-train displays. I'm trusting the announcements as they do agree with the on-train displays.

Hello, Not sure if this is the right thread... An single engineering unit has just passed through Manchester Victoria platform 3 showing three white lights to the rear (no red) - is this a slip up or is it allowed on a train like this?

Thank you and I think this is the lesson learned here... It does make me think that walk up fares are pretty insecure so to be avoided at all costs... much appreciated, thank you.

This is a good challenge, in the past I used to find that Advance tickets were not available when searching for journeys that covered more than one TOC. Perhaps this is an out-of-date perception on my part so I'll certainly look at booking through tickets from now on...

Hello, I have today been 'dismissed' in no uncertain terms by the Customer Relations Dept at Northern. Complaining about a 3-hour gap in service last Monday between Wigan Wallgate and Parbold late evening I've been told that Northern holds no responsibility at all because I didn't have a ticket...

Hello, I discovered only yesterday that Hertford North is 'enabled' for Oyster. I have a PAYG oyster card with Senior Railcard added. I made a journey this afternoon from Hertford North to Warren St, changing at Highbury & Islington. My Oyster has been charged £6.30. I've been buying tickets...
