My 07:18 train in the morning from Preston to Birmingham New Street has been cancelled and the next train is an hour later. My return train is at 15:06 both on Advance Singles booked together on Trainsplit (with no splits). I know I can catch the next train out on my Advance ticket but can I...
What the situation with Delay Repay in London when you have used contactless to touch in and out, not a booked ticket, to connect to your train out of London. Fortunately I managed to make my train with some creativity despite virtually all the trains into London Bridge being cancelled. But...
So my Avanti train left Euston for Glasgow at 19:30 but due to the cancellation of the earlier 18:30 the train was heaving, the train was declassified, seat reservation cancelled and it was packed standing room only for what turned out to be a 3hr journey. I had a Standard Premium ticket but...
Just a hypothetical now as it all worked out and her onward ticket was not checked. My partner was on a Crewe to London train this morning on an Advance ticket. Turned out the train had no working toilets so she had to get off part way to use the station toilets and then catch the next...
Does anyone understand Avanti’s Standard Premium (SP) booking? I use Avanti’s Standard Premium all the time between Preston or Manchester Piccadilly and Euston but on Monday I want to go Preston to Milton Keynes Central. The trip needs a change at Crewe. When I try to book it as a single...
Just wondering what happens if two of us are travelling on a Two Together railcard, the train in cancelled and one of us wants to catch the next train and one abandon the journey. Do we still have to travel together for their ticket to be valid for travel?
Just wondering who I should apply to for Delay Repay. My Avanti train inti Euston on a day the Tube strikes were on. So I walked to St Pancras for the train to London Bridge. When I got there the Victoria train home and the subsequent one half an hour later were cancelled. With the...
I booked two Advance Standard Premium tickets to go from Euston to Stockport this Thursday then back to London from Preston on Friday. The reason for the trip had now gone. For Thursday’s ticket I have paid the £20 fee and rebooked them for two weeks time but I don’t have an obvious date to...
Does anyone know if I can use PAYG Contactless to go from Crofton Park to Potters Bar? The TfL map has PBR as ”Outside fare zones” although Hatfield beyond it is in for Contactless but not Oyster The National Rail Contactless map has both stations on it. I tried buying an eTicket on here...
I received notification this morning from Avanti that the 20:30 from Euston for which I have an Advance Single ticket has been cancelled. They have said I can use it on the two trains before or the two after (although there is only one after that gets in a midnight) so I am having to change...
I have a ticket from Preston to MCR (Manchester Stations) and then onward from Piccadilly to Euston. Can I break my journey within the MCR station group? I want to get off at Deansgate to do something then carry on to Piccadilly or is it exhausted at the first statiion within the group that I...
I was due to catch the 15:54 Euston (EUS) to Manchester Piccadilly (MAN) on a EUS-Milton Keynes (MKC)-Rugby (RUG)-Stockport (SPT)-MAN Anytime 1st ticket bought on here. Would easily have made it except the Northern Line train I was on broke down between Old St and Kings Cross (KGX). By the...
Parking at my local station is free and I usually park there and catch the train to Preston to go to London. i have just seen that my local train this afternoon and the two before it have all been cancelled. So the only way to make my Euston train is to drive to Preston where they charge...
I’ve noticed in booking that a lot of Avanti trains are listed now on their app as Standard and First Class only. Is Standard Premium being withdrawn? The train I was on today didn’t have an SP coach on a route where I normally use it (Euston-Preston).
I am travelling regularly from Euston to Preston. The cost of an Advance Single with a Senior Railcard comes in at £50.15. If I go to Manchester Picadilly instead its £24.40 and I can get a Manchestero to Preston ticket for £6.75 coming to a grand total of £31.15, a saving of £19.00. If I...
I am on the much delayed 11:16 Blackpool North train from Euston to Preston (departed 43 mins late). I have a ticket through this site split at Coventry. After the train departed they announced it was not stopping at Coventry and passengers for Coventry should change at Rugby. Question is...
I have an Advance Standard ticket I bought via the RailUKForums ticketing to go Euston-Preston next week on Avanti splitting at Coventry. I used my Senior Railcard in the purchase. My partner has now said she’d like to come with me. We have a Two Together Railcard. Is there any way to...
When I buy a ticket on the Forum I have to give times for the outward and return journey even if it is an Anytime Return. My question is how is the delay calculated if I go to catch an earlier train. For example last week I finished meetings in Manchester early and went to get a train an hour...
I want to get a ticket from Salwick Station to Preston to catch a train to London. Salwick is convenient but has very few trains stopping (lots passing). The National Rail website lists a 15:55 going away from Preston to Kirkham and then from Kirkham back to Preston in good time for my onward...
