Out on 27th July, return 28th July, with 26-30 railcard.
Any other tips and tricks, other than whats offered on the split ticketing websites?
Thank you.
I do get that however I am entitled to the discount as I have genuinely paid for my railcard. If someone didn't mind downloading TrainPal I am happy to login and show the railcard.
Is there no mitigation?
filling in some paperwork and sending proof after X number of days, otherwise a penalty...
I've got to make a few train journeys over the next few days.
I will be buying tickets with a 26-30 railcard.
However, as it is digital only, and my smartphone has died, how am I meant to prove I have the railcard? I will be without my smartphone for at least the next 4 days, all I have is a...
Unfortunately this isn't the case Imo. The regime is playing to their voter base, (ie the daily mail types) who absolutely dispise the unions, and would quite happily see thousands redundant in order to score political points against unions
Yes...
I got on the wrong one. ha ha!
Barriers didn't seem to be working, so we all were all let through at once, info screens weren't working (and still showed BST time!!) I went to platform 4 and got on the first train that said nottignham on it....
I thought it was a little quiet when I got...
Thanks all.
It looks like I will miss the connection in London!
Journey is Worthing to Nottingham, train from worthing to Gatwick is delayed by 15 mins, wiping out connection time at Gatwick.
The next train Gatwick to St Pancras will get me to St Pancras just 5 minutes prior to my 11.05 EMR...
I will be getting off a Thameslink on the lower level platforms at St Pancras. I have 15 minutes to get to to my EMR train to Nottingham.
I understand that the minimum connection time is 15 minutes. However, that does seem a little short. Is the EMR platform right by the lower level Thameslink...
Thanks all.
So using the return portion is fine from vic to worthing. but not the outward from worthing. damn.
How and why is it more expensive from Londonz rather than same price?
it's the same journey, covering the same track and distance.
Nothing more than money grabbing from GTR, with...
Going from Worthing to London Victoria on a day return ticket is much cheaper than going from Victoria to Worthing on day return.
I've noted that only the more expensive ticket is sold at ticket machines in London.
So as I need to go to Worthing from Victoria, what's stopping me from going...

My train was 35 minutes late. I missed my connection as a result.
However, I did not board the late train as it was absolutely rammed and I had luggage.
I then boarded the following service which was on time, but an hour ish after the train I'd originally intended to board. I then had a short...
A bit of a petty point from me...
I always like a forwards facing seat....
so If these changes come into fruition, it means a change of seat at Littlehampton on my Brighton to Chichester service ...unless I use the Brighton to Southamptons!!
I also think it's quite poor that there will no...
I am going from Worthing to Torquay via Barnham and Salisbury on Monday.
I've split the tickets.
Worthing to Salisbury (change at Fratton)
Salisbury to Gillingham (stay on train)
Gillingham to Torquay (change at Exeter)
The Salisbury to Gillingham ticket is marked as 'evening out single'...
What is going on at Barnham this morning? GTR say police are dealing with an incident, and a whole load of trains are cancelled and delayed because of it.
I understand something has happened to the depot?
I've also seen a video circulating on social media of trespassers at the station. This...
