https://www.26-30railcard.co.uk/using-your-railcard/travel-times-tickets Am I correct in my understanding that if I'm making a journey using split tickets with a 26-30 railcard for which the total fare is more than £12 that it's acceptable for individual tickets to cost less than £12 given it's...

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough combined authority look like they're trying to start down the bus franchising road. I'd imagine it'll end up in favour, but I wonder whether they'll be successful? Press release on Consultation launch

I want to do the curves around South Tottenham on the 0530 on Saturday (23/4/21) from Liverpool Street (LST) to Enfield Town (ENF). I see it ran that way last week (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G19645/2022-04-16/detailed), but AFAICT it didn't the week before. Anyone have any...

In the Great Northern timetable consultation in 2018 this quote about intentions appeared...

I'm sure this is answered deep in the bowels of a thread somewhere so sorry for that. But does anyone know when there are plans to improve the frequency of the weekend services from Moorgate to 4tph on each branch? This is set out in table ECML2 in thee ITT, but I cannot work out the date...

For those of you who frequent London, Birmingham or Manchester, you'll probably know of the great journey planner citymapper. Well they've now launched their own version of the Travelcard. There are two versions, one with a few bells and whistles above a normal Travelcard (bikes and taxis). The...

So I often just want a simple off peak return from A-B (possibly 5+ times if splitting). If one goes to a ticket machine at A it will sell it simply. On the other hand online I have to enter a train for each leg, make sure I spent ify off peak times, make sure it's offering my specific ticket...

As ever at this time of year I'm interested in where one can get buses over the holidays. Mainly where is there anything on Christmas day? Where I running extra buses on late new year's eve? Where is surprisingly poor on Boxing/New year's day. I'll start with Christmas day: Lothian, very good...

If just noticed the plans for radical changes to the Dublin bus network. Broadly following the fewer more frequent core routes with more orbital lines. More info here: https://busconnects.ie I think it looks quite good, especially the much more simple but frequent central area network and...

So, we all love coming up with our different ideas for how to redesign a ticketing system, which is simple, obvious, more like oyster, but would actually work. Now I'm sure my idea has many a flaw, but here it is: We all obviously would love some kind of way to use contactless/smartcards, but...

I have a friend who'll be commuting from Redland (Bristol) to London zones 1-6 over the summer. I am aware this sounds crazy, but it's what he wants to do. Is there any way to get a season cheaper than the £2,030.30 for a straight Redland-London zones 1-6 season ticket for the period 3 July...

On the October the first (1/10/17), I'm going to try and book the Vienna to Cologne sleeper for two people in a 2-bed economy compartment. (Followed by ICE to Brussles and Eurostar to London) Now as far as I can tell, you can book this six months in advance on the OBB website, but only 3...

So I've just realised that tomorrow I have to go from Guildford to Sheringham. I also have to cross London at rush, getting the 0653 from Guildford to Waterloo and the 0830 from Liverpool Street to Norwich, returning next week at off-peak times, with 16-25 railcard. The current plan is to...

A few years ago, http://trainscanbecheaper.info/ had that ability to find out the cheapest split ticket fare for a journey, completely divorced from the routing guide, or timetables, or sensibleness or anything except price. It then disappeared, and I was wondering whether there is anything...

I am trying to excess the return portion of an Oxford-Shalford off peak return (£19.60 with 16-25 railcard) to an anytime return. But no anytime return exists; therefore, can it be excessed, or will I have to buy a whole new ticket?

Hi. On Sunday, I am looking to go to Canterbury and return, via London, and was wondering what the cheapest way for me to do it with a travelcard included was? I do not know quite when I am travelling. So basically my journey is Guildford-Waterloo-travel around London on my travelcard-St...

There is an article in the Telegraph today saying that the govenment is considering breaking up or selling Network rail. Although they don't really seem to have much to back up their claim, they do come out with some interesting claims about moving it into the private sector 'boosting...

I was just wondering whether anyone knew of any cheaper way to make these journeys cheaper than standard tickets? I am leaving this quite vague because I am not thinking of any particular journey, but am just wondering because I will be going to going to Oxford quite a lot over the next few...

Just a quick question: In the current issue of modern railways, it says that "the basic 00 version [of a wash plant] is in the region of £300,000 per wash, that's a lot cheaper than blokes with brushes." Now either I have misunderstood something, or we really are wasting our money. I...

I am sure that there has been a previous thread on this topic, but I have been unable to find one, so I'll ask anyway. How does routing work with regards travlecards? I have two examples: The first is from Dorking. From Dorking all permitted routes to London go through Leatherhead, but...
