Hi,
I scanned a GA e-ticket bought through Uber at the ticket barrier, but the train doors closed as I was running to the train. With the next train I would have been too late, so I left the station again and went home. I had an off-peak day return ticket for £30, but my refund application was...
Hi,
I booked an advance ticket from Euston to Manchester for next Friday, the day before the train strike. I am no longer able to travel, and the next time I need to get to Manchester is only August 2024.
Can I exchange it for an off-peak ticket that is dated only for next year? Or is there any...
Thanks for your help! So after trying a SWT ticket machine (only sold any permitted route), SWT ticket office (couldn't find it), Southeastern TVM (didn't have tickets from another station), and Thameslink TVM (only Any Permitted), I checked this morning again and the restriction has been...
Hi,
I was going to buy this ticket for tomorrow but didn't buy it in advance in case I didn't have to go in the end, thinking it's an off-peak ticket so should stay the same price.

However now, it seems like Grand Central has...
Got a response within 5 minutes after contacting them through Facebook Messenger!
Seats are reserved but apparently the train does not offer specific seats, so I just got seat ***. Isn't that unusual for Paddington to Exeter?
It does say in the journey planner mandatory reservations, but can't find anything on their website on how to get one unless doing it without buying a ticket.
Visiting a ticket office seems to be the only option?

Transplit doesn't show the 1857 Euston-Manchester on the 21st of February, why is that? Even when I force only trains via Crewe with no changes it dosn't come up
Thanks, Trainsplit was great!
Found a flexible super-off-peak return ticket for 23.10 with West Midland Trains and Transport for Wales via Crewe, only takes 1 hour longer each way compared to Virgin...
Hi,
Is there any website which looks for cheaper trains by splitting the journey and taking slower trains?
I don't mean the standard journey splitting, where you take the fastest train and then check if it is cheaper to buy tickets for that fast train.
I want to travel on the 23rd of August from...
I noticed on Great Northern that ticket inspectors always carry a massive backpack with them.
I heard that these are somehow for the case they get attacked, but couldn't find any sort of further information about this online - can anyone shed some light on this?
Hi,
I got a ticket with a 16-25 railcard discount, but got a disabled railcard - the price would be the same, but will the ticket be accepted or is it possible to change the ticket for free?
Thanks
Going from Victoria saves over £20 for a journey thats an hour longer - thanks for the tip!
Megabus seems to have stopped going to Bournemoth or Poole from London, and they also seem to have stopped Megatrain tickets on SWT from Waterloo to Southampton. National Express is around £30 for that...
Hi,
I am looking for a cheap ticket from London to Poole on Friday, the 25th of August departing between 8am and 2pm, but for some reason there are no advance tickets available on that day at all.
Why is that/is there a cheaper way to get there on a different route?
Got a disabled railcard...
