Hmmm... didn't spot that - my mistake, obviously had woken up after doing a 17 hour stint at work yesterday!!! :oops::oops::oops:

Good morning all. My job dictates that I have to go to London from Preston on quite a few occasions in the next few weeks and generally I travel off peak in roder to avoid paying silly prices. Generally I will book in advance or split my journey at Crewe and travel with London Midland. This...

In reference to my comment regarding outlawing I was been flippant. I'm sure Andy wakeford would want to see it outlawed, but for the time being he's going to have to live with it!! Maybe we wouldn't have to fare split if the system was more simple and different companies didn't do their own...

Thanks for making the above point. I think I should have pointed out in the first instance that these are generally day trips rather than for a length of time. However I am aware that an off peak return gives more validity than a combination of standard day return tickets. I sure Virgin...

I can see where you are coming from, but Virgin prices the ticket between Preston - Shrewsbury, but doesn't operate Crewe - Shrewsbury so why should I paid peak time restriction for a journey not covered by their company? Being pendantic one could say well pay the £35 down to Crewe then do...

Good morning all I've just had a look in the new NFM02 kindly supplied by users on this forum and see to my disgust quite frankly that Virgin have removed most of their previosuly unrestricted tickets with restricted tickets! Basically they've taken off the 8A (use on any train, any time) and...

Good Afternoon All. On Saturday (13th) I travelled with 2 friends from Preston - York, out via Burnley and back via Manchester using the off peak return ex Saver Return for £31.60. I am aware there is an exclusive northern ticket marked "route burnley only" for about £22, but we were coming...

Thanks for the additional clarification on routes and restrictions. I think I might take this post with me in addition to the maps, just in case I need some additional firepower..... :shock: Many thanks, WestCoastTravel

Many thanks for the replies much apprecieated. The "book of a post" was rather useful actually and thankyou very much for taking the time to compile it. I'm still learning how to use the routeing guide and will get to the bottom of it one of these days, but in the meantime I'm still prone to...

Hi there, Firstly if this has been asked before then I must profusely apologise for bringing it up again, but I was wondering if anybody on the forum would be able to clarify that the following routes are valid for this ticket (using the updated routeing guide). Ticket in question is a...

Ah I see some naughty person has already loaded it up onto there site, oh well that'll teach me to act on impulse and get the full licenced version from TSO!! :lol: Nevertheless still a fanatastic bit of kit no matter where you get it from. WestCoastTravel.

Ah yes there is that option, but if that train's late (which it usually is) I miss my bus, which result in a expensive taxi ride to the office - usual in excess of £10, compared to £3.10 return on the bus! But thanks for pointing it out. In addition I understand that Nuneaton may lose...

Thanks for all the replies. In answer to some questions: 1. I usual go down for the day, so its good to know that the Stoke on Trent to Nuneaton ticket is valid via Crewe and Birmingham. Furthermore having looked at a previous ticket it does state "any permitted" in the route section...

Hi There I'm new on the forum, but have read this section of the forum with great interest, as it just up my street! I now have purchased the new National Fares Manual (NFM01) and have a question about routeing. Is the Stoke on Trent to Nuneaton off peak return (which is 8A BTW, costs...
