As a regular WCML user, I've started to see some trains with improved notifications above the seats (Shows 005 - Available if Unoccupied) They also show "Reserved from STATION NAME" and update about 5 minutes after leaving the station, which is great if you join a train and are looking for...

I'm wondering if there would be a market for a mid-priced 1st class fare on ECML and WCML which gave the seat but none of the other benefits - lounge or food. You could sell the carriage between 1st and Standard as "Standard Plus" or the like.

My local station ticket office staff are very helpful and co-operative in finding and issuing cheaper tickets and splits for my travel. I called in this morning to get a couple of tickets and they were unable to issue a London Travelcard (Adult + Child with F&F) as their old code (0035?) no...

Question - Can I buy my son a railcard discounted ticket if he travels with me on a journey that's already covered for me by a Season Ticket?

Can I buy on board, or do I need to get to a staffed station to buy in advance? I'm assuming that the new NR TVM won't sell me a weekly season ticket.

Some of the comments in this thread about fare rising preventing travel had me thinking. Personally, I've stopped using the train for football games as it wasn't running and then I realised the convenience of the car once I was forced back into it. No 30-minute trudge from the station to the...

It's looking like I'll need to travel down to London, Farringdon from Crewe 2-3 times/week, travelling down around 7am and returning from 1730 onwards. Not the world's best commute. I won't know until the week before when I'll be travelling or even if I'll be travelling at all, which does seem...

One of the main uses of my Family railcard is to take my son to the football in Manchester. All the latest strike dates have hit the Saturdays and 4 home games to end October where I would have taken the train, missing out on savings of £29, which would have notionally covered my card cost for...

I'm wondering if anyone else has experience paying for a ticket with Amex using the new large screen machines? My card was rejected by both Contactless and Chip and Pin this morning. My (personal) visa card worked fine. I know the card is working and unlocked, having used it again today...

I was playing with the machine to see what a Promise to Pay looked like; instead I was asked to insert cash or card. Unfortunately, there is no cash slot, as it's a new machine. So how's this going to play out when the line becomes fully PF at the end of the month?

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/8A Has as a note at the bottom: "Break of journey is not permitted except to change trains at an intermediate station or to access station facilities." which seems to apply to OUT and RETURN BR Fares shows it differently, and you could read it that the...

In an email about the move to a new website for uk.voyages-sncf.com there was the following announcement: M-TICKETS: IMPORTANT INFORMATION PRINT TICKETS BEFORE TRAVEL M tickets will be unavailable for travel after 27/03. If you intend to travel with a e-ticket, please ensure you print it...

I'd like to travel into the West Midlands next Saturday and split my ticket at Wolverhampton. Ideally, I don't want to get off my train and buy my Daytripper ticket as that would delay me by 20 minutes into Coventry. I know these can be bought at PayZones, but seem to be geographically...

Very busy to London today from the North West due to the League Cup final. A 9 coach Pendolino arrives at Crewe instead of what I presume should be an 11 car service. No reservations loaded in E and many conversations about seats as pax board a full and standing train. Why drop the reservations?

Again I've been asked to buy an Anytime ticket on arrival at Manchester because it's "Peak Time". (Arriving 1745 last night from Goostrey). Discussion ensues and the fare is checked by a colleague, before I'm sold an Off-Peak ticket. (Goostrey is outwith the NR Peak Time boundary). As I was...

This is the border between TFGM and West Yorkshire. Currently a single for the 7 mile trip is £7.10 and a CDR £6.00 and this hump seems to be included in many tickets crossing the boundary. Other than walking, is there any easy way to reduce this pricing speedbump when venturing into...

https://twitter.com/northernassist/status/873268459106336768 Running out of time.... Unfortunately, you need 15 minutes to allow the tickets to be delivered to your device. Only useful if you arrive with time to spare. :roll:

The fare is listed on BR Fares: http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=PLM&dest=OTR Can I get this on the train? I can't see Old Trafford as a destination online at NRE or Northern and can't get a journey planner to price up the trip. I'll be travelling with my son and using our F&F railcard...

Looking at this trip for a friend + a child, who travel around 40 times/year on a Saturday. Up until now they have been using the Northern Advance tickets that have been pulled after 21 May and need to figure out the cheapest way of making the journey. Metro Crumpsall to Piccadilly £3 +...

I'm looking to travel this Sunday and NRE is showing valid routes travelling Manchester - Crewe - Sandbach (and v.v.) Example VTWC 15:55 Manchester - Crewe 16:58 Crewe to Sandbach which is doubling back. I can't see an easement to permit this. Any idea why this is showing up for an off peak...
