We recently had a customer who possessed a Super Off-Peak Return (OPR) from London Euston (EUS) to Birmingham New Street (BHM), route "LNWR / WMT only" and priced at £25.00. She intended to travel on the 10.49 from EUS to BHM on Saturday 29th February, but was denied entry at Euston. She said...

It looks like the Saver Half (SVH) product is discontinued by Avanti from the May fares round. I haven't checked, but other similar products may be continuing on LNER (SSU) and EMR (SS2).

Many posters on here will fondly remember Red Star, the rapid and good value parcels service run by British Rail that was acquired by Lynx and closed in 2001. There’s a Wikipedia page on it and an old thread on this forum...

I was sitting outside the Costa Coffee (next to The Mad Bishop and Bear pub) at Paddington earlier today with a group of people and the question cane up whether people still called the area ‘the Lawn’ (which is what it is advertised on signs next to the sliding glass doors). Two people had no...

Does anyone know what type of train operates the Poznan to Wroclaw IC service? And what operates the Polregio service? I'd prefer a loco + coaches as opposed to a Pendolino type train. Cheers

I am trying to look up some train times on GWR.com, but it doesn't seem to be working - all I get is "an error has occurred". It's been like that since about 12.30 for me. It's not caching, as I tried incognito mode in Chrome. Anybody else experiencing the same?

Because of high winds there is currently a blanket 50mph speed restriction across Southeastern, imposed by Network Rail. I can understand this as several trains have already hit fallen trees or other debris. My question is: with the lineside tree-felling programme well underway (the effects are...

Out of interest, is there any journey where the only Travelcard on offer is an Anytime one, and there is no Off-Peak Day Travelcard (ODT or any other ticket type)?

The £12.30 Super Off-Peak Single (PDS) is supposed to be valid on the 09.33 Uckfield to London Bridge train, but it is not showing as valid on Southern's website...

The fixed link (the bus) that runs from Southsea Hoverport to Portsmouth Harbour station and then on to Portsmouth & Southsea station seems to have been deleted from the data. Any idea why? This means it is impossible on any website (I tried GWR.com, SouthernRailway.com, National Rail) to get...

For a journey such as this: http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/GTW/LDS/151118/0700/dep NRE shows journeys that have a minimum of 21 minutes (rather than 31 minutes) for interchange between St Pancras and Kings Cross (or vice versa). The interchange time data is: STP - 15...

Doncaster to Barton on Humber has routeing points of Doncaster (of course) and Habrough. A journey via this route is around 49 miles. However, Doncaster to Barton on Humber via Hull (taking the bus from Hull to Barton on Humber - it's in the data for every day except Saturday, for some reason)...

On Saturday I travelled with some friends from Paddock Wood (PDW) to Ramsgate (RAM) to walk round the coast to Margate (MAR), then get the train back to Paddock Wood. Because of diversions it means changing at Ashford Int (AFK). I bought Off-Peak Day Returns (CDR) which have restriction code...

There are a number of Underground routes where National Rail tickets are valid without the need for a zonal fare or a cross-London marker. For instance, a Peterborough to London Terminals ticket is valid to Kings Cross, Moorgate, Old Street and St Pancras. And it is also valid on the...

I found this fare: http://www.brfares.com/#expert?orig=KTN&dest=GRY So far as I can see it's impossible to use. It's not cross-London. Maybe you should travel to St Pancras, then make your own way to Fenchurch St (and pay additionally if you get the tube to somewhere close by such as Liverpool...

Hi Anyone any idea why this routeing guide easement exists: "Customers travelling from Tunbridge Wells or High Brooms to Sevenoaks and beyond, and whom are in possession of tickets routed Any Permitted, may travel via Tonbridge. This easement applies in both directions." As this is the only...

On the Network Railcard website it says This is in contrast to the general minimum fare paragraph where it says: From this I thought that the Anytime Day Travelcard (ADT) minimum fare would be £18.10, even at weekends or on bank holidays. It seems not, though: a Potters Bar to Zones 1-6...

I was looking at these fares: http://www.brfares.com/#expert?orig=WIM&dest=0797 which are from Wimbledon to Zones U23 and cost £5.20 or £4.90 (depending on route) What journeys would they be best value on? Whenever I look at a journey wholly in Zones 2 and 3 (Wimbledon is in Zone 3), such as...

Journeys from Ashford International to Farringdon are quickest (by far) via HS1 and St Pancras, with a quick trip (hopefully) on Thameslink from St Pancras to Farringdon. According to the National Rail website: So I would assume that the Anytime Day Single route "Plus High Speed" (£37.50)...
