    A query about an advance purchase ticket, combined with a Saveaway ticket

The advance ticket to either Lime Street or Mossley Hill is the same price. I was thinking in this snenario I had maybe had...

    A query about an advance purchase ticket, combined with a Saveaway ticket

    This is just a thought experiment... I'm just curious. What would happen if... I buy an advance purchase ticket from Birmingham to Liverpool Lime Street. Also, I buy a Merseyrail Saveaway ticket, valid for that day. On the journey, I decide it would be better for me to alight at Mossley Hill...

    Yesterday, I was travelling from Newport to Worcester, via Hereford. I was planning to have an hour in Hereford on the way back, by breaking my journey. When I arrived in Hereford, there was a training running to Worcester just a few minutes later. The next two were cancelled. So, I...

    Saving money by using non-obvious routes - is this legally / morally OK?

    What are the opinions, either morally or legally, for saving money by using valid (but not obvious) routes to get somewhere a lot cheaper? For example, for me to get to a well-known station, "X", it costs a certain amount. But If I buy a ticket to a certain other station where a valid (but...

    Transport for West Midlands - Cycle Hubs - card access

    I applied online to Transport for West Midlands, to get a card to access their Cycle Hub storage units, which they have at several of their railway stations. A month later, I received a pack through the post with details of the Cycle Hubs, along with a Swift card. I tried the card today to...

    Bikes on trains - do I have priority over somebody sat in the bike storage area?

    It happened yet again recently, this problem. I was travelling from Worcester to Birmingham. What should have been a 4 car train was reduced to a 2 car train, towards New Street, on a busy Saturday morning. The train was absolutely packed. When I boarded with my bike, three people were...
