    Best app for live departure times?

    I've always used the national rail app, but they changed it about a month ago and now it's awful. Currently using the GWR app but I think there is something better out there. If I exclude websites without apps (Real Time Trains, etc), then - What is the best app to use for easy, quick...

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

    If I speak to the guard, would he/she always back me up and side with me (if there were plenty of available seats for other people to sit in)?

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

    It's usually on a 45 to 60 minute journey. Not on trains that require a reservation. Usually TFW and WMR trains. There is always a bike symbol above the bike area, but it isn't actually stated that I have priority. I understand if the train is packed then that person has nowhere else to...

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

    This happens frequently... I arrive on the train, at the the only designated space on that train where I can store my bike. There are fold-down seats in the bike area, and somebody is sat there, so I am unable to put my bike there. There are other places that person can sit, the train...

    Advance purchase - how will train crew know I'm on the correct train?

    Collected them at Worcester FS. It does have a booking office but doubt I'll have the time to go there and sort it out. Either way, they always say the problem is nothing to do with them because they were purchased online.

    It is s day return. If it helps, I am taking my bike. From B to C is maybe ten miles. I could say I'm biking the last leg of the journey.

    Can't do my money-saving trick due to train strike?

    The usual, more obvious route to C is not possible at all, also. Additionally, there are no trains calling at that station tomorrow

    Can't do my money-saving trick due to train strike?

    I would like to travel from station A to station B, tomorrow. A return is around £40. What I always do is buy a ticket from station A to station C. A permitted route is to change at station B. I cut the journey short, never actually go to C, always alight at station B, and get the whole...

    Starting in Preston, I would like to visit Blackburn, Darwen and Westhoughton, and end up back in Preston, the same day. What is the cheapest way of doing this? Is there a day return from Preston to a certain station that would allow me to break my journey at those three places?

    Couldn't they get any of several per hour New Street - University trains for the first part of the journey, heading to Redditch / Bromsgrove / Hereford? (And then, of course, get the hourly stopping train from University - Cheltenham).
