Thanks for your interesting comment.

Interesting, thanks: What would happen, though, if my destination town didn't have any hotels (or vacant hotels)? What if I had work the next day and I absolutely must return home that night? About the taxi service, what would happen if it was a journey, say, from Mallaig to Glasgow: How much...

I think it can see from Beachy Head from Worthing, perhaps 25 to 30 miles away. Please can somebody confirm this.

I was just thinking what would happen in this scenario: I want to visit a town a long way away by train, but I must return the same day. I learn that if I leave early in the day, I can have two hours in the town I want to visit, and still return the same day. I buy either a day return ticket...

Until today, if I were to travel from Worcester to Alvechurch, I would buy a "Not via Birmingham" ticket and travel from Worcester to University, then cross onto the other platform at University and travel to Alvechurch. This was the only way to travel between the two stations, avoiding New...

Thanks for your helpful research

Thanks, I guessed they were both coming from Birmingham. Is there a point where, if the first train was late, it would have to wait somwhere along the line (possibly at Wolverhampton / Stafford?) and let the the second (Virgin Trains) service overtake it? Or, is it a certainty that...

Do they have to give me a hard copy if I ask at a manned station?

Thanks. Should railway staff know this fact? (As I say, I get the impression some don't). If they don't know this, do I simply say: "National Rail Conditions of Travel say it's allowed so I suggest you get your facts right"?

Thanks. Please can you tell me, where does it say you can use a combination of two or more tickets to make the one journey?

Thanks, I never knew about that. I doubt I'll be able to get hold of the tokens now, but it would have been cheap as I can get an advance purchase ticket from Worcester to Crewe for £9.50.

I've seen I can save at least £10 on a ticket from my home station to Glasgow if I book two advance purchase tickets, splitting the journey at Crewe. My train from Birmingham arrives at Crewe at 07.56. The train for Glasgow departs Crewe at 08.09. The minimum connection at Crewe is...

Meaning that I can commit to taking a specific train back in a range of times. I'll say I want two nights in Newcastle. It doesn't matter what time I leave on the day I return, as long as it's the cheapest possible price. I can Worcester leave any day between tomorrow and Wednesday next week.

I've seen an advance purchase ticket Worcester to Haydon Bridge for £26. Plus Haydon Bridge to Newcastle is £10. I know it takes quite a lot longer than going via Derby / Sheffield but I can't find any cheaper price. But even then, that makes it over £70 return, assuming I can get a similar...

I'm looking for the cheapest way of getting from Worcester to Newcastle by train. I'm on a limited budget and the price seems to be so expensive, even buying advance purchase tickets. I'm flexible and can go any time in the next week, but I would preferably like to start as early as possible...

Good idea!

I am not that young or fit. It would take me about 3 hours.

I thought about something similar: Get that train but I get off at Barnt Green. It's mostly downhill to Worcester from there.

Yes I need it. I think if they offered me a taxi home but minus the bike, then I'd seriously consider waiting 7 hours for the first train of the day in the morning back to Worcester. Far from ideal, I know. I don't think I'd want to bike 30 miles overnight. But otherwise I'd have to pay a huge...

I needed the bike because I have to travel to my nearest train station in Worcester. I can't drive and it's too far to walk. I got my first train of the day from Worcester Foregate Street station. I didn't want to lock my bike up there as I was returning to Worcester Shrub Hill station. Yes, I...
