Another easement was published this afternoon. Changes from 26 Feb 2020 (297) to 03 Mar 2020 (298). Easement changes: Added: 700906 (Map) Due to engineering diversions on Sundays from 10 to 31 May 2020, Cross Country trains will be diverted between Leeds and Swinton. This map easement will...

There could be some differences in what you can do with a fares with route 00000 and one with the same origin and destination but with route 01000, because of the way the routeing guide deals with the "fare check", and due to "easements" which specify a route code. Most of the time there is...

The other side to this is the fact that Oxford-Bromsgrove tickets are quite a bit cheaper than Oxford-Barnt Green or Banbury-Bromsgrove ones (either of which is valid via Birmingham). I suppose they could create "via Birmingham" tickets for Oxford-Bromsgrove, but they'd also be more expensive...

Another easement was added to the routeing guide this afternoon Changes from 21 Feb 2020 (296) to 26 Feb 2020 (297). Easement changes: Added: 700905 (Local) Customers from Ashchurch for Tewkesbury travelling to Worcestershire Parkway may travel via Cheltenham Spa. This local easement applies...

Ken Skates also needs the Welsh Government to be in control of all the levers necessary to deliver a fully integrated transport system. I don't think any of the things he said they will actually do (in relation to North Wales, anyway) are new.

Easement 20004 was in the routeing guide published on 20/12/2013. It read: Passengers for Exeter, Newton Abbot and Totnes are permitted to alight from the sleeper at Plymouth and double back to their destination in the morning. It wasn't in the next version I've seen (which was published on...

Two more easement changes were published yesterday: Changes from 19 Feb 2020 (295) to 21 Feb 2020 (296). Easement changes: Added: 700904 (Fare route) Due to engineering works on 22 and 29 March 2020 and the replacement of services with rail replacement buses, there will be fast bus services...

There's a spreadsheet giving how many people are believed to use each station on the ORR web site. I don't think the number of trains which visit each station over a time period is calculated by anyone, but you can work it out from data made available to the public. The stations which have most...

Two singles are probably cheaper in that case, as return tickets aren't especially cheap on that route in comparison to single ones.

A return to Aylesbury Vale would be valid via High Wycombe, so that's one option if both journeys are on the same day. I can't compare prices without knowing roughly when you intend to make each journey, though.

You also need to obey the restrictions for super off peak travelcards in general, of course. On these, NRE says: If that's 5:31, it's 5:31.

I think what may be happening is that NRE's front end is sending a request to their back end. It then waits a bit, and redirects you to that web page if it doesn't find anything. By the way, a family or two together railcard would save £13.40 on the journey just to Oxford. It's only worth it if...

A new easement was added to the routeing guide this afternoon. Changes from 12 Feb 2020 (294) to 19 Feb 2020 (295). Easement changes: Added: 700903 (Circuitous Route) Customers travelling to London Terminals from Tilbury Town and Tilbury Riverside may not use ferry connections and travel via...

Route restrictions can both add and remove permitted routes, of course, so I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect there to be a flexible ticket which covers every route an advance ticket can be sold for. For instance, Stockport-Cambridge has "Peterborough & LNER" advance tickets which lets you...

As it happens, Crosscountry are running a few trains on Sunday which call at Burton-on-Trent and Lichfield City. I think the line through Water Orton is closed, meaning their normal route via Tamworth isn't available. The trains stop in Lichfield to meet a rail replacement bus to Tamworth. I...

Sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what you are disagreeing with here. There are a few LNR trains on a Sunday which are scheduled to call at Nuneaton and Northampton, and Avanti trains which should go that way without stopping at Northampton. NRE does not give say that a through ticket is valid...

That is, I think, why it doesn't give you any options for trains which go via Northampton. Luckily, there are a few trains to Nuneaton which go the other way.

There are a couple of ways I can take this question. 1. What prevents Stockport-Cambridge from being valid via Doncaster and Stevenage? The valid routes you see for a "not via London" ticket will generally be based on one of the map combinations which are available for a Stockport-Cambridge...

I have a copy of the restrictions from the May-September 2019 period, for what it's worth. It gives the Christmas week restrictions as "Mon, Thu & Fri 24/12-31/12", which means peak restrictions applied on 26/12, 27/12 & 30/12. I'd want to check with Merseyrail or Merseytravel whether these...

Some more easement changes were published this afternoon. Changes from 03 Feb 2020 (293) to 12 Feb 2020 (294). Easement changes: Removed: 700899 (Routeing Point) Customer travelling from Redhill to Northumberland Park, Meridian Water, Ponders End, Brimsdown Enfield Lock and Waltham Cross may...
