    Bristol - Cardiff Fare Enquiry

    When I try it, NRE behaves exactly as MrJeeves describes for journeys to Cardiff or Newport.

    National Routeing Guide update

    No; 701298 was the most recent one. As a result, gwr.com says there are "No tickets available" for the 10:06 departure on 13th April (link), whereas nre.co.uk doesn't show the bus at all. You could get something like a Guildford-Three Bridges ticket if you needed an itinerary.

    Getting TPE Mixing Desk to track with Top cashback or Quidco

    Do they? They say their only add-on fees are delivery fees for posting tickets. I don't think they're on any cashback sites, though, so they may not be the best value site for anything. I used to find Red Spotted Hanky the best to use to access the Mixing Desk interface as there was a button on...

    Birmingham-sittingbourne-ulverston

    I don't know how likely anyone is to complain about you starting a journey in Birmingham with a ticket from Ulverston, but staff would be within their rights to charge an excess to the cost of an anytime return (which would be an extra £190.70 with a railcard). Splitting tickets only appear to...

    National Routeing Guide update

    One thing I notice is that TfW have recently created a "TfW only via Heart of Wales Line" route code, and it's defined in the data as "must involve travel via Llandrindod" (rather than Llandovery, as used in the older route code). I don't know if adding Llandrindod to the data helps with this...

    Wigan to London - 6 to 8 times a month

    Yes, sorry, I meant "as many as 5". It would actually be 4 if you used a retailer who charge for refunds. 4 anytime returns only cost £1.20 less than the £1138, and retailers are allowed to charge £10 from the refund.

    Sorry. I've rearranged it to look more like the post I thought was there. Don't know how I did that. :oops:

    Wigan to London - 6 to 8 times a month

    The Wigan-Crewe flexi-season cost more than 7 anytime day returns, so they're only really worth it for 8 journeys within the 28 days. The Crewe-London one is better. It's priced so that 13 of them cost a little bit less than an annual season ticket, which means 1 costs less than 5 anytime...
