My wife and I hope to visit Bath during an upcoming stay in Cardiff. Looking at the forum's ticket site, I normally find a range of prices for fixed-time trains (I assume advance tickets) then a much higher range for flexible tickets. It looks like the prices are the same, see images .. or am...

I noticed today at Newcastle Station, there is straightforward access to platform 12 .. you don't even need to go through any barriers. Do any trains actually arrive here while carrying passengers ?

Living up in the North East, I have never had any reason to use GWR, but an upcoming trip for my wife and me to Cardiff made me take note. Due to engineering works, our planned Sunday route via Manchester wasn’t possible and I decided to avoid XCountry. The best new option was via London, then...

My wife and I are considering travelling from Newcastle to Leeds on Sunday 14th September and would ideally travel with TPE. However, I see this morning there is a very cheap XCountry service, leaving Newcastle at 09:35, for only £26.99, which seems a bit of a bargain. There is though, a...

A friend and I are thinking about trying out the Northumberland line, from Newcastle to Ashington. We both have senior railcards, as well as free bus passes. It seems that for two return tickets .. Newcastle to Ashington, the price would be £6.80 Surprisingly though, if we travelled from The...
