    Cheapest Advance tickets for Avanti WC: EUS-LIV

    The OP is travelling on a Sunday so will need at least 18 minutes for the tube journey from Paddington to Euston - a total of 48 minutes. So they will need to arrive at Paddington by 07.00 for an 07.48 departure from Euston.

    Is it unreasonable for retailers or TOCs such as XC to charge for collecting tickets from machines?

    When we created eTickets in 2015/16, we wanted a name for them that was different from m-tickets. Airlines were already using "eTicket", "e-ticket" and a few other variants - and as these used the Apple pkpass format that was repurposed for use on rail, I wanted to stick with that. Many...

    Changing the return destination of an off peak return ticket

    Hello. It’s not valid to Crewe I’m afraid. The nearest places it is valid to are Stafford and stoke on Trent. You will need a single ticket from one of these places to Crewe. As you will have two tickets you will need to ensure that your trains stop at either Stafford or Stoke on Trent; you...

    Cambridge to Highbury & Islington "any permitted route" denied at Kings Cross

    You are correct (as are retailers to sell you this ticket for this route) and the staff who keep trying to deny you travel are incorrect. Whether they successfully open barriers or not does not indicate anything about the validity of your tickets by that route - barriers are locally...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I don't think that the Scottish Government has taken over Caledonian Sleeper with an aim of generating headlines such as "Scottish Government ends Caledonian Sleeper service".

    Advance offered on Raileasy but not EMR

    Adam is correct here - the Nottingham to Matlock service is reservable only from Derby to Matlock, and this should cause an Advance fare to not be offered for the itinerary the OP wants, as the Nottingham to Matlock service is not set up in RARS2 (the reservation system). The change of...

    Great Western ticket collection charge

    You were not charged for collecting tickets from a ticket vending machine - there is no method to do so. This is a charge for something else, such as buying train tickets, food or drink, or a currency conversion, for example.
