Yes, or the other thing would be, as I emphasised that they left me stuck at Ellesmere Port, they probably just went "Ellesmere Port? That's a Merseyrail station, I'll pass it on to them."

I cannot believe this email I've just received. "Dear [my name], Thank you for contacting Northern. We have had a look at your correspondence, and we believe this falls under the responsibility of MerseyRail. We have forwarded your correspondence over to MerseyRail and we have asked that...

I would personally recommend CrossCountry. If you use TPE, I heard they have to send you an excess ticket in the post for some reason? Whereas if you use CrossCountry they just send you a new ticket collection code or e ticket. Their website says you can only change up to 18:00 day before...

Northern has tried it on with me for the same reason (hourly service but all trains arrived 1-2 minutes early). In a nutshell - journey was Ellesmere Port to Northwich on the evening of 25th July 2023 - Ellesmere Port to Helsby on the once per day evening train - Helsby to Chester - Chester to...

Nope, I got one of these but 25% off and contacted them on Twitter to clarify this, they said that once you've applied the discount that's it, it can't be used again.

I also did ask them how I could change my journey via Twitter and they said, "you can use it on the day before or after"... well, what if I want to go another day! Did you contact Northern themselves or their Trainline support? (trainline email ends in something like "trainsfares.com") Last...

Great to hear, on my last journey I had a heart attack for a few seconds because the TM got out his phone to scan my ticket - he must have been a manager or something. But he didn't say anything and continued checking other tickets. (I'm hoping it's not one of those things where they get your...

Oh, the one I booked was the 10:14 (from Crewe) on a Sunday. Maybe it's different on Sundays? Just checked RealTimeTrains and it's "Pathed as Diesel locomotive, trailing load 245 tonnes"

Just booked Crewe to Swansea direct for £20.45 in First Class. Coming back via the Heart of Wales line for £13.65. Amazing value! I just hope it's actually a 67+Mk4 on the day! It looks like the fares are available on any TOC website - I booked mine via Avanti - but do be aware that some...

I also used these tickets on Monday + Tuesday last week, staff were fine with it, I have a few more journeys coming up so I will report how they go.

34% off first class advance tickets Buying tickets on Caledonian Sleeper / ScotRail

They've had it on LNER for a while.

Speaking of LNER, they are offering 10% Perks Credit Cashback instead of the usual 2%, if you book via their app, for the next 6 weeks or so.

On the other hand, I asked for vouchers and they sent it by card!

Do you have to collect one token per week? Or, can you buy 2 papers at the same time, and use 1 token from each?

This isn't just Northwich. It has also happened at Sandbach and Holmes Chapel etc. It seems to be a Northern thing.

I don't think that's the reason. No trains at all from SPT have any sale advance allocation. Meanwhile, from NWI, every train has a sale ticket on it. I don't think many people would be making a one way journey on that route, and make all the tickets on every single train be sold out.

Anyone know why there are tickets on all trains from Northwich to Stockport, but none at all on Stockport to Northwich?

Yes, I think they've just removed it!
