    Monday 8th May - SWR No Trains

    That's for the 7th May. The day in question here is Monday 8th May. Only engineering works at Teddington are mentioned on that page for 8th May.

    Monday 8th May - SWR No Trains

    As you can see here: http://timetablehistory.com/Station.aspx?StationID=1997&Date=08/05/2023 on 22 March SWR removed virtually every train to / from Waterloo for 8th May. It's now four days later, during which there have been no trains added back. Given that this is the Coronation Bank Holiday...

    Oldfield Park to Liverpool Stations - via London validity

    I don't know but it shouldn't matter. Your ticket is valid via Bath Spa.

    Oldfield Park to Liverpool Stations - via London validity

    Oldfield Park to Bootle Stations has no tickets that are routed via London. However, Freshford to Bootle Stations does have a "via London" Off-Peak Return for £136.70. I think this is valid via Bath (as well as Westbury), but have yet to check. If it is then you would also need a ticket from...

    Manors detour?

    The Apple Maps extract shows the Tyne Valley stations served by ScotRail, not Northern. Evidently they don't update their data that often either (given that Newcastle is still missing).

    Short journeys where advance fares are available

    Bradford Forster Square to Frizinghall is only 3 minutes yet has Advance fares. This sort of fares strategy is totally nuts and should not be allowed.

    Hidden gems in the South?

    The OP can get a Southampton to Hastings via Barnham Off-Peak Day Return for the same price (£19.30) as a Southampton to Arundel return. I don't think it's valid between Ford and Arundel, but that just requires a small extra ticket, whilst then giving the OP the chance to go to Brighton, Lewes...

    Manors detour?

    The 18.56 Morpeth to Carlisle does not call at Newcastle according to the timetable data: https://www.brtimes.com/!train?uid=Y40082&date=20230323 I expect it does in reality, and that this is a data error. Unless there is engineering work?

    Hidden gems in the South?

    If you like a coastal walk, then both Folkestone to Dover, and Dover to Walmer / Deal, are excellent. Great castles in Dover and Walmer (don't go to Deal castle!), and interesting towns / pubs in Folkestone / Deal (but not really in Dover, so start from there and end in one of the other two)...

    Missed last connection with Split Tickets (Priv/Oyster/Staff pass) during disruption

    The thing to be careful of at this time of the say is the gaps in Underground services - there may be a 7 minute gap if you are unlucky. See https://tfl.gov.uk/tube/stop/940GZZLUKSX/kings-cross-st-pancras-underground-station?lineId=circle,hammersmith-city,metropolitan (unfortunately this does...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Oh, I agree that the wording could be a little bit clearer. Although I do also think that there’s a lot of scrabbling around for loopholes going on here! I wrote the post in the first instance to answer the question that someone asked earlier though, in order to help them. Which I hope it has...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    It then lists the ticket types as Anytime, Off-Peak etc. but you have not included that information here. It does not list the Caledonian Sleeper Seating Single in that list. On the booking process it says: text on image says (my emphasis):

    Caledonian Sleeper

    To use a supplement on Caledonian Sleeper you need to have an Off-Peak or Anytime ticket (or Britrail or other pass), that is valid on all operators. A "Seated Single" valid only on Caledonian Sleeper doesn't pass this test and is not valid with a supplement to get access to a room. The ticket...
