Just as an aside, and apologies for veering off-topic, but I have a number of Apex Singles in my ticket collection, dating from between 1994 and 2005 and for journeys in various parts of the country.

I have been travelling on the 0826 Brighton–Ore fairly regularly for the last 4 months and on every occasion it has been a Gatwick Express unit. I usually get an ex-Seaford train coming home from Lewes, but on the rare occasions when I catch an ex-Eastbourne/Ore it has always been Gatwick...

I'm a subscriber to the British Newspapers Archive, and was inspired by this question to do a search for "replacement bus" across the whole of the archive. Already in the first few hits, I've found a couple of things which touch on points made above: "RAILWAY CLOSED TO PASSENGER TRAFFIC: The...

Indeed! The good old "A"-marker in evidence! Thank you all for the info - this has given me plenty to go on!

Hi all - can anybody help with info about the above? NB. Not the current Heart of Wessex Rover. I'm going through my collection of Rail Rovers at the moment, which include a series of "3-in-7" Wessex Rovers from various years between 1991 and 2004. The 1991 price was £22.00 for 3 days, and...

In my ticket collection I have a fairly recent Off-Peak Return from Manchester to Worle with an Excess coupon attached from Manchester to Wool. The friend who passed it to me said the person asked for a return to Wool but it was misheard as Worle! (Edited to correct this - I've just found the...

Indeed! Hopefully at least some sandwiches and a nice whisky or similar. Incidentally, I've just noticed the telling phrase at the top of p4: "Because of severe air competition these [Scottish] packages are heavily discounted and have enhanced facilities". BR had clearly recognised that by...

1691517965 Have a read through the attached to see if any of the information looks familiar. (Images taken from BR Sales Circular 22, 11–17 January 1987, available at the National Archives, Kew.)

There are two possibilities that come to mind from that era: - Travel Key (I think this was being wound down in 1987, though) - British Rail Executive Tickets I have scans of a more-or-less full run of BR Sales Circulars from number 1 (1986) onwards. Happy to dig through and have a look for...

Good find! I've dug through my 1972 and 1973 editions of the Transport Ticket Society Journal for news. We start with a report on pp21–23 of January 1972, reporting the trial scheme and its subsequent extension (as reflected on your leaflet): "SUPERSAVE. This facility, which has been...

Vielen Dank! I had missed that bit on the official website. Looking forward to my first post-pandemic trip back to Germany! 1691004412 Ah, but I'm after the physical ticket for my collection :lol: Looks like a decent service: every 20 mins. Last time I was in Munich I went the other way...

I haven't been able to figure out a definitive answer to this, so I will throw it open to the forum! I will be flying into Munich soon, and for reasons that are far too boring to mention :lol: I would like to travel into the city by first taking a bus (the 512, specifically) to Erding, then...

6094: NLC (National Location Code) 32: window number 15000032: machine number (strictly speaking only the last four digits: early TRIBUTE tickets like this had it prefixed with "1500". Other prefixes were seen on other types of ticket.) 21055: ticket serial number. 31MCH95 11.50: date and time...

I'm currently cataloguing my vast collection of ATB tickets, which is a small subset of my even vaster collection of modern British railway tickets. The earliest were issued in 1994 at certain (then) BR Intercity travel centres where the early version of the TRIBUTE system had been installed...

My starting word is "LATER", followed by "BISON" if the first guess has none of the letters from "LATER". I keep a spreadsheet of my scores and of related online word games (I know, I know...! :lol:) and it tells me that I have played 451 games so far, with no solutions in 1, 16 "2"s, 107 "3"s...

Many thanks - I'll keep an eye on the situation before my trip.

Is anybody aware at this stage of whether the cap will continue to apply on Transdev after 30th June, please? Apologies if I have missed an announcement here or elsewhere. I'm specifically thinking about a journey on the A2 Flyer route (Bradford-Harrogate). Many thanks.

Hi all, I'm seeking information about an APTIS ticket of which I have been sent a scan (attached): from Glasgow Central to TARBET VIA GOURK (i.e. Tarbet via Gourock) dated 2 August 1998. I'm trying to find out more details of this. I assume Tarbet refers to the Tarbet of "Arrochar & Tarbet"...

Excellent - this will be very useful! Couple of typos I've spotted: Malksham should be Melksham, and Tidsworth should be Tidworth. Local to me, route 100 (Burgess Hill–Horsham) could be included, as could route 2 ([Rottingdean–]Brighton–Steyning), if Steyning is considered big enough. Both...

My overriding interest is in tickets, ticket machines and fare collection methods, with occasional forays into associated things like ticket clippers (of which I have a surprisingly large collection!). On top of that: timetables, "routes" broadly considered, closures/openings (especially of the...
