Thank you all - that must be it! I can see it now on the Stagecoach page. Good! Now to book some accommodation in case of train strikes...

Hi all, I'm looking at the timetable for Saturday 25th June for the Salisbury Reds route 87 - a fairly irregular Salisbury–Salisbury service via Pitton, Winterslow and various Wiltshire villages. As it stands today, the Salisbury Reds website is showing a PDF timetable valid from March 2022...

I have in my collection a recent travel ticket from Manchester to Worle, plus an accompanying Excess ticket to Wool. The passenger apparently wanted to go to Wool but the clerk misheard!

LNER Newcastle-London Kings Cross £19.80 Advance single secured for early evening on Monday 9th May. No joy with journeys to Newcastle on Thursday 5th, though. Still makes my trip cheaper than expected!

Thanks all; LNER live chat on Facebook replied very quickly, I must say, and confirmed no plans to reinstate but that the website would be updated if they are reinstated. Thanks for the social media suggestion - I hadn't thought of that! :oops:

Hi all, Possibly an unanswerable question...! I can see that the evening time restrictions on Super Off-Peak Returns with a 9D code have apparently been lifted "until further notice" on Fridays on departures from London Kings Cross and Stevenage. (Normally these tickets would be barred...

This is where collecting tickets helps ... I have a record to hand of every journey I took in 2000 :lol: First year at university (Warwick), so Coventry and Canley were my local stations, or Leamington Spa if I got the bus. Roughly in date order: a random trip to Nuneaton; a day trip to...

I've handed in dropped tickets, Railcards and indeed credit cards on several occasions. I recall a Brighton-Birmingham at Brighton on one occasion. Several times, an announcement has been made almost immediately over the loudspeakers requesting the holder of such-and-such ticket to present...

Thanks both. That's a shame ... back to Plan A via Manchester city centre!

That's an interesting possibility! Would Euston-Warrington-Todmorden be valid with a +VIA MANCHESTER ticket? I can't check the routeing guide at the moment. It seems like it should be, logically...

Thanks for confirming - it will be the walk for me!

Just a quick question please, to which I'm almost certain the answer is "No", but I'd better just check :) Is a ticket routed +VIA MANCHESTER valid on Metrolink in the City Zone? Specifically for a Hove-Todmorden ticket for use between Picc and Vic? Cheers!

Thanks for that info; that's very useful.

Re. Alistairlees' comment on dates: the earliest ticket in my collection showing an AP routeing is dated June 1993 (Stowmarket to Glasgow BR route AP BERWICK, for those interested!). Dare I say it, I've even got a handful routed AP ANY PERMITTED :lol:

Thanks all. Doncaster/Sheffield/Nottingham–Lincoln certainly seems plausible. A good point about the name: "Rover" usually indicated some sort of additional validity beyond rail (e.g. acceptance on certain buses) as opposed to Ranger. I have only ever seen OFFPK RANGR as a ticket type on...

Bit of a long shot given the passage of time, but does anybody have any info on a Day Ranger ticket called the Lincoln or Lincolnshire Poacher which was around in 1987? A ticket (illustrated) has come my way and I haven't been able to find out anything about it. It is an APTIS issue from...

Hale and Hayle … same pronunciation as well, as a bonus! (Over in Germany, there are stations called "Aha" and "Ahaus", which although two letters different are particularly bizarre names...!)

For a while now, Brighton and Hove Bus Company have been stating the percentage of "standard services" operating. Recently it has been edging upwards, from 80% to the oddly specific 84%, and now (since 30 August) 90%. I can't remember the earlier percentages. Regarding school buses, "We are...

During that period in the 2000s (and possibly 1990s) when East Coastway<>West Coastway services ran, I think the usual working was Seaford<>West Worthing (all stations), but a few certainly worked beyond there to Littlehampton/Portsmouth.

How bizarre! I had a look on Brfares.com, using High Wycombe-Ryde Esplanade, and according to the expert mode there is a whole swathe of stations just outside the London Zones to the west, north and east which don't have any walk-up fares! http://www.brfares.com/#expert?orig=HWY&dest=RYD I...
