I have an Annual season ticket/Gold Card to Worthing, but I always select Brighton as the origin station instead of Hove as it is the same fare and gives greater flexibility. More importantly, with the Gold Card I buy an Annual B&H PLUSBUS. Bizarrely, this is only just over half the price of...

Ah, a service I use very frequently - either to make a connection at Brighton (usually into a northbound Thameslink) or just to nip into Brighton, generally for a boozing session at the Evening Star, like tonight :D In normal times, when the Brighton-bound shuttle is waiting on the platform and...

Yes, that's true: the Wightlink-specifying one only appears on certain tickets - I believe anything for which the route would otherwise be "Any Permitted" (e.g. Hove-Ryde Esplanade).

The boundary is just about on the southeast side of the bridge, so sadly this one (which I travelled on for the first time a couple of weeks ago, incidentally) just sneaks into Kingston briefly.

New design tickets show Valid by any permitted route&Wightlink and Valid via the Hovertravel service respectively for walk-up fares. I also have Valid on specified services&Wightlink and Valid specified services & Hovertravel in my collection, both on Advance tickets.

Could we have an option for Annual Gold Card please? I have one, both for commuting and for its Network Railcard-like benefits.

Over in Vienna, you can travel from the airport to the city centre on a CAT (City Airport Train) for €12 single in 16-17 minutes, or on an ÖBB Railjet for about €4 (I'm sure it was under €4 last time I was there, actually!) in … 15-16 minutes. Different destinations in the city centre...

I've just contacted our Publications Secretary to find out what the procedure is, then I'll drop you a private message on here :smile: (probably after I get back from the supermarket!)

The only 1980s London<>Woking ticket I have in my collection is a 1989 single from London Waterloo, which was £1.95 for a Child (so £3.90 Adult and roughly £2.60 with a Railcard).

Apologies for resurrecting an oldish thread during my browsing today, but The Transport Ticket Society (of which I am a member - unashamed "plug" :D) has published an in-depth three-part publication on INTIS: history, technical specifications, ticket stock, issuing locations etc. It can be...

My old home village of Hassocks is a railhead for the decent-sized villages of Hurstpierpoint (note spelling!) and Ditchling, which both generate plenty of commuter and tourist traffic. Back in Connex South Central days, a big new sign - perhaps the modern-day equivalent of a running-in-board...

Interesting. Thanks for checking. The map in the leaflet shows Crewe-Acton Bridge-Warrington, but I did think it looked dubious. (Apparently when the tickets were launched in their original form in 1989, all the publicity material had to be scrapped because of differences between the map and...

Evening all, I'm doing some research into the North West Day Ranger ticket of the early/mid-1990s. I found a scan of a leaflet from 1990 which indicates the ticket was not valid on direct InterCity services between Crewe, Warrington BQ and Wigan NW, but could be used between Crewe and...

I should add that the trial was deemed successful; and w.e.f. 30th January 1989, the scheme was extended as follows: Edinburgh Waverley/Haymarket/Dunbar to London Kings Cross (and to London Euston and Milton Keynes Central from Edinburgh or Haymarket) @ £39.00...

Here we go ... from BR Sales Circular 59, week ending 3rd October 1987: LONDON APEX FROM GLASGOW "InterCity will be introducing an experimental APEX return ticket for £35 from Glasgow to London on 4 October 1987. Like an airline "Advanced Purchase Excursion", APEX is a specially low fare for...

I've looked through my ticket collection and found the "Apex Tickets" box (!). The earliest dated "APEX RETURN" on the special APTIS stock (batch code BR No. 4599/47, with room for seat reservation details on the back) is dated 30th November 1989 for a Truro-London journey. By 1993, ticket...

The unit was working the 1629 Portsmouth Harbour-Brighton today.

Interesting designs. I have been following the "new layout" fun and games avidly since 2014, and I could probably illustrate over a hundred examples of flawed design, errors and other daft things just from my own collection. I will send a link to the blog to various colleagues in the...

I'd be delighted to give them a good home. APTIS and SPORTIS are my specialist area. I will send you a message.

A few places mentioned above used to have station groups in the BR era. Burnley (NLC 0427): January 1985 to May 1994. Burnley Barracks, Burnley Central, Burnley Barracks, Burnley Manchester Road and (until October 1988) Rose Grove. Blackpool (0426): January 1985 to May 1994. Blackpool...
