Well I've missed my end of month target, finishing July on 4175mi77ch for the year. Still on track for 10k by 2018 with a large number of football away days planned.

If you haven't managed to catch the 1400, on the 1500 present all tickets (including the off-peak ticket) and if questioned, explain that your train into Bristol was late, the TM should accept it.

It's not cheaper? A DIS railcard discounted CDS GLC-PRE is £26.85, a CDS from Dalmuir is not available, the SOS is £43.90. The SVH fare you have quoted is only available as part of a return journey.

Due to some works on the North TPE route the Manchester Airport (MIA)-Newcastle (NCL) services are running via Doncaster (DON) in the path of the Manchester-Cleethorpes (CLE) with a separate Doncaster-Cleethorpes service running instead. Thoughout the day there is a 4 minute connection eastbound...

I imagine neither VT or TPE have any wish to claim ownership of the flow either, as then they'd lose out on the revenue from their TOC-specific fares! I guess XC pricing the fare is an after-effect of them running the Manchester-Scotland services years ago.

Hi all, I'm looking for the best* possible flexible fare (or combination of fares) for a journey from Leyland to Sunderland. Routeing is unimportant however we have a preference for trains with WiFi and tables. 1 adult and 1 child with a family railcard. Arriving at roughly 1.30pm, departing...

Slightly OT, but I'd hope the sale of PNR-CAR Any Permitted singles would be low anyway, seen as the 2 operators serving that flow have their own specific fares.

The problem at a lot of places is that the centre island platform has a slow line on one side and a fast line on another (Leyland being an example of this). It could be done (P3/4 at LEY are rarely used) however. The main issue is, as has already been mentioned, the mental health system isn't...

Ah, it read as if TimboM meant it was 2 tracks though Leyland. Leyland also has platforms on the fast lines, something that seems to be a rarity these days (nearby Euxton Balshaw Lane doesn't).

It's 4 track through Leyland. Platforms 3 and 4 on the fast lines.

According to Virgin Trains Twitter, all lines have now re-opened.

2B92 1556 Blackpool North to Buxton looks to be involved. EDIT: My mistake; had seen this on platform 4 for just over 2 hours and arrived the same time the Virgin service referred to below passed on the platform next to p4.

I've been informed someone has been hit by a train at Leyland. Commiserations to the family and the driver involved. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Advance returns don't exist. Advance fares have been single fares for a while now. That looks like the Southeastern promotional fare, the restrictions of which can be found on their website (or in a recent post in the "Special Offers Discussion" thread). If you have bought a ticket in...

Even better, we could just get rid of TOCs! Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

That's a Leeds United style bottle job :lol: I believe Wigan beat Leeds 34-0 tonight.

And I'd hesitate to say that maybe an adults only coach would have an increased level of foul language as there would be no children around. If there's any designations to be had on trains its First and Standard. Anything else just complicates things and can easily become unenforceable. Sent...

The point being that I do wear clothing similar to a typical 'chav' sometimes :lol:

I have had this *so many* times! Quite often when I'm out on my trips I'm wearing trackies and a Nike/Adidas branded jacket; which probably doesn't help certain people's attitudes towards me. It's really quite amusing when some snobby old man looks down at you (and yes it usually is snobby old...
