If a ticket is cheaper (say) London to Glasgow is cheaper - due to peak/restrictions/whatever; than London to Preston I've always assumed because it's a specific ticket between two station on one train, that would be not allowed to alight at Preston. That's is your ticket was inspected there, I...

Just bought myself a Portsmouth Harbour - Ryde Pier with the IOW Pride 20% discount. Had to put in departure times both out and return; the ticket is valid from mid-day. Can this ticket be used on ANY service or am I stuck with the times I chose? I've looked at the T/C's and it neither says I...

Yes, I know many of you suffer the trains and tube at this time of year, my sympathies! If I wasn't on an advance I would change it but there we are. Reminds me of one of the previous record days (Aug 10 2003, 35c+) when I did Manchester to London on Virgin and stayed in the Oxford Road youth...

I think I'm OK on this, but just need to ask - Brighton to London Bridge with travelcard add-on; I'm good for any other stations on Thameslink in London (eg St Pancras)? It will be a return trip on a Saturday - so keeps options open!

I have (thanks to this site's ticketing engine!) a split ticket Preston/Oxenholme/Carlisle; all on one Avanti train and it's advance. If the train is cancelled, do I have to get the next (or previous possibly) service which has to be Avanti; and does it have to call at Oxenholme to make the...

Mid-June for a day trip on a Saturday. Very disappointed and surprised the last train back to Cumbria/Lancashire is before 7pm, OK I can work around that by going earlier but I wonder why there isn't a later train for tourism? Never been to Edinburgh Waverley which I'm looking forward to...

Managed to convert my builder from leisure driving to catching the train. He complains about high fuel prices, parking charges at P+R's and the inconvenience of using the bus, plus continual delays on the roads caused by accidents etc. He managed to buy a 2-person railcard, and by using the...

I understand a first class weekend upgrade (bought on the train) is between £10 and £25 (single - how much would it be between Edinburgh and Carlisle (single)? I have senior railcard but that won't apply I presume? Thanks!

Already got a few lined up, Isle Of Wight 18/07 (still waiting for rail tickets to be available) staying the weekend in Portsmouth; and Edinburgh 20/06 where I'll base myself in Carlisle and travel up on the day. Later on Brighton, 01/07 probably via Hove to avoid the crush. A bit nearer home is...

In the past, on arrival passengers have had to board a coach and be taken to a gate between immigration and customs, as arrivals from the Channel Isles do not need immigration checks, but have to go through customs. However on Monday, on arrival, we went directly off the plane into the terminal...

Question for locals - Looking at a map, am I better going "back" to Eastleigh or going to Southampton Central; or change at St Denys? Price of ticket irrelevant! Basically to prevent having to load multiple searches into booking options!! Thanks!

No issues at all yesterday, everything on time! But I loved the fact that the train to Redcar started from Victoria so was empty and all seats available! I'd like to see more departing from Victoria and may consider the Northern ones in future even though they take 20' longer to Leeds.

Intend to go to Blackpool North (BPN) and my preferred route is the "fast" 1439 TPE Bolton (BON) to Preston (PRE), have a relaxing brew at Preston (and it's the first service when my bus arrives) then catch the next train to BPN. However when I put in Bolton - BPN in either this site's engine or...

Having booked (on this site!) Manchester to Brighton, it routed me via Victoria including a "free" tube ride between Euston and Victoria. Once I got the email I'm searching for the ticket to load onto my wallet; however there isn't one and I have to collect from a station. Presume any station...

Set off from home at 1015, bus and train to Picc for the 1133 Avanti to London, delayed at the station due to electrical fault (?) a few with ordinary tickets got off for the next train, meaning we were almost empty when we set off! Arrived Euston appx 25 mins late so cancelled tube to Vic and...

Quick question - at Bank I change from DLR to Northern; I would be using contactless so at any stage would I need to tap the pink reader at any stage, and if so where? Note I don't intend leaving any station. Thanks!!

*Not totally sure which section this should go in!! Mainly between Salford Quays and Victoria. Although there might be novelty value, if the proposal is from Victoria to the Quays/Media City via the Irwell and Ship canal it would have to be faster and more convenient that the tram - and to be...

The idea is Brighton to Thameslink station, have a wander round/food, then Thameslink to St Pancras by train to meet friends later in he afternoon, then in the evening return to Brighton - all off peak. Would the Brighton to St Pancras day return mean the extra leg is valid as a break of...

My 0003 train from Chorley to Bolton was cancelled when I looked earlier so all set to get the 2303. Now that's been cancelled but the 0003 reinstated - what are the chances of that turning up? Can anyone reassure me that the 0003 will turn up? Trying to follow on real-time but this is...

Just a little "heads-up"; if I travel from Bolton to London change at Piccadilly; I use my senior bus/rail pass for the Bolton - Manchester leg, which means that I arrive at platform 13/14 and can go via the overbridge to my London train usually on 5 or 6. That means my Avanti ticket isn't...
