    Changing Off Peak Ticket - return worthless !!

    I was planning to return EUS - CRE today off peak using the return part of an Off Peak Return ticket. However things finished earlier than planned, so went to EUS ticket office to change my ticket to a Peak train. To my surprise I was told it would be cheaper to buy a new Single (with...

    Overshoot at MKC - 9th May

    The 16:15 Avanti to Liverpool Lime Street overshot Platform 6 at MKC today by at least three carriages - then took 25 mins to 'reverse'. Why not just only open the doors on the carriages which were against a Platform rather than delaying everyone for 25 minutes ?

    All Line Rover - Reservations

    Looking at getting a 7 day All Line Rover. What is the best way to do reservations as I'm likely to be using Avanti, LNER, GWR, Cross Country, etc... Do I have to contact them all individually ? (I was planning on buying the ticket online). Thanks

    Using an Advance Standard Premium as an Open Standard ticket

    On a couple of recent journeys I have noticed that some Advance Standard Premium Avanti fares have been just above the Open Standard fare. Ideally I would have liked to buy the SP but because I was only about 90% certain that I would make the specified train, I ended up buying the Open Standard...

    Moving to Standard Premium part way through journey .....

    Cost of Standard Premium is £25 from Crewe but only £15 from Stafford. With a ticket from Crewe and assuming the train stops at Stafford, if I move into SP from Stafford would I still be required to pay £25 (because my ticket is from Crewe) or only £15 as I moved into SP at Stafford ? Thanks

    Virgin Contact Centre - are they correct?

    I have an Advance Single from Chester to London. The only 'booked' portion however on the ticket is my seat from Crewe to London.

Any thoughts PS - you can...

    Anytime ticket - Virgin 1710 Euston to MK

    For some reason the 1710 service from Eus to MK doesn't come up when you search on the Virgin fares site. Is an Anytime ticket valid on this service even though it doesn't show as an option ? Thanks
