Hi, I am due to travel to Edinburgh a week today with my Mum and have e tickets on my phone. My Mum does not have a smart phone so is it okay to have both tickets on my phone or should I look to get printed copies of the tickets? I am not sure how this would work for getting through the...

Hi, Does anyone know a link to an old Intercity timetable - I would be particularly interested in the Midland Mainline sector. Thanks.

Hi, I am looking to attend the Charlton Athletic vs Nottingham Forest fixture next Wednesday night at Charlton and then get the last train back to Nottingham at 23:08 from St Pancras. My worry is getting delayed on the way to St Pancras and missing the last train and being stranded in London...

Hi, If I buy an off peak return from Nottingham to Reading going via London - if I were to use the return portion of the ticket on two separate days over a week apart would this be allowed? I do not think it would be but thought it would be worth asking.

I know the HSTs on the GWML and ECML are due to be withdrawn and replaced with brand new trains in the next year. Are there any plans to do the same on the MML? The Nottingham - London fast service surely warrants a better train?

Hi, I would like to book an advance single from Nottingham to Reading travelling with Cross Country. I would much prefer to change at Derby rather than Birmingham New Street but the search engine does not give this as an option. Is there a way to configure the search to allow this? Thanks, Kier

Did there used to be a direct service from Nottingham to Hereford in the days of Central Trains?

If you were to be caught without a valid ticket and gave false details just out of interest can they check and would you be likely be prosecuted? A friend of mine claimed he did this on the Underground. I would not do this myself, especially as I foolishly tried to talk my way out of...

I am traveling from Beeston to Blackburn on New Years Day. I am coming back on the same day with a 16-25 railcard. Leaving Beeston around 9am and leaving Blackburn around 6pm What options for splitting my ticket do I have to minimise fare? Thanks.

After coming to the conclusion some time ago that I simply do not enjoy alcohol or the effect it has on me, I have decided to become teetotal. This has been a good decision, it saves me money, no more hangovers and I do not miss it one iota and know I will never drink again. The only fly in...

I need to make an early morning trip, returning on the same day. The cheapest fare with a railcard is coming out at £24, splitting the ticket at Sheffield. Is there a cheaper way that I am missing? I used to make this trip via Grantham, but no cheap East Coast fares to be had, unfortunately :(...

These two picturesque towns in Derbyshire are a mere 21 miles apart and there is an hourly bus between the two taking 45 minutes There is no direct train link. However, you can still travel by train between them, the scenic way! Buxton-Stockport- Stoke on Trent - Derby - Matlock for a...

I just wondered what was people's thoughts on the old service on old stock compared to the new service on the voyagers? I think it is very mixed. I used the old cross country route extensively in my childhood, traveling from the East Midlands to Newcastle and going on holiday to the South...

On YouTube, the other day I saw a documentary on BR in the early 90s and that rail travellers on the Norwich-Liverpool Street line were suing BR for the appalling level of service run by old rolling stock and frequent delays. Did anything ever come of this? It also said that Intercity...

I need to go on a weekday (offpeak) and £32 with a railcard seems a tad steep. I cannot seem to get any splits so any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was just wondering why it happened and why it was such a failure? I used to use XC services regularly in the 90s all across the network and never had a problem with them. I loath XC services now, I breathed a huge sigh of relief yesterday when I saw it was a HST instead of a voyager. Why...

According to the wikipedia page, Virgin XC had class 158's. Is this true? If so what routes did they run and were they ever in Virgin livery?

For or against? I am very much against, there is so much choice now that many (if not the majority) could happily live without the BBC's offerings. Making us pay for something we may not watch is wrong. If you like the BBC and enjoy their shows, fair enough. But you should be willing to...

For a public sector company they are outrageous. Going from Leeds to London is ridiculously overpriced. The private sector operators have a duty to their shareholders to maximise returns, but profiteering by EC on the government's behalf is disgusting.

Why is there only one train an hour? Every other major city (some considerably smaller than Liverpool) have at least two. Leicester has four!
