Been researching prices for a journey I'm making tomorrow. Using the forum ticketing site on my laptop gave me a price some £19 cheaper than the same ticket on my smartphone. Double checked that I'd chosen the same journey parameters etc. so any ideas as to why the big difference?
Off to Greece for a few days. Railways are not the purpose of the visit but I will have a bit of a look at the local scene. How are things regarding photography? Is it accepted or are they touchy about it?
A friend of mine works as a care worker and one of his clients has a disabled railcard. This client has asked to be taken to the London transport museum and this will be done by train. Am I correct in telling him that the Royal card will give a discount on both his ticket and that of his client...
Just booked tickets on the website for a day trip to Doncaster. Like a muppet I’ve somehow chosen the wrong date for the return journey. Can this be exchanged or do I have to take the hit and pay for a new one on the correct date?
Can anyone explain why I was able to buy an off peak return to East Grinstead from Stevenage on Monday valid on the 09:01 but on a planned journey to Headcorn on Friday, I can't get an off peak return until the 09:47 departure?
Hi,
Booked tickets for two of us to travel MKC - MAN via the forum. Journey was yesterday and made up of advance singles with LNW MKC - CRE and back and off peak returns CRE - MAN on any train. Our booked train, the 19:13 CRE - MKC was cancelled and we had to travel on the 20:13 that arrived MKC...
Went to Tonbridge with the aim of catching 70000 "BRITANNIA" on its lunchex tour around Kent. Caught a couple of other moves too. On a day of almost unbroken sunshine, it goes without saying that the sun hid its face when 70000 passed through.

Hi,
Planning to chase steam around Kent and London on Tuesday. Will the return leg be valid via Clapham Jct and would I be able to leave the station there before recommencing my journey a while later? If not, could I break my journey at WAE and then buy a return ticket from WAT?
Edit : Found an...
A colleague of mine wishes to travel from Arlesey to Oxford Circus next Tuesday.
They don't really want the expense of a one day travel card, so what will be the cheapest option for them? They don’t have a debit/credit card, so can’t do contactless on TfL.
I'm planning to travel to Southampton on 28th December. The forum ticket site gives an itinerary from Arlesey that includes Blackfriars to Waterloo via LUL. Would the ticket also be valid via London Bridge and Waterloo East by National Rail?
Cracking day down at the Spa Valley with the Caledonian Railway's finest - plus a couple of resident locos. The ale on the train was pretty good too. :)

Scheduled for Castle Class 7029 but a last minute superheater problem saw D1755/47773 deputising. Seen here at Henley-in-Arden.

With heritage railways not reopening until April and May, I used my first day of "freedom" to venture off my home turf and point my camera at the modern railway scene.

I'm sure similar questions have been asked before but a search hasn't turned up anything.
Planning a day trip to Didcot from Letchworth the Sunday after next. Best price I can find is Travelcard to West Drayton and then off peak return to Didcot. For that combination of tickets to be valid, does...

Return run at Danzey - a pity it was a bit too warm for a decent exhaust.
