Hello, I'm looking to travel from Blackhorse Road to Reading on a Saturday. On the way I need to break my journey at Surbiton and Bracknell and then possibly break at Maidenhead on the return (or just whizz back to Paddington). I already have a ticket that covers zones 1 to 6, plus a railcard...

Does anyone know if this ticket is still valid on buses and if so which ones? I've had a look at various websites and some say Stagecoach in South Wales, Rhondda busses operated by Thomas Coaches and all local Cardiff bus services (although I can't find that one now!). But the Arriva trains...

On Saturday, I made the journey from Blackhorse Road to Stepney Green changing at Tottenham Hale, Stratford and Mile End thus avoiding zone 1. As I had to tap out and back in at Tottenham Hale to change from the Victoria Line to National Rail and didn't tap out and in at Liverpool Street to...

If you don't think Northern's Customer service is up to much, here's your chance to do something about it. Or probably not. This email came from Northern about half an hour ago:

Apologies if this has been raised before or is in the wrong place! The Queensbury Tunnel Society have started a petition to stop Highways England’s Historical Railways Estate (HRE) from spending £3M on sealing off Queensbury tunnel (on the old Great Northern line between Bradford/Keighley and...

Does anyone know when the return part of the restriction code LW was changed from: Not valid on trains timed to depart London Terminals_after 16:49 until 19:01. (as on BRFARES.com) to: Not valid on trains timed to depart from London Terminals before 09:15 and after 16:49 and before 19:01...

The restriction code on this £18 ticket has the wording "Not valid for travel on London Midland services timed to DEPART the origin station on the ticket between 1630 and 1930 in either direction, except on the 1902 Crewe to Northampton service and on the 1846 Saturday service from...

Hello We're off to Belgium for a beer tasting tour in April and have the Saturday to do as we please so we thought we'd take the train to Luxembourg for a few hours. On the SNCB website, it's showing the fare as 33 Euros each way for both of us (seems cheap) but this is a Non-flex fare...

Just seen this on the BBC. Welsh FM Carwyn Jones makes a sarcastic tweet to Arriva and then gets a similar response which he calls "unprofessional". Seems like a case of pots and kettles to me. Of course, if he used the station regularly, he'd have noticed this years ago...

Hello Could someone please advise which non-loophole walk up fare would be best to travel from Gatwick to Victoria on 09/07 about 3pm. I'm totally confused by all the booking engines I've looked at. RSH says there's a Southern only anytime day single at £9.20 (£6.10 railcard) but only valid...

I've just noticed that the "Buy a ticket" option that used to appear when selecting "Timetables only" seems to have been removed from some on-line sites that use the mixing deck. This is bad news as it is now more difficult (not impossible) to force the sites to use some more "eclectic"...

I was recently at Paddington station on a Monday morning and I needed to buy 2 tickets for the journey I wished to make: a 3 day Thames Rover with Network Railcard discount and an Off Peak Day Return from Moreton in Marsh to Worcester stations so that I could complete the Cotswold line. The...

When I asked for the day off work, my boss for once showed some interest and asked where I was going. "Stranraer" I replied. "Stranraer," said he, "wear the fox hat!" Anyway, it was the middle of a heatwave so I decided dressing like Davy Crockett was not appropriate. Off to a bad start. My...

Am I correct in thinking that the above ticket can be used via either Edenbridge on the Southern services from London Bridge or via Orpington on the South Eastern services from Charing Cross/Waterloo E/London Bridge? And that it's OK to go out one route and return via the other? Cheers

I had to drive to Eton last week to pick up my daughter and due to light traffic on the M1/M25/M4, for Friday evening at any rate, I arrived early so had an hour and a half to kill. I’d looked around the town a couple of weeks earlier when dropping her off so thought I might have a beer but...

Quick question about the 3 Day Thames Rover. Although it's valid Mon-Fri from 0930 or when Cheap Day Return is valid (whichever is earlier) presumably if bought with a Network Railcard it's not actually valid until after 10am?

Using a Network railcard, I can get a weekday London - Reading Any Permitted off peak day return ticket for the £13 minimum fare. I know I can use this ticket from Waterloo via Staines or from Paddington via Slough. Am I right in thinking that I can start short at Richmond and catch the...

Just had an email from Southern to say they are introducing evening peak restrictions on the Downlander ticket to match those on the Daysave from 19/05/2013 (a mere two weeks since it was mentioned on this forum that there were no evening peak restrictions - hmmm). see section 4 of...

Another early start. Up at 0545 to head down the wooden hill from Bedfordshire, as my old grandmother (as opposed to my new grandmother, but that’s a very different story!) used to say, to jump in the car for the 30 minute drive along the tarmac road to Bedfordshire. It’s a cold morning and the...

My daughter is wanting to visit Thorpe Park and we're looking at the best ticket to get with her 16-25 railcard. I've looked on brfares.com http://www.brfares.com/#fares?orig=BHO&dest=SNS&rlc=YNG and can see a fare of £5 return with a route via Richmond or £7.90 route via London. Is the via...
