I can't seem to find this ticket via booking engines for 1st November http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=SOT&dest=WCY&rte=00774&ldn=1&tkt=CDR Am I missing something obvious?

Is this ticket valid on buses from Piccadilly to Victoria as that appears to be the best route to transfer. I've never travelled from Victoria and would be happy to walk if it's dry but don't want to get soaked if it's raining.

I'm off to Saltaire and Bradford on Saturday. Key part of the day is Bradford City at 1715, so my train home will be 1936 or at worst 2004 from Bradford Interchange. I'm also planning to go to Salts FC in Saltaire, so I will catch a bus from Saltaire to Manningham (Bradford City) and a bus...

I'm looking to travel to Carshalton on 25th October and arrive at approx 11am, I'll then be making my way to Mitcham by taxi. At approx 5pm I'll be travelling back from Mitcham to Stoke on Trent. The cheapest I can find is a London Midland return from SOT to Euston for £38 and then use my...

Does anyone know what this service from Carnforth Steamtown to Lincoln is likely to be?

I'm off to Cwmbran on Saturday, I had planned to drive but was looking at the train alternative. I can leave at 0728 and arrive at 1115 via Crewe and return on 1814 getting back to Longton at 2125 again via Crewe. I have no railcard and the off peak return is £65.60. Can this be split to make...

I'm thinking of going to Colchester United's newish and no doubt mundane :wink: stadium on 22nd March. An advance 1st class return from Stoke is £83, however by making my way to Wolverhampton I can get a 2nd class advance return for £33 plus either an £8 advance return from SOT to...

I have a virgin day travel card from sot to eus for this Saturday. My plan is to buy an off peak return to Eastleigh subject to the football being played that day. My problem is my connecting train back from Eastleigh or Southampton Parkway involves an xc train toward York, which you will...

On 12th January I plan to use the above route.i will be splitting tickets Stoke to Stafford £6 Stafford to Leamington Spa £18.70 Leamington Spa to Banbury £7.50 Banbury to Reading not via London £11.20 All 2nd class off peak returns, can I buy just 1 weekend first upgrade as all legs...

Hi For this Saturday, need to arrive in Aldershot for 2pm ish and leaving at 5pm. I presume there is no sensible split for this journey as it is via London? 1 adult, no railcards (I'm prepared to stop at Milton Keynes for instance though and buy a network railcard if that's an option as I...

Hi I've usually only bought straight returns rather than a via option, so bear with me. I need to be in Portslade by 1230 tomorrow afternoon and then from there I will travel from Portslade to Falmer (to watch Brighton football) and then travel back to Solihull from Falmer (leaving...

I want to be in Berwick on 28th July by 2pm and will be leaving at around 530pm the same day. Usually to get to Newcastle it's best to split in Manchester and York, I'm presuming this will be the case for Berwick? I have no railcard and the standard off peak return is £103.10. Looking at...

I'm building an OO gauge layout and I'd like to run rolling stock that has used the Crewe to Derby line over time. I've got a current EMT class 153 and I know that before that Midland Mainline used 170s on the line. What was used before that? I'm looking at post-privatisation, BR days and LMS...

Does anyone know what hauling this special. 0920 from Crewe?

My father needs to be in Durham next Wednesday by the evening any time and he will return on Thursday at approximately 5pm. Usually splitting at Manchester and York I presume is the best but with a potential peak time train I'm not sure if this is still the case. He has no railcard but he is...

I would like to be in Bridgend by 130pm on Saturday and return after 5pm. National Rail planner, shows a route via Birmingham and Bristol going and via Crewe coming back. A return of £69. I have no railcard. My thought is going via Crewe both ways, so is there a sensible split on the ATW...

Hi I need to be in Irvine for around 1pm on Saturday, returning 430pm the same day. I've found some advance tickets for £77 return but just wondered if a split with regular tickets can be achieved for a similar price? I'm happy to start my journey in Crewe or Stafford if this helps with the...

I'm looking to use my new camera on some loco shots and as Norton Bridge gets a lot of traffic close to me can anyone recommend any good vantage points on or near that stretch?

I'm considering buying one of these even though I live in Stoke on Trent. I see from splitting journeys to the South East I can save quite a bit with one. Does anyone else who lives quite a way out of the area do this? Also, what is the logic that someone who regularly uses rail in a...

I saw a freight service passing Longton at 1449 today and have checked opentraintimes.com and there is no mention of it. Any ideas?
