    Doubling back through Meadowhall with a season ticket

    Hi, I commute between Penistone and Sheffield 3 days a week and use Flexi Seasons. As I sometimes travel beyond that (typically to Doncaster, and sometimes towards Huddersfield), and have found extending to certain other stations in South Yorkshire is the same price, I'd like to maximise the...

    Told I shouldn't have taken a later train after delay on split ticket

    Hi all I am considering making a complaint to Northern but wanted to make sure I'm in the right first. Yesterday I had two advance tickets, one for the 18:02 from St Pancras to Sheffield (EMR), then another for the 20:18 Sheffield to Barnsley (Northern). The reason for the two tickets is one...

    Cambridge to Derby via Stevenage

    Hi all. I'd look this up myself but don't have a computer available. Is anyone able to find out whether the return portion of a Derby to Cambridge not via London off peak return would be valid via Stevenage?

    Buying an over distance ticket on train

The only direct tickets available are SDR Anytime Day Return and SDS Anytime Day Single. So, in theory one would have to purchase a separate SDS each way...

    Bug on National Rail Enquiries

    The other day when I bought a couple of advance tickets for a trip later this month, I came across a bug on nationalrail.co.uk, which contributed to me purchasing a ticket for the wrong day. Obviously it is primarily my fault as I should have checked on the results page and the TOC booking page...

    Sheffield to Aberdeen

    Hi, I'm looking to travel from Sheffield to Aberdeen on Friday 2nd December and return on the 4th. I have a 16-25 railcard, and the best fares I'm currently getting are £84.40. Can it be done cheaper? Timing wise, I'm pretty flexible, although I'd like to arrive in Aberdeen by late afternoon...
