Good evening all. Slightly different to the other thread, but with some parallels. I booked a ticket via Trip.com from Dunfermline Queen Margaret to Guide Bridge. The journey was as follows; Monday 4th August. Dunfermline to Haymarkey (Scotrail) 1806 (arr 1840) Haymarket to Preston (Avanti)...

Good afternoon all. I hope this isn’t out of place, but does anyone know which platform Euston>Manchester 18:32 will leave from today? I’m just trying to avoid the “scramble”. Thank you in advance.

Hi all. I apologise if this isn’t the correct location for my query. I’m using the 10:35 Manchester to London service next Wednesday (14th August) but have a fair bit of luggage. Is there a set platform for this at Manchester, or does anyone know the inbound service it is formed from? I’m hoping...

Hi all. I’m getting both confused and concerned by various emails I’m getting from both Avanti and TPE. One seems to indicate but not actually say cancelled, the other that they don’t know. So we’re travelling up on the 10:26 Mcr>Edinburgh which is TPE and returning next day on 16:52 as far as...

We were booked on 13:53 Preston>Edinburgh today. The train was, as expected mad busy. We were told we had to get off (for safety reasons-“there needs to be a clear walk through the coaches”) and were told it we could get the next train. Our son couldn’t get off. 12 people did get off (I...

Hopefully this is the right place for this-apologies if not. Is there still a coach of unreserved seating on Virgin West Coast? My son has decided on a day in Lindon, leaving around 09:00 tomorrow and returning sometime around 20:00. As he only bought the ticket today, with an un specified...

Good morning. Please excuse my ignorance as to whether the Class 800 are even running yet, but I don't suppose they have diagrams on East Coast in the new timetable? I'm taking my son from Leeds to London on 5th July (10:15) and returning the next day (leaving Kings Cross at 15:03). Thank you...

Good evening. Due to a bereavement I will need to do the above journey at fairly short notice. It will be for my son and I, he has an 18-25 card (but if the savings were good I could invest in a two together, saving in future also). It would be off peak with a little uncertainty of the return...

Gentlemen/Ladies. I need to go to Bare Lane tomorrow, on checking tickets (following the Northern Rail introduction of peak times) on both the Trainline and Northern web sites it shows 08:48 departure and return from Bare at 17:47 having off peak returns valid. Is this correct, or do I need to...

Sorry for the brief query, but we have just seen Union of South Africa at Wigan. Does anyone know where this is going, or route details for both outward/return journeys?

Good evening chaps. I'm trying to sort tickets for travel to the Commonwealth Games in July. There are two adults and one child with a family railcard, travelling up early (flexible with the times) on 26th July returning next day after 18:00. The best I can find is £57 each way, are there any...

With this thread in mind http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=85541, can anyone advise if 6H14 Basford Hall>Guide bridge a regular trip? My son loves 70's (the loco, not the musical era so dear to my heart!) but has only seen a couple when the have whizzed past us while on another train.

I could do with a quick bit of help, if possible guys. As a treat for my son I'm booking first class tickets to London at the end of July, I found tickets for myself and my son for £57 on an early service. I just need to know what we would get for this? Looking at the website (Virgin) it shows...

Good evening gentlemen. Just a quick query; Would I be right thinking that to try to get the best prices for Manchester to London on Friday 26th July, returning next day this Friday is when they go on sale?

Good evening/morning chaps. I'm trying to book a couple of return tickets from Guide Bridge to Keighley and whilst the trainline will get me there via Piccadilly it will not let me book from GB. However, TPE will let me book from GB but all the trains offered are via Victoria. Firstly; can I...

Good evening all, I am popping to London this weekend just for the day. My son (13) doesn't have an Oyster card and we usually just get a Travelcard. He has asked for an Oyster, but our visits are generally short notice. Is it possible to buy one for him on the day? Thank you in advance for...

Gentlemen, I'm having to make a visit to York tomorrow, but am struggling with TPE and thetrainline websites as neither can give a fare from Guide Bridge. Sorry for the short notice, but what would be my best bet so far as fares go? 2 adults and one child, with a family railcard. We need to...

Hey chaps. As we are looking at enjoying the "Great Escape" this coming month, could anyone advise if there are unreserved seating coaches from Crewe to London? I don't mind standing, but I'd be happier if Mrs wijit and wijit junior had seats. Or can we reserve seats independently of the offer...

Good evening all. I've been reading a lot on here, and whilst I've never avoided buying a ticket and never would I may be inadvertently committing an offence. I regularly catch a train locally, the station is manned in the ticket office during most office hours and has no other means of buying...

Good evening. I'm hoping to take Mrs wijit to Bristol or Bath for a night out (we will also have wijit junior in tow!) but the best price on tickets seems to be in the region of £90. I say Bristol or Bath because we would visit both, and so it doesn't really matter if we are overnight in...
