I recall coming across a photo a few years ago of a Stagecoach single decker bus, I think it was an Alexander Dash bodied dart, with an unusual interior of chapman seats in NSE blue blaze moquette. IIRC it was in the SWT colour scheme, either as a rail replacement or as a feeder service from a...

Hi, This seems to be shrouded in secrecy as to how it works, but if I have an AP for the 1716 CDF-SHR in standard class, can I upgrade in advance to business class for the £15 supplement at a ticket office, or do I have to wait until on the day on the train, or is the upgrade not valid on an...

I've recently tried to buy these tickets and notice that only 2 routes are available, Via Penistone and Via Leeds. I understand these tickets were altered from route Any permitted sometime last year to close a loophole where they were valid via Leeds but cheaper than the...

I'm trying to book advances for Stalybridge-Bangor out on 1st May, back on 4th May. I can book advances Stalybridge-Llandudno Jn or Stalybridge-Holyhead, but not for my journey. Usually if they are sold out the fares appear in webtis but are greyed out. I rang ATW regarding this (they are...

Hi, Does anyone have a copy of the LM 153 diagrams since the TT change in December please? I understand the daily number out in service increased, and there is now one on Birmingham-Shrewsbury services as well as on the snow hill lines. I'm hoping to catch 153375 on Friday, so any help...

When I log in, it works but I get Invalid Redirect URL (http://railforums.co.uk/) Is anyone else getting this error? Sorry if I've posted it in the wrong place, but I can't see where best to put it or anything about it. Thanks

I'm thinking of doing a Great Escape to try and catch my last few 153's. Does anyone have the current weekday and weekend diagrams of these please? AFAIK there is one on Rugeleys, one on Coventry-Nuneaton, one on Bedford-Bletchley and one on the Snow Hill lines. Does anyone know what times...

Before I go any further I am aware of the trick to bring the cost of this journey down :wink: but I am intrigued as to why it is so expensive. The cheapest return available at all times is a £34.80 off peak, for a journey of 71m76c each way. There are no cheap day returns or anytime day...

The other day I tried to buy a weekly Metrocard to start on a Thursday on a Tuesday evening, as I was unsure whether I would be able to on the Wednesday due to time constraints. I was told that they would only be able to issue it after 12pm the day before the start date, to which I was confused...

Hi, I'm looking to see if I can get an open return for the above journey to less than the £18.60 straight through ticket price each. It would be 2 people going out this Saturday 7th May, returning Sunday 8th May. I've tried splitting at Barnsley, Denby Dale, Penistone, Manchester...

Hi, I think I'm finally going to bite the bullet and get an oyster card. I've had a look on MikeWh's site first before asking (excellent site by the way), so there are just a couple of things I'd like to check: 1)I'm sure a few weeks ago I read as part of a thread on here that you can buy...

Last week I did a freedom of South Wales 4 in 8. I bought my rover at Manchester Piccadilly (having tried twice unsuccessfully at Huddersfield and on the train to Manchester :roll:). I bought my ticket at 0926, and had a train to catch at 0930 (was on AP), so couldn't have returned it then...

Hi, I was just wondering if someone could tell me the valid route(s) for a Worcester-Bristol TM Cheap Day Rtn please? Specifically, is it valid via Hereford as well as Gloucester? Thanks

Looking at going on a North Wales Rover on Saturday and splitting fares at Warrington to save a couple of pounds on a Lancaster-Chester through ticket £15.65 vs £19.85. In the evening connections are a bit poor and NRE advises me to go back via Crewe and pick up a train to Preston there. This...

I've been told that a Barnsley-Doncaster return is valid via Wakefield-is this correct? Also will it be valid tomorrow with East Coast diverting via Leeds? I ask as I would like to go on the Penistone line tomorrow and also cover the diverts, and this would allow me to out one way and back...
