    mTicket DelayRepay

    Can anybody offer some help please... the delay repay section of scotrail.com, and specifically mTickets, doesn't appear to offer this option. Either a collection ref, scan of a paper ticket, or a barcode is needed. TIA

    Trivia : Any station (on mainland GB) and requiring two changes to reach London.

    I may have asked this before but it would have been a number of years ago. I think Cardiff Bay, but are there any others.

    PAYG Contactless on Thameslink singles and returns

    Hopefully simple… Welwyn Garden City to Kings Cross… if I use Contactless will it charge two singles or one return (I’ll be doing a return trip and using same card)? Advice (not speculation please) welcome.

    10.03 from Paddington to ???

    Anybody know why the 10.03 London Paddington to Penzance changes destination to Newquay on the 7-9 August? It's in the booking system but no details on the GWR website. I ask as I wanted to catch the 16.15 from Penzance to London on 9th August but the entire timetable is messed up. Fortunately...

    Anytime not [appearing] meaning Anytime??

    I'm looking at Welwyn North to Gatwick in Jan for my mum (hence the Senior Railcard). I am offered an Anytime Return for £32.70 but suggests it can't be used on early morning return services. 09.19 is the first offered train. There is a second Anytime Return for £49.60 where earlier timed...

    Love this.... 1W16 today (16/2) King's Cross to Inverness

    Left King's Cross, 12 late on a tight 4h22m timing to Edinburgh. Lost more time and got as far back as 17 down by Huntington. It's just reached Edinburgh only 1 late. Very impressive.

    Over run a platform at Stevenage this morning? (25/01/2023)

    Did 1A09 (07.15 ex Leeds to Kings Cross) over run Stevenage this morning? RTT shows it passing Stevenage at 09.05, and OTT shows it stopped at the next block (is that what they're called?). It's now back in the platform, presumably having reversed. I hope it was a mistake and not an incident -...

    Stevenage to Newcastle routing/pricing question

    Can a return ticket be used from Stevenage to Newcastle travelling via Leeds on the outbound? If yes, how long can the 'break' be in Leeds? I understand (I think) that if I arrive in Leeds after the last train to Newcastle has left I can stay overnight and resume the next day. Can I stay longer...

    Approaching Finsbury Park on the Up...

    Most Thameslink services (9***) approaching Finsbury Park in the Up direction typically use the Up Fast until reaching the junction just past signal K392, switching to the Up Slow. My question relates to the approach speed which I think (from a lay person) is far too defensive/restrictive. I...
