I attempted to travel into London this evening from Leighton Buzzard. I purchased an MKC - Euston travelcard from the ticket machine as I was potentially going back to Milton Keynes later that evening. I stood on the platform for a while, and the previous train was still there, and an Avanti sat...

My sister is coming to visit later today along with my 10 year-old niece. My sister holds a Network Railcard. They are travelling to Leighton Buzzard. Since my sister will be returning to London alone later, she bought an Off Peak Return with Network Railcard for herself at £15.30, then...

Currently the last weekday semi-fast LNR service out of Euston is the 2150 to Birmingham. After this, every LNR train stops pretty much everywhere, which makes it incredibly slow to get to busy further-out stations like Leighton Buzzard, Bletchley and Northampton. Also these late evening trains...

I'll start this by saying I've contacted TfL about this issue, but I was interested to see what people here thought. Yesterday I travelled from Leighton Buzzard to Euston, where I then got the Victoria line to Walthamstow Central. I used contactless payment, tapping in at LBZ, tapping out at...

Wasn't quite sure how to describe this, but here goes: Next week (Tuesday) I need to travel from Leighton Buzzard to London around lunchtime, travel around in London for a bit, then get a train to Northampton at around 5pm, then a train from Northampton back to Leighton Buzzard later that...

I regularly travel to Shepherd's Bush overground station using a paper Travelcard from my local station. Unless I bought it from the ticket office (those ones seem to work fine), the barriers always come up with "Seek Assistance" and I have to find a member of staff to let me through manually...

My parents had advance singles booked for the 1006 Kings Cross - Lincoln today, which we noticed was cancelled, thankfully before they left home. The next direct service is the 1206. However the LNER website suggests taking an alternative service to Newark and changing for road transport, which...

I need to travel from London (Victoria, though it doesn't matter other than today) to Gatwick Airport today (luckily one of the few journeys where there's a service running), returning on Monday evening and I'm trying to understand the various fares available. I have a Network railcard, and the...

Last weekend I went to visit my sister in London, and as usual I purchased a day travelcard as part of my train ticket from Leighton Buzzard. That evening, I arrived at Walthamstow Central (Overground entrance) and the closed barriers wouldn't accept my travelcard for some reason (I didn't catch...

My parents travelled up from London to visit family in Huntingdon at the weekend, but due to the weather and a few other factors weren't sure when they'd return, so had only bought single tickets. Looking to return today they found tickets were 50% more expensive at £30.20 for the Anytime...

This weekend I was meant to be travelling to Cardiff to spend some time with a friend, so I booked a couple of First Class advances from Paddington to Cardiff Central. Unfortunately my friend has fallen ill so we've had to postpone. I discovered that while advance tickets are non-refundable I...

On Saturday (20/05) I need to travel from London to Horsham, where I'll be spending the night. The following morning I'll be heading to Gatwick Airport for a week's holiday, returning Sunday (28/05) to head back to London. Question is, could I just get a return ticket from London to Horsham...

I've always previously been able to select my Gold Card discount on Virgin's ticket machines at Euston, but yesterday afternoon while trying to buy a ticket to Northampton, the machine listed almost every other type of railcard but that. When I queried it with a member of staff, he told me "oh...

I boarded the DLR at Prince Regent on Sunday, travelling back towards my local station at Bow Church. I touched in on the Oyster reader with my Oyster card, which contains both an annual zone 1-2 travelcard and plenty of PAYG credit (it's on auto-topup). When the PSA came round for his ticket...

I'm travelling up from London to Milton Keynes tomorrow lunchtime. That afternoon/evening I'll be going back to London, but either from Milton Keynes or Northampton (I don't yet know which). Ideally I'd like to be able to leave that option open, so was wondering what the best combination of...

Something that's been puzzling me for a while: how can Oyster cope with Travelcard journeys where you start in zone, but go out of zone then come back in again? Simple example (assume I'm a causal traveller/visitor who's basically grasped that you touch in at the start and touch in at the end...

On my way home from work (around 6.15pm) I was sat on an Eastbound Central Line train, which sat in the platform at Marble Arch for around 15 minutes due to what was initially announced as a passenger alarm, and then a signalling problem at Tottenham Court Road. Throughout this, there were...

Hi, I hold an annual Zone 1-2 travelcard. My commute involves both London Underground and London Overground services, so over the course of the year I've accumulated several refund vouchers from delays. The LU ones are in the form of TfL vouchers, the Overground ones are National Rail vouchers...
