    Cambridge to Farringdon: why do TOCs sell me tickets to City Thameslink instead?

    Just curious why I haven't been able to buy a Cambridge to Farringdon ticket online, I am always issued with a Cambridge to City Thameslink ticket instead. I understand that Cambridge to City Thameslink is the same price across all singles/returns, so perhaps a Cambridge to Farringdon ticket...

    Historic Bus ID?

    Trying to place this photograph. Even a region or decade would help. Maybe Wales? Can anyone recognise anything about this bus? Or suggest who/where I might ask?

    Cambridge to Maidstone Stations

    I wish to be able to travel from Cambridge to Maidstone as a day return trip, leaving before 0830. My preferred route is via St Pancras and Strood to Maidstone West. However I want the option on the day of going via Victoria to Maidstone East or returning that way (for example if there are...

    London Terminals to Oxford query

    I want to go from Liverpool Street to Oxford. Can I use a London Terminals to Oxford Ticket on the tube between LST and PAD or must I buy a London Underground Zone 1 to Oxford ticket? What confuses me is that BR Fares suggest the Terminals ticket but the Southern website says both tickets are...

    Refund in advance due to tube strike

    I have an off-peak return from Cambridge to Heathrow (purchased online from Virgin East Coast) for travel on the day of the next tube strike in August. Having seen pictures of the queues for taxis in the last tube strike, I don't see any way of reliably completing the journey and so would like...

    Paddington -> Cambridge

    So I am looking to travel Paddington to Cambridge via the H&C line to KingsX in the early morning. The NR website gives me an Anytime Day Single for £25, whereas brfares.com seems to think a London Terminals -> Cambridge ticket for £22 can be used on this route? What is the ticket that the...

    Buying Day Travelcards in Advance

    I tried to buy some Day Travelcards for travel next month from Cambridge today and was told that unlike normal NR tickets, these are normally only sold for dates up to a week in advance. Is this a condition of the ticket or was it just some TOC sales guidance or something?

    The most lenience you've experienced from rail staff with your erroneous ticketing?

    Once when I was an partying-hard teenager, I returned from Nottingham to Bath Spa on a Sunday morning, with a ticket but no money at all. After Birmingham New Street I fell asleep, missed Bristol and was woken by the guard just before Taunton. He accepted my mistake and told me to get off at...

    Changing at intermediate stations and seperate vs through tickets

    Back in the late 1980s my father who was very fastidious and law abiding got a big telling off from a train guard for the following, which I still occasionally wonder about to this day. He bought returns (for me and him with a family rail card, I was about 10 years old) from Bath Spa to...
