Hi all, I am interested in this trip (https://www.railwaytouring.net/the-buxton-spa-express) mainly for the Hindlow quarry excursion. I would take a chance and either pick it up at Manchester Victoria or chase it to Buxton. Does anyone have any experience with paying on the day on RTC tours? Is...

Hi all, due to the recent (& ongoing) well documented shambles on the WCML, I was delayed by over 2 hours on both outbound and return journeys (using an off-peak return ticket) and duly submitted my delay replay claims to Avanti, however they have rejected the 2nd claim on the basis that I have...

Hi, I am intending to travel from Helsby to Coventry on an Anytime Return ticket (Route: Any Permitted) but can't get any online planner to give me a route via Warrington Bank Quay, however Warrington Group is listed as an associated routing point for Helsby in the "pink pages", so therefore...

BR fares states that for the SVR (£92.90): “NO ARR IN LDN EUS PRE 1000 M-F”, however the restriction is VK, which National Rail states not valid for trains to arrive “after 04:29 until 10:25”. I assume the latter is correct?

Hi, I have been looking for advanced tickets from either Warrington Bank Quay or Manchester to London for Sat 19th May, however there don't seem to be any available on any train that day, despite it being open for reservations and there being no planned engineering works. I contacted VT via...

Out of interest, can anyone tell me what a "W" next to the price field on a ticket stands for? e.g. £45.00W

Hi I'm wanting to travel from Glasgow (Queen Street) to Oban on a Saturday in early April. The pdf timetable (http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/files/WHL.web.pdf) on Scotrail's website shows a 1037, with SO (Saturdays Only) and A (From 27 March 2010) at head of the column. However, this train...

I notice that the train stop lights have been move back (i.e. North) by approximately 10m on some platforms (5/6 area from memory), meaning trains now stop c.20m from the buffers. Anyone know why this is and if it’s permanent?
