Looking at a return journey from Didcot Parkway to Twickenham on Saturday with 3 adults and 3 children. Network railcard held. Planning to go via Zone 1 due to the engineering works on SWR. I used the GWR site to try to get ticket prices and although it suggests travelcards, the Family...

This isn't a gripe about timings and the loss of morning off-peak tickets... I have routinely used an off-peak single (restriction J9) for afternoon/evening journeys from Paddington to Thames Valley stations (Pangbourne/Goring & Streatley). Restriction J9 has historically prevented the use of...

There's a lot of debate currently in West Berkshire about public transport. Prior to its run-down and closure in the early 60s, I'd be interested to find out what the public timetable was for services along this line in order to compare it with the now very limited bus service that only runs...

From Sky News https://news.sky.com/story/train-passengers-unable-to-buy-tickets-as-payment-machines-crash-11540168 Is anyone able to say how GTR are handling people without tickets?

Not seen this reported elsewhere. Very unpleasant incident. From Nantwich News https://thenantwichnews.co.uk/2018/09/19/two-men-injured-in-railway-incident-at-cholmondeston-near-nantwich/

Looking at pricing, it appears that a Didcot ticket is the same price as an Oxford one, so that got me thinking. Why would someone buy a Didcot ticket when: - You effectively get free journeys to Oxford (handy for the weekend) - It would also be valid between Marylebone and Oxford, which then...

So looking at the new NRCOT, a question I'm not clear on is what is formally a zonal ticket. Clearly a Z1-6 Travelcard is a zonal ticket. Is a <outboundary station> to Z1-6 travelcard also a zonal ticket? If I hold such a ticket and want to travel from zone 1 to <distant station, on...

To coincide with the launch of the Paddington film, FGW have launched a campaign to reunite children with their lost teddy bears before Christmas. Teddy Rescue can be found at https://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/contents/teddyrescue A range of found items is shown on the site. Hopefully this...

The article states that the French equivalent of the NAO is recommending reducing the number of stations and getting rid of Buffet cars. The full article can be found at http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/26/frances-high-speed-tgv-trains-running-out-of-steam-official-report

No trains at all this morning. Rumour is that engineering work over the weekend broke the signalling system. Any truth to the rumour?

Local campaigner holds a public meeting to seek to revive this line. http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2014/rail-enthusiasts-call-for-line-revival Although I'd love to see the route from Didcot to Newbury reopened I really can't see much of a business case and there's a fair bit of the line that...

Using BR Fares I came across this destination with a number of valid tickets from FGW origins/destinations. Can anyone tell me which buses it's valid for and which station it assumes (Swindon or Oxford)?
