All,
what's the cheapest way to get from Heathrow airport to Colchester?
I thought I'd take the tube to London Liverpool Street or Stratford (£3.10 off peak) and then the train to Colchester. IMHO the train tickets are rather expensive as I can't take an advance ticket as my flight might be...
Dear all,
I bought an advance ticket from Manchester to Colchester.
7:55 - Manchester Piccadilly 10:08 - London Euston (reservation)
10:08 - London Euston 11:02 - London Liverpool Street Tube
11:02 - London Liverpool Street 11:47 - Colchester Train Reserved - no seat allocated.
If the train...
Dear all,
I'd like to go from Thornaby or Stockton to London on Saturday, September 28th (morning). The cheapest ticket I find is £102.50 (advance). Wtf? Any suggestions how to get a cheaper ticket?
The only option I see is going to York very early in the morning and then taking a coach to...
Dear all,
any chance to get from Newcastle airport to Whitby arriving before 6pm (and starting after 1pm) on a Friday?
The only connections I found are these:
APN -> WTB 12:04 -> 15:38 (departing too early)
APN -> WTB 16:04 -> 19:25 (arriving too late)
I'd like to go from London to Billericay on Saturday. Let's see if I understood the whole boundary fares thingy...
Liverpool Street to Billericay return costs £14.20. A Z1-6 travelcard costs £13.10 and a BZ6 to Billericay costs £7.20 so that doesn't make any sense if you're not travelling on...
Dear all,
I'd like to go from London to Torquay/Paignton on April 21st and back on April 23rd. The journey planner shows an off peak return ticket for nearly 100 quid. Are there any cheaper options (except coach)?
Dear all,
another optimization problem... I'd like to go from Luton Airport Parkway to Maidstone and return on Saturday.
Is there a cheaper option than £32.80? (Ticket to Elstree + Travelcard 1-6 + BZ 6 to Maidstone)
Thanks!
Today (Sunday) I bought a super of peak ticket from ELS to LUA with the intention of breaking my journey at SAC.
The ticket barriers at ELS didn't open, so didn't these in SAC (out and back in).
There weren't any problems to get in, but huh?
Sitting in a TPE train with my Advance Single paper ticket someone sat in my seat. After asking him to leave he showed me a ticket on the Trainline app with the same seat (time, coach and seat number, although I didn't see the date).
Is it possible that duplicate seat reservations are issued...
Dear all,
another football related question:
I'd like to go from Birmingham to Elstree & Borehamwood on March, 30th and from Birmingham to Ebbsfleet Intl' on April, 2nd.
Arrival time is approx. 2pm and departure time approx. 5.30pm.
Both journeys cost a whopping 110 GBP...
(65.80 off-peak...
All,
I'd like to go from Wrexham to Kirkham & Wesham and return on March 10th.
Any idea why the 17:25 (replacement bus) return service isn't selectable? As these are off peak tickets may I take this service?
All,
I planned to go from Grimsby to Lincoln next Sunday. But as there are crappy transport links (2,5+ hours) I rather stay in Grimsby or head somewhere else.
Any suggestions what to visit from Grimsby on a Sunday?
Dear all,
I'm trying to make the most of my FOSW rover ticket... I have to go from Bournemouth to Birmingham Airport, arriving on April 9th, 4 pm at the latest.
I'd thought I go from Bournemouth to Cheltenham Spa via Bristol (avoiding Reading) and then pay a whopping £23 for Cheltenham to...
All,
I'd like to go from Luton Airport to Plymouth on April 2nd and return on April 7th. But instead of returning to Luton airport I'd like to spend one or two days in Bournemouth and then return to Luton airport.
Outward bound ticket shouldn't be an advance ticket as the flight may be...
All,
I'd like to go from Manchester to Morecambe on Sunday, 15th February and arrive by 12pm.
Seemingly there are two possibilities:
1. 09:04 - 11:50 via Preston and Lancaster. If this train is cancelled I'm conned. Therefore alternative 2.
2. 08:02 - 08:53 Manchester - Preston. Then...
Dear all,
I bought a return ticket London Waterloo to Yeovil Junction with Plusbus. When I boarded the bus from Yeovil bus station to the airfield (2nd leg) I had to pay another £1.90 because "the ticket is only valid to Junction". As the Plusbus website states "unlimited travel", did the bus...
