Evening all, Anyone like to speculate as to what the attached image is all about? It's a ticket blank printed with "VOID VOID VOID VOID" across the middle, no other text. Came from one of the ex-GNER East Coast vending machines at Leeds, as part of a series of ToD prints. All the...

Hallo all, I'm wondering what sort of levels of discount people are managing to get on standard non-TOC-specific fares *without* using railcards. Not so interested in TOC-specific offers (eg where the TOC's own site sells their own advances slightly cheaper) or very restricted offers like...

Hi, I need to buy a 19c split for immediate use, on a Thursday evening at Kings Cross at around 1700. I will need to buy (renew) a 7-day season as part of this. A few questions: Am I likely to have to queue for a long time to buy a ticket (from a person - as I need a season I can't use...

Hallo! I need to make a day trip to London later this month, travelling out from Wakefield Westgate at about 0700. I don't want to commit to a train home. If I did, the cost for 2 advance singles would be about £140. East Coast would like to sell me a £249 open return for this. I have...

Hi, My 2-year old son is fascinated by the train of Peugeot vans which passes our house on the Calder Valley line most mornings at about 0700. Could anyone tell me anything about it please, such as where it comes from and where it's going to? Cheers

Foundations are being dug for a new footbridge at Todmorden, to replace the crossing at the foot of Dobroyd Road (barely visible through the trees in this google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/DsLQe) It's said locally that the bridge itself will arrive by train. This is somewhat conceivable...

Hi, I'm looking in to ticketing options for a morning peak journey from Thornaby to Leeds, and a return either the same evening or (more likely) 2 or 3 days later. Unfortunately, advance purchase is seldom possible, as the journey is made at short notice. Departure from Stockton...

Hallo, I'm looking for inspiration about ways to reduce the cost of a weekend day return trip from Todmorden to York. The CDR is 17.50. A split at Hebden Bridge gives: Todmorden - Hebden Bridge CDR: 2.30 Hebden Bridge - York CDR: 14.40 Total: 16.70, saving 80p. I've been looking...

Hi, This is my first post here, although I've been reading for a few months, so please be gentle. I'm interested in the opinions of the experts here about the use and misuse of Condition of Carriage 19 - combining tickets. I'm not sure whether it's OK to post full journey details when a...
