    Cheltenham - Liverpool Lime Street Monday Mornings

    Starting on the 25th Sept I need to make four journeys from Cheltenham to Liverpool, arriving around 12:15 on the Monday and departing at 15:00ish on the Friday. On the first Monday this is fine as I can do some combo of off-peak and super off-peak splitting at Birmingham, but after that I...

    Bristol to Gatwick overnight advance

    I want to travel from Bristol to Gatwick on an advance ticket (via Slough)- the last train at 22:30 for a 7am flight. I have somewhere to stay for a few hours - but I can't work out if the Victoria to Gatwick part is reserved, could anyone help? As I would rather not get to Gatwick asap, which...

    Flitwick to Bristol 27th Dec

    I want to use a return portion of a Super off-peak return from Bristol to Flitwick just after Christmas. The GWR journey planner is offering no valid journeys on the 27th from Flitwick to Bristol between 10:30 and 16:30, as the suggested trains are via Leicester and Birmingham. This latter...

    Notice to make additional stops?

    How much time does it take to allow for making additional stops for a cancelled service? The train from Weymouth to Bristol was cancelled at 12:23 at Castle Cary, but according to FGW they can't get any train to stop at Oldfield Park between 13:00 and 14:00 as there isn't enough notice. This...

    Is this valid any other route than simply Bath to Padd? Like Waterloo on the 3 a day through train? Thanks :)

    Ticket Acceptance and Delay Causes

    I wanted to find out/discuss if ticket acceptance between TOCs ever happens if there is a "TOC-related" fault? Like a staff shortage or train fault? I ask as twice I've had the same train cancelled on long journeys for two reasons, a major signalling problem at Reading and other a staff...

    Virgin delays

    I follow Frankie Boyle on twitter, he's apparently on a Virgin train that's been stood still so long it's being evacuated? Are things really that bad with the wires?

    Swindon to Didcot hugely expensive?

    I'm planning for a two month commute from Bath to Didcot Parkway in July and August so I can use my YP railcard at any time and found it was 100 pound for a weekly season which I thought was a bit pricey. Looking at railcard returns every day it is ~£10 to Swindon but ~£33 for one more stop...

    Bath Spa to London

    Hi, I'm looking for a day in London and found the cheapest split to be Bath to Freshford, Freshford to Theale and Theale to London off peak. I'm no good with the permitted routes and stuff, is it possible to stop short at Reading from Westbury avoiding Theale? Or even better "stop short" and...
