I was looking at journeys in the week commencing Sunday 19th May 2019 (which is the date when the summer timetable is due to start) and found that the LNER seat map is randomly unavailable. For example, on an Aberdeen to London train, the seat map was available for Dundee to London journeys but...
Is it usual for rail-replacement bus timetables not to have been entered into the journey planners with only 4 weeks to go until the first of the days for which they will be needed? I did try contacting Scotrail but the person replying simply agreed that there would be replacement buses on...

I was booking tickets (offpeak returns) for 2 people planning to travel on busy trains. I therefore wanted to book seat reservations for them. They were going to be bringing a bicycle back with them, so I needed to reserve a bike space for the return leg of the journey. However, I ended up also...
I had an Advance for a journey on Virgin Trains East Coast this coming Sunday and needed to upgrade it to an Advance for the corresponding journey on Monday. I had bought the ticket online from the VTEC website and had therefore had the benefit of their 2% online discount. I tried to make the...
On the Scotrail website, I can buy a £16.70 anytime day single from Edinburgh to St Andrews Bus with the following itinerary on, say, a Wednesday evening:
Edinburgh 2308
Leuchars 0023
Leuchars station bus stop 0029
St Andrews Bus Station 0039
The 2308 is the last train of the day from...
