Hi all. I have just had sight of a ticket issued for this journey - i.e. the route field shows "Valid only via Aberystwyth". brfares.com has it as well: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=NWT&dest=CDF&rte=649&tkt=SVR. It is cheaper than the Any Permitted fare via Shrewsbury. I can only...

Hi all - can anybody help with info about the above? NB. Not the current Heart of Wessex Rover. I'm going through my collection of Rail Rovers at the moment, which include a series of "3-in-7" Wessex Rovers from various years between 1991 and 2004. The 1991 price was £22.00 for 3 days, and...

I haven't been able to figure out a definitive answer to this, so I will throw it open to the forum! I will be flying into Munich soon, and for reasons that are far too boring to mention :lol: I would like to travel into the city by first taking a bus (the 512, specifically) to Erding, then...

Hi all, I'm seeking information about an APTIS ticket of which I have been sent a scan (attached): from Glasgow Central to TARBET VIA GOURK (i.e. Tarbet via Gourock) dated 2 August 1998. I'm trying to find out more details of this. I assume Tarbet refers to the Tarbet of "Arrochar & Tarbet"...

Hi all, A question of local interest and nostalgia for anybody familiar with the Harrogate area and/or the WYRCC, if I may. I'm trying to find out more about the history of the building on Westmoreland Street, Harrogate, which since 2012 has been used by the Mowbray Community Church, but which...

It has been announced that the bus station in the centre of Lewes, East Sussex, will close on (or by) Friday 16th September 2022. It has been bought by a developer, and notice has been served this week. Temporary bus stops will be put in place in School Hill and Friars Walk, both of which are...

Hi all, A contact has sent me a scan of a SPORTIS ticket dated 16 May 1998, issued from BOURNEMOUTH to BOURNEMOUTH marked ADMISSION and priced at £3.50. The NLC shows it was a Southampton-based machine. Some web-searching suggests it was issued for an open day at Bournemouth Depot on that...

Hi all, I'm looking at the timetable for Saturday 25th June for the Salisbury Reds route 87 - a fairly irregular Salisbury–Salisbury service via Pitton, Winterslow and various Wiltshire villages. As it stands today, the Salisbury Reds website is showing a PDF timetable valid from March 2022...

Hi all, Possibly an unanswerable question...! I can see that the evening time restrictions on Super Off-Peak Returns with a 9D code have apparently been lifted "until further notice" on Fridays on departures from London Kings Cross and Stevenage. (Normally these tickets would be barred...

Just a quick question please, to which I'm almost certain the answer is "No", but I'd better just check :) Is a ticket routed +VIA MANCHESTER valid on Metrolink in the City Zone? Specifically for a Hove-Todmorden ticket for use between Picc and Vic? Cheers!

Bit of a long shot given the passage of time, but does anybody have any info on a Day Ranger ticket called the Lincoln or Lincolnshire Poacher which was around in 1987? A ticket (illustrated) has come my way and I haven't been able to find out anything about it. It is an APTIS issue from...

Evening all, I'm doing some research into the North West Day Ranger ticket of the early/mid-1990s. I found a scan of a leaflet from 1990 which indicates the ticket was not valid on direct InterCity services between Crewe, Warrington BQ and Wigan NW, but could be used between Crewe and...

An obscure technical question which sits somewhere between "General Discussion", "Fares Advice and Policy" and "Railway History and Nostalgia"! Please move if appropriate. Can anybody familiar with the APTIS ticket issuing system help with decoding some fields on the attached scan? I have...

Hello all, A friend needs to commute between Haywards Heath and Slough daily for a while (Seven Day or Monthly seasons would be of interest, nothing longer than that). No Season Ticket fares appear to be available between the two; I imagine it's something to do with having to cross London...

Hi all, When I joined the forum, one of my main aims was to tap into the wide range of expertise members may have on (sometimes) obscure ticket-related and fare-related subjects. So, here we go with a few questions on the first one... :D I am interested in, and have spent some time...

I couldn't find any mention of this by searching, but apologies if it has already been brought up anywhere! I commute on Southern Class 313 units every day. This evening, for the first time as far as I can remember, the middle set of doors in the second (i.e. middle) coach had prominent red...

I don't often buy or search for Advance tickets, so this may have an obvious answer! Is there any easy way to search for Advance fares on a particular train across a number of days? i.e. I know which train I'd like to travel on, but I can travel on pretty much any day so I would like to find...

A ticket with the routeing FIRST X22/X30 has been brought to my attention. It is from Chelmsford to Cambridge; just a standard Anytime Day Return. Details on brfares.com: http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=CHM&dest=CBG&rte=910&tkt=SVR I'm guessing this allows travel between Chelmsford...

Does anybody know what status code GW15 refers to on travel tickets? Seen on a number of Off Peak Returns from First Great Western stations to London Terminals issued circa June 2013. The discount on the full fare appears to be about 20%. A web search turned up nothing obvious. Cheers!

Hi all, On behalf of a friend, please could I ask about the best options for ticket splitting on an Off Peak Return journey from (ideally) Bromley South to Manchester Piccadilly? Here are the details: Date of travel is Thursday 24th April Needs to break journey on the way up at Crewe...
