    Delay Repay - measuring against timetable when purchased, or later amended timetable.

    During the week after the Bedford crash (when the line was shut) I had plans to travel from Bedford to London three times, using tickets purchased before amended timetables were published or cancellations were made as a result of the crash. My journeys were obviously significantly delayted -...

    Plus Bus validity

    I'm considering a day out in Scarborough and want to decide if it's worth adding a plus bus. The website doesn't list any participating operators - is there another way to establish which buses I can use? I assume it doesn't mean there are no participating buses and the add-on is therefore...

    Bedford - St Pancras on RMT strike day - Reliability of service?

    I'm due to be catching a Eurostar this Saturday morning, and need to get to St Pancras from Bedford. When the strike was announced, I made slightly complicated alternative plans involving friends and cars, but I can now see that Thameslink are planning to run some trains leaving Bedford between...

    Possible to excess return half at St Pancras?

    My wife and I need to travel from Bedford to St Pancras late Thursday morning, returning in the afternoon. There are cheap advances still available in the morning, but we need flexibility later so I don't think that helps us - it will be cheaper to buy a day return. There's a good chance we'll...

    Weekly Season - not travelling- no recourse?

    I currently hold a weekly season ticket expiring tomorrow. I had planned to use it today and tomorrow but am following the sensible advice to not travel rather than risk the almost inevitable significant disruption and delay. My understanding is that I cannot claim delay repay or any form of...

    Bedford to Manchester Routing

    I'm travelling from Bedford to Manchester on Saturday, returning on Sunday. I can't fix journey times this stage, but I do have a season ticket from Bedford to London Thameslink. I had assumed I would travel via Sheffield (using a £68.80 off-peak return), but it looks like it might be useful...

    Additional adult on Network Railcard

    Another adult and I are travelling from Cambridge to London later today. I have a (monthly) season ticket, but my companion will need to buy a ticket. We have a two together railcard (which I assume we can't use, as I don't need a ticket) and I have a valid network railcard. Can my...

    Buying one ticket with a two together railcard.

    My girlfriend and I are travelling from Basingstoke to Attleborough, on Tuesday 30th. We'll later travel from Attleborough to Cambridge (probably on 3rd January). I have a return half of a ticket from Basingstoke to Cambridge and had been intending to buy a return from Cambridge to...

    Cambridge to Gatwick

    I'm part of a group of four who will be travelling from Cambridge to Gatwick in February and I'm struggling a little to establish the cheapest way of doing so. We need to be at Gatwick by 7.30am on the 16th February and travelling in the peak means prices are higher than I'd hoped - it might...

    Sheffield to York

    I've got a £5.20 advance ticket from Sheffield to York for Monday, but now find that if I travel earlier than booked I'll be able to meet some friends in York. I will need to arrive by around eleven. I guess the £10 admin fee essentially makes my present ticket worthless? What is the most...

    Cambridge to Chester - unable to buy single for return leg

    I'm travelling from Cambridge to Chester on Thursday 5th at 10:15, returning on Monday 9th (when I need some flexibility with regard to timing). A quick look on the national rail website suggested I could get a £23.50 advance single for the outward journey and a £49.60 off peak single for...
