    Clarification on sign at London Paddington

    I am fairly aware of some signs that GWR have that aren’t quite accurate eg regarding validity of off peak tickets. However, this is an interesting one as I believe it’s based on accurate information but communicated badly. It’s also not GWR, but at Paddington. The husband spotted this sign...

    Is a NSE card still worth it?

    My family and I (initially me at 16 and my younger brother, as it worked out better than me having a Y-P until I went to uni) have been using one of these for the past 20-25 years or so, and have seen the benefits of one being gradually eroded - removal of 1st Class supplements, removal of £1...

    Reading to Gatwick on a Z1-6 Travelcard Season Ticket

    Hullo, I've frequently in the past purchased a one day anytime travelcard from Reading to get to East Croydon and have gone via Redhill rather than into London and back out again. I've been inspected on route and have never been questioned. My SO has a yearly season Reading Z1-6 travelcard...
