Hi Guys Need some advice please. Last Friday I travelled back to Preston using an off peak (SVR) return from London Marylebone. Wanting to know whether it was valid on the 16.30, I enquired at the ticket office. This is where my problems started. :evil: They looked at the ticket and stated...

Good morning all. My job dictates that I have to go to London from Preston on quite a few occasions in the next few weeks and generally I travel off peak in roder to avoid paying silly prices. Generally I will book in advance or split my journey at Crewe and travel with London Midland. This...

Good morning all I've just had a look in the new NFM02 kindly supplied by users on this forum and see to my disgust quite frankly that Virgin have removed most of their previosuly unrestricted tickets with restricted tickets! Basically they've taken off the 8A (use on any train, any time) and...
