Hi team I'm looking to travel from Preston Park to Winchester Saturday 8th November and back the next day. I have a network Railcard Trainline is selling me a splitsave for £44.35, but Trainpal are suggesting £35.85, ostensibly not charging for the return. Clearly I'd prefer to pay the lower...

Hi all I'm SUPER confused about the array of tickets available for this journey tomorrow - I'd usually just go to harpenden, but as there are no trains until next week I've got to go to Welwyn and get a lift. The only real fixture is that I need to catch the 11.27 from Kings Cross to Welwyn...

Hi there I'm looking to travel from Preston Park to London tomorrow, and am confused. My intention is to catch the first off-peak train (10.02) to London bridge, tube to Canary wharf for work, then in the evening tube to Hammersmith and then after a show from Hammersmith to Victoria and home...

Hi all I'm trying to buy a ticket from harpenden train station to St John's Wood underground. It doesn't seem to be possible to select that station as a destination on the Trainline website. A return to west Hampstead Thameslink is £13 and tube to St John's Wood is £1.80, making £16.60 When...

Hi all I'm travelling from Preston park to harpenden on Sunday afternoon, but I want to stop in London to watch some cricket. As far as I can tell my best option is 16.23 Preston park to West Hampstead Thameslink, tube from west Hampstead to st John's wood and back. Then back on the train to...

Hi all Trying to help a friend get the best fare... A daily return from Bedford to farringdon (or in fact any London Thameslink stop from st pancras to London bridge) is £53. Add about £6 for the tube return from farringdon to the wharf. If you're coming in twice a week you can get a 'Flexi...

Hi all I was looking at this old thread and have a similar question... https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/confusion-regarding-pink-readers.187354/ Going from Brighton to Canary Wharf, it's about £3 cheaper to get a train ticket to East Croydon, leave the station and come straight back in...

Hi all I'm looking at fares from Brighton to London Bridge. The first off-peak train leaves at 0839 but the Trainline offers two almost identical fares called 'Off-Peak Day Return' for £21.60. Both share the code CDR, presumably 'cheap day return', but on the validity panel one says 'valid...

Hi all You gave me very helpful similar advice here, but I've got a related question... I intend to buy an off-peak return from Harpenden to Brighton tomorrow, returning the following week. If I get off at Farringdon, catch the Elizabeth line to Canary Wharf, work for the afternoon, go to a...

Sorry if it's been asked before, but I can't find the difference between super and regular off peak day returns on Thameslink. Travelling from HPD to BFR and home later in the day, what are the restrictions please? As far as I can tell I need to leave HPD on the 0925 or later, and super off...

Hi all I'm due to meet my girlfriend in London on Wednesday and have a query. If I buy a return from Luton to Brighton, can I get off in London, go to the ballet, then get back on the train to complete the outward journey. On Sunday I'd go direct from Brighton to home. I'm suspecting this...

Hi all I'm struggling with the Virgin trains mixing deck. I live in Harpenden, and need to get to Penrith and back some time in May or June. I can easily get to Euston, or Watford although the shorter journey seems more expensive. Could someone please help with the best days and times to...

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but the previous threads seem to be closed. I have a gold card covering zones 1-6 from HPD, and want to go to Brighton at lunchtime today. Single fare with GC discount from ECR is £10.35, but I'd have expected a BZ6 fare to be cheaper given East Croydon is in zone...

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. I have a gold card with London zones 1-6. I need to get to Eastbourne (from Victoria) leaving lunch time on a Monday returning similar time the next day. Greatly appreciate fare advice.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but my regular train is timetabled as standard class only. However there is frequently a first class compartment due presumably to Thameslink not giving a monkeys. If I sit in there, given that they are not allowed to sell a first class ticket for that...
