I've had a DSB railcard for many years (hearing loss), and whenever I've previously renewed, the date on the "new" railcard has always been 1 or, as the case may be, 3 years after the expiry of the existing railcard.
Earlier this month, a month prior to the expiry of my still-valid railcard, I...
I've noticed that, on the Eurostar website, at least as far as I can tell, there is no availability of National Rail through tickets to any Eurostar destination for any journey on or after Sunday 8th December.
Does anyone know why this is, and more importantly, know if and when these tickets...
I don't wish to name the stations at this stage, but, with stations A -> B -> C -> D in a line, not being part of the same station group, I'd like to buy a C to D "via B" CDR ticket which permits BoJ at intermediate stations, and use it, along with a different CDR valid for A to B, to travel A...

I've recently received a response from the Department for Transport concerning the time restrictions that apply when a 'regulated SVR/SSR' [which happens to permits BoJ] is "started short" or "broken and resumed" at an intermediate station which is not a "London station" for the purpose of fares...
Is a Fleet- Cheltenham Spa Super Off-Peak Single valid to start short at Basingstoke and end short at Bristol Temple Meads, when travelling via Reading and Swindon? I understand that this ticket permits break of journey.
The online journey planners are showing this as valid, and I believe it...
I'm going from Basingstoke to Reading on Friday morning, and noted that, according to online journey planners, a Basingstoke- Farnborough Stations SDS appears to be valid the 'long way round' via Reading. This ticket is cheaper than a SDS from Basingstoke to Reading.
However, the Routeing...
