Hi All - Hope this is the right section. I've been looking at travelling out to the Peak District from Sheffield on a Sunday and there appears to be a two hour break between 12:14 and 14:14. The one that would be most convenient to me is of course the "missing" 13:14 that does appear to run on...

Hi All - I 'm wanting to do a few days trip from Doncaster to Shrewsbury return and would like a flexible ticket. National Rail seems to send me via Birmingham but I'd like to go via Manchester, would an off-peak return be valid by this route please? Thanks.

Hi All - I'm wanting to go from Doncaster to Thurnscoe this Saturday and am getting a bit confused as to route and ticketing options. The National Rail site routes me either by Wakefield Westgate or Swinton. In the Wakefield case it looks like I'd need 2 tickets. The LNER site only shows the...

Hi All - I'm trying to book from Sheffield to Bristol this Thursday morning on XC but can't get a reservation (including on the forum site). Is there an underlying cause to this please or are they really sold out?

Hi All - Not sure if this is the right section. I travel most Sundays from Doncaster to Sheffield and back and last weekend and this, there are engineering works around Swinton (S Yorks). As last week, the only services showing as running at the moment are the hourly TPEs, however when I...

Hi All - My daughter had an LNER e-ticket on her iphone but when she tried to scan it at the mainline King's Cross gateline, her Apple Pay contactless kicked in and opened the barrier with this. This of course caused an incomplete journey with only a tap in registering. I managed to try and...

Hi All - I'm travelling from Fareham to Waterloo tomorrow afternoon on a Super Off Peak Return to Doncaster and have noticed that the xx:58 services have been cancelled. There is no accompanying explanation on the National Rail site. Is there any chance that the xx:24 services will be cancelled...

Hi All - My daughter has got herself a boyfriend from Benfleet so will probably be travelling there from Retford or Doncaster for the foreseeable. She went for the first time last week and had a bit of a 'mare. I advised her to go to Tower Hill as that appeared to be the closest and should be a...

Hi All - I’m currently on the 07:06 Doncaster to Hull at Gilberdyke where we arrived 10 minutes early, having diverted via Selby. The swing bridge at Goole is stuck open, “always problems with it” according to the conductor but he got a message saying that it should be fixed by 09:00, hope so...

Hi All - I think I know the answer to this but am just checking. Last week, I was on 2 Advances on one itinerary, Doncaster to King's Cross with Hull Trains and then Paddington to Swindon with GWR. The Hull Trains was delayed into Kings Cross and I had little time to make my connection at...

Hi All - What's the quickest way to get from King's Cross to Waterloo please? I have a trip in a few weeks' time where I'd like to make a "sporty" connection at Waterloo if possible. I'm currently thinking Victoria Line via the old ticket hall at King's Cross then changing at either Euston or...

Hi All - I’ve now seen 2 Grand Central 5 cars “off route” this week. First was going through Conisborough but I wasn’t close enough to see if there were any passengers on board. Now I’ve just had one come past me on Platform 1 at Chesterfield, didn’t stop and had no passengers. What gives?

Hi All, I want to do a Doncaster to Chapel-en-le-Frith day return in the near future. I'm not impressed with the fares and even splitting (that seem to rely on Advances) doesn't look good. So...I had a thought today of whether I could combine a SY Connect+ with a Derbyshire Wayfarer. Initial...

Hi All- I travel from Doncaster to Glasgow fairly regularly and have always gone via Edinburgh (indeed the journey planners, including the Rail Forums one, only offer this route). I had a thought about going via Manchester for a change but have to enter a via. However, I can get there at almost...

Hi All - I’ve just seen the above incident as I’m due to travel back from Winchester to Doncaster at lunchtime. Anyone got any more information, assume I’m going to be delayed somewhat.

Hi All, Blyton Road just north of Gainsborough is closed at the railway bridge where local gen says a truck carrying a forklift hit it a few weeks ago. I haven’t seen anything about the railway being closed but the road is apparently closed for more weeks if not months. Seems strange that the...

Morning All, I’m on the 07:41 Hull Trains Paragon service from Retford to London and the ride south of Grantham has been horrendous. Sections of severe rattling side to side, I’ve never experienced anything like it in 25 years on this line. Is this a known issue as I’ve not seen anything.

Hi All - I need to go to Nottingham and back from Doncaster on 9th Feb. I'm looking at going via Grantham and am being offered an Anytime Short Distance (Return Included) ticket. Is this ticket also valid via Sheffield in case of any disruption please, the info on the ticket just says "Travel...

Hi All - Before I try and submit a Delay Repay to Northern for the late running 11:48 Manchester to Sheffield which caused me to miss the 13:11 Trans Pennine from Sheffield to Doncasster (it sailed past us at Edale, the stopper already 13 down having been held at New Mills for 10 minute to let...

Hi All - I'm plannning a return trip from Doncaster to Horton-In-Ribblesdale and am looking at breaking my journey, certainly on the outbound leg, at Crossflatts. The planners (including the forum one) are offering me an Anytime Short Return but I can't decipher the break of journey conditions...
