I'd like to check on something that's a little ambiguous in the wording of the routeing guide. Are tickets which state one or more TOCs in the 'route' section, but no other route restriction, valid via any permitted route provided those TOCs are used? For example, suppose one wished to travel...

I'm about to buy a season ticket for my commute from New Cross to Waterloo East, and I'm interested in whether I can also use that ticket at New Cross Gate. I want a season rather than a travelcard because I have a staff pass that already gives me free travel on TfL rail and bus, but not NR...

Hi, TfL publicity appears not to state anything on the subject of whether minimum fares have any bearing on the availability of railcard discounts on Oyster PAYG fares. I understand that the railcard discount is not available on morning peak fares (before 0930 on weekdays). On the rail...

I am planning to make a trip involving: - Travelling from LDS to BHM on existing tickets via SOT. - Travelling from BHM to BRI - A few days later, returning from BRI to LDS. One possibility is to make a return trip between BHM and BRI using this ticketing combination (all with railcards)...

Hi. I am planning to travel, on the 1st of November, from Gatwick Airport to Leeds. My flight arrives at 1815. To allow for all but the most major possible disruption, I intend to take the 2330 train out of KGX. The cheapest way to do this is to take Thameslink to KGX on an FCC Only ticket...

I am looking for some figures that I can quote on the increases in walk-up rail fares over this history of the privatised railway. Are there any places that I can find historical data on these fares? I would also welcome any information that you have on the increase in cost of particular...

I am wondering whether, if one makes a continuous trip within the travelcard zones which involves an out-of-system connection between tube and national rail at a London terminal (for example, Kings Cross St. Pancras Underground to Ealing Broadway, changing at Paddington), one gets a free...

I was just looking at splitting tickets to reach Salisbury. I notice that Grantham to Chandlers Ford is available at £45.75 (railcard) with a Super Off Peak Return, but it only appears to be valid, according to the East Coast website's journey planner, on Hull Trains services departing Grantham...

I am intending to travel between Horsforth (near Leeds; same fare) and Salisbury, returning five days later. The cheapest walk-up ticket I have found thus far is a Horsforth to Chandlers Ford super off-peak return, which costs £73.40 (railcard). If you have a better suggestion, for at least the...

My girlfriend, who is a resident and citizen of Finland and is aged 23, is visiting me later this month on a trip that would make a young person's railcard very much worthwhile. My distinct recollection is that there is no requirement to be a UK resident to hold a young person's railcard -...

I have tried a couple of times to search for tickets with Adonis East Coast's website, and others when that has failed, and have been told that they cannot connect to the NRS. Does this mean that there's some serious problems with the NRS being down?

Ignoring crap traction for a moment, now we're almost rid of all the valentas, trains with plenty of room and potential for heads out do make a journey quite a bit better. Therefore: 1. Of the 27 and 47 past departures from Sheffield (when there are two departures) on weekdays, which is...

Does anyone have experience of the staff at Leeds City Station and their willingness to issue railcards? I know advance bookings has limited hours, roughly 9-5 as I recall (correct me if I'm wrong), but I do not know if the standard ticket windows are willing to issue Y-P railcards at other...

I need to make a return Leeds-Manchester journey, traveling out on the 0738 on Monday Morning. I am trying to resist TPE's AP, as committing to one train in a 15-minute headway service seems like committing to use a particular tube train two days in advance. However, the peak restrictions...

I have the predicament of having to leave Brighton for Dover before 9:30 to make a ferry from Dover to Calais. It's essential I take the train I do at 8:32, and I can't delay an hour. My exact travel plans are as follows: 17th June: Leeds to London (already booked) and London to Brighton...

Does anyone have information on the position of crosssovers and sidings, etc., between Garforth and York, and between Garforth and Selby?

From photographs of King's Cross station, there seems to be Evidence of an additional, unused tunnel exiting King's Cross. Is this the case? Were it possible to have an extra functioning Tunnel, it would seem that this would give potential to lengthen the platforms at King's Cross by simplifying...

I am wanting to travel on the Night Riviera soon, and I have no idea how to purchase tickets for it, or what tickets I need to purchase. So what is the cheapest way of traveling on the night riviera, and how do i book tickets, and what are the more expensive ways if the cheapest way is not...

When I was in Maryland this december, I found that there are local trains on the default route, the northeast corridor, that call at stations no included in the route as the msts route only involves stations the express services call at. The minor stations are in fact visible on the route...
