Eurostar are launching direct London to Antwerp trains from December. Just outbound currently with no plans for a direct return service. Head for Points article with details of new route

Hi all Our return Eurostar from Paris has been cancelled next Wednesday (10:12 from Gare du Nord). As normal, Eurostar are not clearly explaining my rights as a passenger. As I understand it, I am entitled to "continuing or re-routing your journey under comparable conditions to reach your final...

Hoping for some help please. I'm planning to travel from Reading to Bristol Temple Meads, via Westbury. I'm thinking of using a Theale to Bristol Temple Meads ticket, as this has a cheaper 'via Westbury' fare, which isn't available from Reading. My understanding is that if I travelled from...

Hello I will be travelling with 7 others from Paris to Bourg-Saint-Maurice in January on one of the direct ski TGVs. We are keen to get 2x tables of four, so I will do some dummy bookings to try and get the Club-4 seats. However last year we travelled on two TGV duplex from Paris to Lyon and...

Hi all Apologies I have tried to search through the forum to find an answer to this but didn't manage to find a specific answer. Is a Meldreth (or Royston) to London Thameslink season ticket valid on the C&H/Met lines between Kings Cross and Farringdon, to then exit at Farringdon? If so...

Hoping I'm not going mad here... In March, the off peak contactless fare from London Paddington to Reading increased to £13.60. Fine. I have taken this route a few times and have been charged £13.60. At the weekend I noticed I had been charged £14 for the same journey. Checked the fare finder...

Hello, we are planning to take the SJ Euronight from Hamburg to Stockholm (or possibly Norrköping) on 26th April. Currently the SJ website is suggesting a long journey with 3 changes but says 'Track Maintenance in planning' meaning it won't let me see any details of the itinerary. Does anyone...

Something weird going on with Lizzie line live departures today. Every service seems to be showing twice, and the duplicates are showing as 'Delayed' after departure. Makes for quite a confusing experience.

Hi all I'm due to start a new commute into London soon, where I will likely take the same train each morning. Rather than checking an app/website every morning, I was hoping to find an app/service which could send me a text or a notification if a) my specific train is late or cancelled or b)...

Hello, For the purpose of this post I am considering Outer London NR stations where London Underground also serves the station, either using the same platforms as 'mainline' trains or adjacent ones. I've noticed two approaches to how this is integrated on the National Rail journey planner/live...

Hello Today I was travelling on IC 146 from Osnabrück to Amsterdam, departing at 13:53. Upon arrival in Bad Bentheim the train ground to a halt, there was a problem with the locomotive and some issues with the track ahead I believe. After around 1 hour of waiting I had to take a regional train...

I will soon be commuting from Bradford on Avon (BOA) to Reading (RDG). Due to the times I will be travelling, I'll only be using trains via Westbury and Pewsey. Doing some quick calculations, a couple of splitting options I saw were (all prices monthly): 1) BOA to RDG season ticket =...

Hi there, sorry if this is the wrong place for this... Does anyone know the times when the 379s run on the route from Cambridge to Liverpool Street? You get power sockets and wifi, and they are generally more comfortable imo than the 317s. For a day out it would be nice to plan to get on a...

I will be travelling from Cambridge to BOA on 2nd or 3rd June and returning on 5th June. I have a 16-25 railcard and currently fares are around £18ish each way. I was just wondering if there are any splits which would potentially be beneficial for this route? I don't mind going a more...

Hi all, a newbie here. I will be holidaying in the Highlands this summer and wanted to ask some advice about finding the cheapest fare. I will be travelling from Glasgow Queen Street to Arisaig, with a 16-25 railcard. I was hoping to take advantage of the new cheap ScotRail advance fares -...
