Hi, I was trying to check the valid routes from Newport to Bath. I followed the on-site guidance, which identified both Newport and Bath as Routeing Points, and in the Permitted Routes section only map WX is listed. However, when I go to map WX at the ATOC pages the only lines and stations...

If I buy split tickets for a journey using Red Spotted Hanky, and ask for a seat reservation on each leg (which would be the same train), will they automatically give you the same seat throughout the whole journey, or will they randomly give you two separate seats, even if you book it all in one...

I've been buying tickets online recently, and splitting my route to get the best price, and then collecting at a vending machine. When I buy online (with First Great Western) after I make my first selection I get the option to add another journey, but at the end I still end up with a separate...

Does anyone know how long period returns on this service are valid for? Thanks.

If you have a ticket for a journey that involves going into one London Network Rail station and leaving via another London NR station, does your ticket always include the cost of underground transfer within zone 1. Would you be OK leaving the underground at a tube-only station as long as you...

On Sundays from 18 July onwards there appears to be engineering works between Swindon and Bristol Parkway resulting in slower journey times than normal. Does this mean services will route via Chippenham, Bath and Temple Meads instead, or will they use the normal route, but with speed restrictions?

A little while back I posted questions relating to how the route maps work and someone posted links to the 'yellow' and 'pink' pages which show permitted routes and routeing points. I saved the links and just tried them again now and they didn't work. Are they temporarily down or have they...

Can anyone provide me with an idiot's guide to how the Routeing maps work - how you use them and how it determines valid routeing. I have the link to the ATOC maps - what's the difference between green dots and squares. How, for example, would you go about determining the validity of routes...

I want to travel from Swindon to London Zone 8 on a Saturday (returning same day). Is it cheapest to ask for a through tkt to Zone 8 when I buy my rail ticket? I assume I will get a Zone 1-8 Travelcard combined with the rail tkt? Thanks.

Are there any fare changes with the new timetables, and if so is there a new version of Avantix (I have version 1.7.0.0). Thanks.

How many adults need to be travelling together to qualify - is it 3? And are there set criteria as to how much discount you get depending on how many people there are - or are there wide variations depending on operator/time. If there are advance tickets available for your route(s) can you get...

What's the correct terminology when asking to buy an Off Pk ticket that is valid for a month return i.e. SVR on Avantix. Is it 'Off Peak Return', as if so it's confusingly close to 'Off Pk Day Return'. I have sometimes asked for the former but they have been about to print me a day return until...

I'm a non-London/S East resident but an occasional visitor to London. Is it worth me getting an OC? What benefits do you get. At present, I would normally buy the appropriate Travelcard, or else get the train ticket with a 1-journey tube added on (is this U1 on the ticket?). I've had a...

If you're on a ticket where a break of journey is allowed and the guard stamps your ticket on your 1st section of travel, and then you resume your journey on another service and another guard sees your ticket has already been stamped, would he query it? What information is included when they...

Is it the case that for any 2 station travel points you will either be able to buy an Off Peak Day Return (if they're deemed to be close enough together) or else a normal Off Peak Return which you can thus use for return travel within a month. So for a given train service from point A...

I've seen on the NRE website that the cheapest tickets for my particular journey are obtained by splitting the route into 3. If I go to the local station office and state this to the staff member, will they sell me the 3 tickets or will they just sell me the 'normal' route. Presumably if I...
