http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/road-closed-and-trains-suspended-after-car-struck-by-train-near-lidlington/story-30026678-detail/story.html There's no news yet on whether there are any casualties, but I understand there's quite a lot of emergency vehicles there. Will the RAIB be...

Hi folks, I've just been looking at the return leg of a Cheltenham to Ipswich journey I plan to make in a few weeks, and spotted that the only fares available are routed either "Via Not London" (set by XC) or "Via London & Stroud or Evesham" (set by GA), which would rule out travel via Bristol...

Hi folks, Having read the restrictions for a Newcastle to Swindon Super Off-Peak return (code 1L), I'm still not entirely sure whether I can have an overnight break of journey on the outward leg of an SSR if I resume my journey before 12:00 the following day but could theoretically complete my...

I've got to travel from Cheltenham to Newbury this week (on the 05.54 train :(, back the following evening) and have noticed that the only ticket valid for the journey is the Anytime Return at £79.20 (with a 16-25 Railcard), which seems a bit steep (even though I'll be claiming it back on...

I'm starting my new job at the end of the month, and have to go to the company's head office in the docklands for 3 days of training. I'm currently stopping with my parents near Bedford, so figure it's easiest to travel from there on the Wednesday morning, either going from Flitwick or Milton...

When I got to Dundee this morningthe ticket on departure system wasn't working at the machine or the ticket office. I had no opportunity to collect when I changed at haymarket, and have been told Manchester oxford road station doesn't do ticket on departure, so do I have to walk to picadilly to...

I've just bought a ticket for tomorrow from Dundee to Manchester Oxford Road through the Red Spotted Hanky website (using Tesco vouchers), and I seem to have missed the window for seat reservations online. Have I completely missed the seat reservation window, or should I be able to get...

I'm currently looking at going to Wetherby for a job interview, however haven't agreed a date/time with the prospective employer yet. I know Wetherby doesn't have a train station, so figure I'll have to get a bus from York/Harrogate/Leeds. Does anybody know which of these is best in terms of...

I'm looking at travelling back from Milton Keynes Central to Dundee this weekend, via Glasgow. As the connection I'm hoping to make is only 28 minutes (I understand the advised connection time is 30 mins, even though it actually takes much less), and the next train from to Dundee isn't for 2...

It looks like I might have to travel to Guildford next week from my parents house. I've been looking at how best to get there, and think it could be via Bletchley and Clapham Junction on the hourly MK - East Croydon service (probably the 08:17). I don't think I'll be able to get a lift to...

I've had a search and can't find anywhere that shows which Virgin services are Voyager operated and which ones are Pendolino operated. I'm looking at travelling on the 16:40 or 17:40 departures from Glasgow Central to Euston (getting off at MKC) on a Saturday and would ideally like to have a go...

I'm contemplating travelling with Virgin from Dundee to Milton Keynes at the end of this month and buying weekend first upgrades between Dundee and MK. Most of the trains require a change at Birmingham or Crewe, so will the first upgrade be valid on both trains, or is it £15 per train?

I got an email from East Coast today offering me a 20% discount by way of apology for the weather related disruption, as well as telling me about Delay Repay. It says it's valid on Standard and First Advance tickets, however I only appear to have got the 10% online discount despite using the...

I'm due to travel south to Stevenage tomorrow on an Advance ticket, however with the bad weather and state of the roads I'm concerned my parents who are picking me up might have difficulties getting to Stevenage station to pick me up. I'm therefore contemplating trying to get to St Neot's or...

One of my mates has an Off Peak Return from Dundee to Southport and intends to travel today. As ScotRail, East Coast and Cross Country have suspended all services between Dundee/Aberdeen and Edinburgh, he can't travel by train, so may end up taking the bus to Edinburgh and catching the train...

I was wondering whether on a point to point ticket with a cross London transfer from a Thameslink station to Paddington whether it would be permissable to carry on past St Pancras to Farringdon, and then switch to the tube to Paddington, or whether that would be considered doubling back. If it...

I'm planning a trip on FCC's Thameslink route between Flitwick/Bedford and London, but want to make sure I avoid the peak trains. Can any one tell me roughly when the services stop being busy in the morning, and start getting busy in the afternoon?

Having read other threads I could be mistaken - all I've seen are flashes of London Overground livery go past the window! Anyway - new London Overground trains have been going along the Bedford-Bletchley line, are they Capitalstars or 172s, and what are they up to? mods: could you change the...

I've just had a quick search, but can't see anything on the subject. So, is it possible to excess an "Any Permitted" ticket to a TOC specific one? I know you can't do it the other way round. I figure if doable, this could be quite useful where a TOC specific ticket has more lax restrictions...

I've just discovered that it is possible to buy a first class season ticket on the Bedford-Bletchley route, even though all the trains on the line have no first class accommodation. For example Fenny Stratford - Bedford Stations has a first class season available. The regular fares are...
