    Non-Stop Split Time Restrictions

    Hi Everyone, I have a London Zones 1-3 Travelcard, and I'm looking at buying an SWR Super-Off Peak Single from Boundary Zone 3, with the restriction code UP. The restriction says A rather generous interpretation would be that as I'm boarding at Waterloo with my Travelcard, I can then do a non...

    SWR Guard Not Understanding Super-Off Peak ticket

    I was just hoping for some advice on a complaint I'm sending to SWR. A guard today confidently told me that my Super Off-Peak return wasn't valid on my pre-midday service, despite this restriction only applying Monday - Saturday. I think it's pretty concerning that a guard could make such a...

    SWR Evening Out issues

    I was aiming to buy a Parkstone (PKS) to Southampton Airport Parkway (SOA) evening out return the other day, using LNER to get an e-ticket on GPay. However it wouldn't sell the correct fare, only an Off Peak Day Return. SWR happily would so I had a look on a few other sites, Trainline, GWR...

    I'm looking for a website that'll give me a bike reservation for a Dorchester South-Frome journey at 1713. However the first group sites try to sell me the ''Via Salisbury" fare instead of the cheaper but still valid "Any Permitted". Are there any sites that will sell the correct fare and offer...

    Dispute with SWR (wanting to part pay with RTV, ended up paying nothing)

    I recently travelled with SWR and boarded at a station where the ticket office was closed. As TVMs don't accept Rail Travel Vouchers (RTVs) I went into the platform and boarded the train I wanted to use. When the guard came through I tried to use my voucher as part payment of my fare which at no...

    Rail Travel Vouchers

    I have got 2 Rail Travel Vouchers after SWT delayed me. At my local station, Branksome, the TVMs don't take them (I think). If I start to make a journey because the RTVs weren't accepted will I be penalty fared for not having a valid ticket or does the guard/RPI have to accept the RTVs? Thanks

    450'S on the South Coast

    Hi, Does anyone know which trains are diagrammed as 450's beyond Southampton? I know it's a few of the Poole stoppers. I'm interested so I can avoid all of them when I'm down there. Thanks
