I have a ticket to Amsterdam. Will I have any problems if I get off in Rotterdam?

Hope someone can help. I've just had a claim rejected for Delay Repay by GWR, I think erroneously. I had intended to travel on the 9th July on the 11am service from Oxford to London - this was cancelled, and so I got the 11.32 instead, which was a few minutes delayed. GWR say the delay was...

Hi all I’m currently at Oxford awaiting the delayed 5.20 to Paddington, hoping to get the 7.03 LNER Kings Cross to Edinburgh. I hold advance singles for the two legs plus an anytime travel card (I didn’t book my own tickets). In the event I miss my connection at Kings Cross, can I get the...

I need to travel from Oxford to Leamington Spa early on Sunday, arriving before 9.45. (I can also start and return from Oxford Parkway) No direct service runs that early, but I think I could go to Bicester Village, then walk to Bicester North and get a train from there. Do I need two separate...

Hi More London advice needed! I want to buy a day travelcard for Sunday, which I think means I can apply a Network Railcard discount. Does this have to be purchased from a National Rail station (and does Old Street count?). If so, could I do it in advance or only on Sunday? Thanks all...

Hi I have some complicated London travel coming up and wanted to check I wasn't missing anything. I want to go from Paddington to Hatfield on a weekday around 3pm, then return to Old Street around 7. I'll then do two zone 1 tube journeys that evening. I think the cheapest way to do this is...

Hi all Just wanted to check an assumption - I have a day travelcard (zones 1-6) but am travelling to and from Hatfield. I therefore have purchased a day return from the boundary of zone 6 to Hatfield using the forum's ticket site. Am I right in thinking this can be used on any southbound train...

If a train is delayed, and I choose not to travel, I understand I'm entitled to a refund of the ticket. If the journey was to be covered by the return leg of a day return ticket, is the refund due (before admin charge) half of the price of the ticket, or the difference between a day single and a...

I’m on a very crowded five coach Paddington service which just left Oxford. It’s standing room only including down the middle of the train, and the situation has not been helped by two RPIs who at Oxford prevented people boarding between D (half first) and E (all first), fairly aggressively...

A long shot this, I think. I left a couple of items of sentimental value to myself - not worth much to anyone else - on an Elizabeth Line train last Thursday. I've filled in the online form for TFL lost property and have fingers crossed. Is there anything else anyone can think I could do to...

Hi all I just picked up tickets for a journey tomorrow from the ticket machine. They include an advance from Oxford to Underground zone 1-2, which I want to use to get to Finsbury Park. The itinerary I have includes a change at Didcot, presumably because that made the advance fare possible...

Another complicated day I’m hoping there might be a simple solution for. On 10/2, I want to do the following: Denham - Barons Court Barons Court - Hatfield Hatfield - Oxford All off peak (after 10am, avoiding evening peak). I have a network railcsrd Feels like something like an oxford -...

Hoping someone can help with a query I thought would be straightforward, but which appears difficult to find definitive answers for. Do Cross-country offer a weekend first upgrade? If so, how are costs determined? I can't find anything on their website.

I got useful advice about travelling around London last time I posted so I wondered if anyone has a creative solution for this: On Sat 18/1 I want to travel from Oxford to Hatfield. Then I will go (via a lift) to St Albans. Then I want to go St Albans to zone 1, then after a break back to...

Hello I am confused about the best value for travel tomorrow. I'm going from Oxford - London, where I will use the tube at least twice and possibly more often. Between meetings in zone 1, I need to go to Epsom and back. Should I just use contactless for all the London journeys (including the...

Hi all I'm hoping for some help from people who understand the routing guide! I want to travel from Oxford - Manchester on the morning of 19th Sep, spend the day there then go to Lancaster, stay overnight, then continue to Edinburgh the next morning. I will be returning to Lancaster from...

I'm travelling Paddington to Oxford tonight, on a Off-Peak Return with restriction FO. This forbids travel before 19:00 - but the 18.57 is late, expected at 19.12. Can I use this train? Or is it still 'peak' because it was timetabled before 19.00. The language on the NRE site seems to suggest...

I know that if I use my Network Railcard to buy a ticket for someone else, I need to travel with them. But do we need the same ticket? I'm travelling from X to Y, both within the Network area, and will have an off peak return. A colleague is coming back with me from Y to X and will buy an off...

Hello. I need some advice about ticket exchange; I hold a super off peak from Hexham to Oxford dated tomorrow. I may want to come back this afternoon, and I think the ticket should be exchangeable for a super off peak for today (for a fee?). The twist is I won’t decide until after the Hexham...

I’m currently on a train holding an advance single. I’d like to get off one stop earlier than planned. Am I right that the worst that can happen is an excess, presumably to the off peak single between the station I boarded and my new destination?
