Son travelling today on the 1132 Winchester to Birmingham International, then onwards to Shrewsbury. Just asked for the £85.30 off-peak single Winchester to Shrewsbury (route + Birmingham) at the BO window (screen shot sent by me so he was fully equipped to ask for the correct ticket). Clerk...

Just watched a YouTube video of trains at Rugby filmed on 25/5/1988 which included a shot of 47323 on a southbound loaded MGR. Trying to recall what that flow would have been?

Doing the above trip on Friday 19/7 returning Monday 22/7. 'BR Fares' show a £55.90 Off Peak return and £41.35 Super Off Peak return (with DSB railcard), route High Wycombe. These fares have been around for years IIRC but I cannot seem to get any TOC website to show the fare to buy. Any ideas...

Seems it’s possible to buy a Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton advance single with 16-25 railcard for a train at 0730 on a weekday and pay under £12.00. I always thought fares were rounded up to the minimum fare if the RC discount took them under the threshold. Now the issue is my friend has had a...

These posters appear to be all over the TfW network. I'm on the Cambrian and I'm wondering how these are not in breach of some regulation or other. How can it be 'the law' at (for example) Penrhyndeudraeth where I snapped this shot? It is unstaffed with no TVM. I presume the rule still applies...

Help please if possible. Can Eastleigh ticket office sell tickets for the car park at the station or is it a case of buying at a machine? I need to park there from 1500 Friday to 0900 Monday. A weekend ticket seems to exist for £7.90 valid from 1400 Friday. SWR website doesn't say when this...

Is there an Open Top tour/service bus running in Portsmouth currently?

Do any experts have any suggestions for excessing a SVR Manchester to London Terminals return portion to enable use on the 0910 Euston to Crewe. It has a 2C restriction so currently no good until 0927. There are some SSR tickets with ‘pre 0906’ restrictions such as to Marsden ‘any permitted’...

I have found an old photo of a visit I made to Rugeley Power Station open day. I'm stood on the steps of loco 20163 in Railfreight Grey livery. A class 56 and a 47 in the same liveries are behind. From Google I can see that 58039 was named 'Rugeley Power Station' on Saturday 13/9/86. Can...

A friend of mine has regularly travelled from Rugeley Trent Valley to Chester using a £23.40 SVR (code 2T) and to Liverpool using a £30.40 SVR (code CS) and has always got an itinerary via Birmingham New Street. He appreciates that he could travel directly to Crewe in both cases from Rugeley...

My daughter will be travelling on Saturday 7/4/18 from Shrewsbury to Slough returning the next day. A nice simple journey with one change at Hereford is possible leaving at 1115 arriving at 1508 into Slough, returning on Sunday leaving Slough at 1305 arriving at 1723 into Shrewsbury. I can see...

Am I correct in assuming that a £35.50 Super Off Peak Return ticket from Shrewsbury (SHR) to Marylebone (MYB) with restriction code 'PV' is not valid for break of journey (or terminating short) at Wembley Stadium (WCX) ?

Can anyone confirm a couple of things regards the above ticket please? Am I correct in that it can only be issued by staffed stations in West Yorkshire? Am I also correct in that there is no PRIV discount? Many thanks.

I'm looking to travel from Bangor (BNG) to Pickering on Monday 19/3/18 returning Wednesday 21/3/18. The Coastliner bus website states: "Whitby, Pickering, Flamingo Land, Eden Camp - From any staffed Rail Station in the country, passengers may purchase Single or Return tickets to any of these...

Whilst I have visited London a few times in the last 10 years or so for a specific reason, I haven't really spent any time just travelling around for the sheer pleasure of it! I find myself with the opportunity of a Fri/Sat/Sun stay in the Kings Cross area in February. So far I have three...

This may be of interest to someone? As the FR are part of the ATOC staff travel scheme the successful applicant would get National Rail PRIV after 6 months service too. Retail Merchandising Supervisor The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways are looking to recruit a Retail Merchandising...
