Sent by a friend. I assume this happened yesterday (Saturday 29th August):- Any insight would be appreciated, ta.

I intend to take a wee journey on the above tomorrow. Is there a hop on hop off type of ticket that would allow me to explore the various stops? I'm interested in the eastern section for this trip. Any worthwhile pubs (with or without food options) near the stops? TIA.

There is currently an active thread regarding a passenger who inadvertently failed to pick up his tickets prior to boarding. Some TOCs allow on train pick up, others don't. Should those that don't, often because they wish to discourage on train pick up, offer it but with an on train...

As the title suggests: a colleague is trying to connect with the Isle of Man Steam Packet ferry from Liverpool to Douglas. His first train would be 1M81, the 06:12 from Edinburgh to Manchester Airport. He would be alighting at Preston connecting to Liverpool Lime Street, then Liverpool James...

My colleague recently lost an unregistered Oyster card. I informed him that that's just like losing cash, once it's gone it's gone. Am I correct in that assumption. If he could find the number of the card could the balance (about £15) be refunded? Could the card be blocked to stop another...

Is is possible/practical to travel from St. Malo in Brittany to Charleroi in Belgium by way of using TER services? Breaking the journey overnight would not be an issue, and avoiding Paris a bonus - but not essential. I would be arriving at St. Malo Port at 08:15 ex the overnight ferry from...

London experts! As the title says, how much would a day return cost on a a Saturday for two adults and two children (assume under 16) between Rickmansworth and Wembley. Thanks.

Background, for the past few years I've been helping an older neighbour obtain his travel tickets to travel to London for his annual health check. This has proved relatively simple with us both attending our local station, handing over the booking reference, inserting the associated bankcard...

I understand why the above discount is enabled on certain Scottish flows where travel on a non ScotRail service is available. However, why would it be available on the Linlithgow to Edinburgh or Gleneagles to Glasgow flow? There may be other incidences too.

Could a system be developed that links a passengers digital railcard, regardless of where purchased, into the digital ticket issuing system? Something very similar to the Trainline system. Then, as both could be scanned together the more positive scans received results in fewer requests for the...

I increasingly noticing the above phenomenon when a passenger is attempting to pay with their phone that the transaction stalls and a requirement for the physical card to be inserted or swiped is made. The passenger in these cases, invariably, does not actually have the physical card on their...

I have previously purchased and used a special Øresund Rundfarht(?) ticket- aka a round the sound ticket. This gave, IIRC, two days travel on public transport within the Skäne province of southern Sweden, travel in the Greater København area including the train to Helsingør, plus ONE trip on...

Are tickets from origins east of Edinburgh to Edinburgh valid to Edinburgh Park?

I've only recently noticed, despite living in the locale, that SD Travel run a fairly regular service from Bathgate via Linlithgow to Livingston and v.v.. Like many bus operators there is a paucity of fare information to be found on line. Does anyone know if they offer a day ticket, and if so...

Who owns the rail track at UWCs where the land on both sides is owned by the same landowner? Can that landowner be charged with trespass if they remain on the track at "their" crossing?

A colleague will be arriving at Brussels Airport railway station after the closing time of the booking office (20:00). What are his options to purchase a FIP (@75%) discounted ticket after that time. He will be travelling to Brugge. Can he purchase at a ticket machine or on board the train? I...

Recent media reports highlight the fact that passengers find railcard minimum fares confusing. This confusion can have serious unintended consequences - including potential court action. To protect the travelling public is it not about time we scrapped the minimum fare and replaced it with a...

There are a fair few passengers that travel from Edinburgh Airport via the tramlink to Edinburgh Gateway, thence to Leuchars for the bus link to St. Andrews. A through ticket is available from Edinburgh Airport to Leuchars OR from Edinburgh Gateway to St. Andrews. But, AFAIAA, there is no...

What would be the cheapest option for a passenger wishing to travel 1st class from Bishopbriggs [BBG] to Edinburgh [EDB] via Glasgow Queen Street [GLQ]? Supplementary information: the passenger wishes to travel on the 09:15 departure from GLQ and would be returning from EDB after the evening...

The expectation is that the return of peak fares will just follow the previous system. Could this forum suggest a better system? Over to you.
