According to the Greater Anglia website, the West Anglia line is closed between Audley End and Cambridge North, Thurs 16 April to Fri 17 April https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/travel-information/service-alterations/cambridge-north-audley-end-15 But their Journey Planner seems to show direct...

Is it mandatory to carry a copy of an itinerary with you when travelling? OK, sometimes a whole itinerary can be reconstructed from the printed seat reservation information, but often it can't. Am I obliged to be able to produce my itinerary if there's any sort of dispute about using a certain...

Not sure if this is a question about the Forum's booking site, or my stupidity - you can be the judges... Family members staying with us in Cambridge are going to London tomorrow and will need off-peak Day Travelcards for 2 adults and one (6-year-old) child. For maximum flexibility (and speed)...

Spotted this when following up on another post on the Forum. I believe that internal guidance on travelling with Advance Tickets say, inter alia, that LNER require holders of First Advances to pay a £5 supplement to use their lounges. But LNER themselves contradict this. First Advance ticket...

According to the 1BWS publicity: "You can only use a 1bws ticket on those services starting or finishing in Wales and operating direct to Chester, Ellesmere Port or Whitchurch (Shropshire)." Does that mean you can (or should be able to) buy it from a driver in Chester, etc, or is only valid in...

Last Monday (30 May) I purchased a "Greater Anglia only" Off-Peak Day Return (CDR) from Cambridge to London Liverpool St - with a Senior Railcard - for £13.30. The ticket's actually issued to London Terminals, but the GA limitation effectively means LST. I see from the outbound ticket that it...

NRE reports that there's some engineering work between Ely and Stansted Airport over the weekend of 11-12 December. Changes to services, and details of RRBs aren't currently in the Journey Planner, just warning triangles. But the NRE notice says this affects only Cross Country. And it's...

So here I am dealing with my first train ticket booking since, er, March 2020! It's for a St Neots-Leeds trip on 15 July - so well in advance of travel. No problem booking advance tickets (via trainsplit.com - but NB no splitting is involved in this trip). GA ticket machines at CBG wouldn't...

There's been an announcement on the Greater Anglia website, the National Rail site, and doubtless loads of other places (apps, other sites) that use their data feeds, saying that: Last Weds I emailed GA (which manages CBG) pointing out that there is no such lift, so either the platform numbers...

I was wondering if anyone knew how much bus operators receive from their local council for each use of a senior bus pass (ENCTS card)? Let's limit it to England, to reduce the complications. Does each council set its own rate, perhaps? Over the years I've heard wildly different figures, to the...

This question relates to a CBG-HSL Off-Peak Return (SVR). Restriction Y4 applies, but that limits only the timea of travel and on weekdays (no weekend restrictions. The routeing guidance is that travel is permitted by "any permitted route". My question relates to a HSL-CBG journey on Sunday...

Lightning has resulted in there being no trains at present between Newmarket and Cambridge. Greater Anglia are putting on rail replacement buses to Cambridge North (not on their rail route from Newmarket), but NOT to Cambridge's main station (which is where Ipswich services normally terminate)...

There's a negative easement that reads: "Customers travelling from Shelford via Royston to London Kings X, may not travel via Cambridge. This easement applies in both directions." How, then, should one travel from Shelford to King's Cross (via Royston)? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the...

So earlier today I was looking to buy an Advance Single from Glasgow to Cambridge, for travel on 16 Nov. That's just over 12 weeks away, so I was interested to see what would happen. The National Rail Journey Planner wouldn't give either times or fares for that date. Too far ahead. Reasonable...

Does anyone know (or can hazard an informed guess...) why ATW uniquely still isn't offering Advance fares beyond 29? All other operators (I'm pretty sure it's "all") are now booking Advance fares into September. But ATW has been "stuck" on 29 July for some time. Which is annoying as I'm planning...

I'd be interested to hear from those of you with rather more expertise in these matters than me (which is most of you, perhaps...). At the weekend I was looking to purchase the cheapest possible single from Cambridge to Wolverhampton. On a specific day, and with an "arrive by" time in mind. My...
