I am travelling on Thursday 4th June from Padgate to Liverpool at 18.15, then at 23.15 from Liverpool to Wigan. This is apparently possible by splitting at Warrington - Anytime Day Single from Padgate to Warrington and then Anytime Day Single from Warrington to Wigan. £6.70 with Senior Railcard...
I am looking at travelling from Wigan to Glasgow on 21st February 2026 and back on 23rd February 2026.
Outward (Saturday) there don't seem to be any Avanti tickets available but there are for the return (Monday). TPE available on both dates.
Any idea why that would be for the Saturday?
Good afternoon. Does anyone know if there is a service between Wigan and Wolverhampton on 29th and 30th December? I'm not doing the journey if it's RRBs. I could go via Manchester or Liverpool if necessary.
Travelling on Saturday 16th August
Warrington to Todmorden, canal walk to Hebden Bridge, train back to Warrington. Maybe break journey in Manchester on way back.
2 adults - one 55, one 57. Not got Two Together Railcard.
Because of possible breaks of journey, advances don't look sensible...
I have just had a Delay Repay claim rejected by Northern as follows.
Now, there was a replacement bus that left Man Vic at 23.25 arriving in Wigan at 00.37, so between 30-59 minutes late. I wouldn't have even considered a refund as I completed the journey and not even that late all things...
A friend has asked for advice for a 70 year old travelling from Bolton to London outward on 4th May, return on 5th May. I know there is a tube strike on 4th May.
No railcard held (but obviously likely worth getting just for this one trip).
Not too worried about an early start on the Saturday...
Any idea why there have been between 15 and 20 First Manchester double decker buses heading North today? All empty, no destination indicated. Still seeing them in Lanarkshire!
I'd appreciate any help you experts can provide...
Bought tickets via Trainsplit.
Travelling Thursday 7th March.
Tickets as follows:-
Leighton Buzzard to Rugby - return of Off Peak Day Return, route Any Permitted

17.52 Milton Keynes to Rugby
Rugby to...
An off peak day return from Newcastle to Alnmouth is £13.40. It has restriction code B3 which I think is just off peak. I presume I can break journey at Morpeth (only want to do this on outward)?
In the afternoon there is a gap in trains back and planners seem to send you via Berwick. Is that...
Is a couple of hours long enough to wander around Morpeth? Maybe taking in a coffee.
And are tickets to Alnmouth (from Newcastle or Morpeth) really valid via Berwick?
1. Is a Bolton to Todmorden off peak day return valid via Blackburn and/or Manchester? I think I know the answer is yes to this.
2. Is a break of journey possible on both legs? Again, I think yes.
3. If breaking journey in Manchester on the return, could you arrive into Victoria, then go into...
I've got a TPE Club55 first class return from Preston to Glasgow on Saturday 3rd December (£36!!). Notwithstanding the possibility that most of the trains might not run on that day as TPE are not the most reliable of operators at present...
What suggestions do people have for 11.30am or maybe...
Request from my nephew.
I've used Trainsplit to get £45-£48 without getting into Crewe after midnight!
Can any of the experts get it below £40?
Norwich to Crewe/Stoke/Congleton
Thursday 13th October afternoon/evening from Norwich, returning on Sunday 16th in the afternoon.
16-25 railcard...
I know this will sound silly as there is an obvious quick route, but is a weekly season ticket between Wigan and Crewe valid on any routes other than the WCML via Warrington BQ?
If you need to claim for Delay Repay for four separate passengers travelling together, but with separate tickets, does each of the passengers have to claim or can one person do it for all?
I've got Advance Singles on Tuesday and Thursday for TPE services, but purchased via TrainSplit. I have one booking reference.
If I decide not to travel on Tuesday (heat and all that), then the Thursday ticket is also no use.
1. Who do I get a refund from?
2. Am I entitled to money back or...
I am soon to travel Wigan to Newcastle as follows (tickets purchased via TrainSplit, so I have itinerary etc).
07.38 Wigan to Preston, Avanti Off Peak Day Single
08.03 Preston to Carlisle, AP TPE only
09.22 Carlisle to Newcastle, AP Northern only
Scenario 1. In the not unlikely event of the...
I think this is impossible, but I said I'd ask....
"I want to go from Warrington to Adlington (Cheshire) Sunday 24th July, arriving pre. 09:30 and returning after 17:00. I've tried to look but not having any luck. Maybe because it's a Sunday?"
If people on here say no, then I know it'll be...
I know that prior to pandemic, Newton-le-Willows car park was always full with commuters. Is this still the case on a weekday morning (a Tuesday)? And how long can you stay? I think it is free, isn't it?
