I am looking at booking a journey from Utrecht to Paris, via Rotterdam (more expensive) or Brussels (cheap). HOTNAT appears to cover NS and Eurostar. I'm concerned about NS being late and missing the eurostar. I have three scenarios: 1. I buy a fixed-train ticket from Utrecht from Brussels on...

I have noticed today using Trainsplit (and subsequently checked on BR Fares) that Groupsave-discounted fares are 5p lower than Railcard-discounted fares. I assume this is because Groupsave is still a 34% discount, whereas Railcards are now 33.34%. I don't think this is intentional, is anyone...

About 3 weeks ago I went on a journey from Southampton to Lisbon & Porto by train. This was my first time abroad on individual tickets (rather than an Interrail) I set off at 13:00 on 20th March on an advance ticket from Southampton to Waterloo (£6.05). The platform seemed very busy but I got...

I am planning on travelling on this daily train from Mockava to Warsaw on 28th May, but it's not appearing in journey planners at all that week (it is for the week before or week after). Does anyone have any further information about if (and why) it is or isn't running? I can't find anything...

Various alternatives to one-country or global Interrail tickets come up in this forum every so often, so I thought it would be useful to compile a list / price comparison between national unlimited travel tickets, and interrail tickets. These are the countries I've done so far: Belgium Czechia...

A while ago I noticed, while standing on the H&C platforms at Paddington that the platform clocks on the underground were showing different times to the National Rail platform clocks. Today, I noticed at Vauxhall that the Victoria Line platform clock was about 8 or 9 minutes behind "actual...

I'm planning to take this sleeper in January with a couchette with an Interrail ticket. I've tried to look at how to book it and I can't work it out. The Czech Railways website will let me buy a ticket but only a reservation in seat (not couchette). OEBB.at won't let me buy any kind of ticket or...

I couldn't find a definitive answer for this on the forum but I'm sure it's been answered before. My friend has to travel from Cambridge to SWR land tomorrow on an advance ticket. Obviously it's going to be hell trying to go on the tube. Are they allowed to take Thameslink from St Pancras to...

I've been looking at flying out from a London airport (any of them) on the 4th and 14th of July, arriving at the airport late morning. A week ago when I first looked there were decently priced advances from Stroud / Gloucester / Cheltenham to Stansted, Gatwick and Luton. When I look now, these...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-60293650 An "error" has led to incorrect fares data being fed into the system. Could these be the prices for the March fares increase?

I'm planning to make a Journey from Clapham Junction to Barking or Dagenham Dock on Saturday using Oyster. I am planning to go via the GOBLIN as I haven't been that way before and there's a via Gospel Oak fare which is much cheaper than the default. The potential problem is that the journey...

I've now encountered the situation a few times where none of a journey's routeing points pass the fare check rule, mainly because "No fares defined at NFM64". What happens here? Are you only allowed the shortest route +3 miles? What if there is only 1 origin routeing point and 1 destination...

I was trying to find out when SWR would release their advance tickets for purchase after restrictions ease, and this is on their website: This makes it seem like there won't be any advance tickets available on those weekends. Is this correct? Or will they just be released later? Any help would...

I've just tried to access the routeing guide at http://data.atoc.org/routeing-guide It doesn't work and just gives the attached error: Does anyone know what's wrong or when it will be back up?

Yesterday (17/10) I was on 2P82 2219 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo. I was travelling back to Southampton and planned to change at Hilsea and then take 2E76 2233 Portsmouth to Southampton Central. However, the door opened slightly and then got stuck. I didn't try to force it open because...

Mods - feel free to move During lockdown, I have been working on some software to automatically diagram train service (existing schedules, i.e. finding out which services a particular train will do next). I thought some on this forum would appreciate some automated way of doing it instead, so...
