It's been 4 or 5 years since I bought one of these but you used to be able to get a 7 ( or mayge it was 8 ) in 14 days rover. Now it seems that if you want more than 4 rail journeys or you want them to last more than 7 days then you have to buy 2. Or am I missing something ?
Specifically...
I got an Advance Single ticket ages ago. The Virgin trains seat reservation covers up to Preston. However is I stay on the Virgin train until Wigan North Western it's an easier change with the opportunity to take a break. I catch the same Northern Rail service from Preston but at Wigan if I do...
Through no fault of mine my band had to revoke my card & issue me with a new one. The bank advised me to destroy the old card which I did.
The new card has a different number on the front and valid from / expiry date & 3 digit security code on the back.
Problem is I ordered some tickets...
Yes I know there is the Freedom of the North East but it covers a heck of an area & I wouldn't want to travel further than 2 hours from York.
Any cheaper alternatives with a reduced area centered around York ?
Thanks.
This is for people over 55 like me. it is available until 31st March but I want to travel at Easter. Are they likely to extend this so it covers me & I'm just trying to book too early ? Not expecting the offer to be available during the School summer holidays but upto mid April would do me.
I WAS planning on going from Liverpool to Oban on Thursday 5 April until I saw the prices. I've found that using ticket splitting at Glasgow cheaper but on that day it's sixty odd quid single. same on the Wednesday before Good Friday.
If I go on the Tuesday I can get the cheap tickets. Is...
Out Sat 16/4
Yes I can get to Birmingham New St for £9.
As an added complexity I will be getting a Freedom of Devon & Cornwall 8 in 15 day rover. There is no way I'll use 8 journeys so I am quite prepared to use 1 from Tiverton Parkway to Liskeard.
I will be spending a few nights in Liskeard...
Looking to book this using Advance Single for late March which is within the timescale for these tickets. Coming up as £42.50 One way. Over the festive period I booked a journey of almost the same distance from Liverpool - Glasgow £15. Again Advance Single, also £15 the return leg.
So why is it...
Went to Scotland 3 times last year. March, June & September. Got cheap Advance Single tickets in all cases but I needed to travel mid-week on a Tue Wed or Thu. Booked well in advance near the 12 week limit.
Trying to book now for early March, but realised that is just outside the 12 week...
Travelling next Wednesday, probably early. With the 50% off London Midland prices, what is the cheapest return I can get ? Obviously I must use another TOC other than London Midland to get all the way to Bristol. Returning the same day.
I'll be getting one of these in July. It's the usual 4 in 8 days format for rail, but offers unlimited travel by bus "within the country" for the full 8 days.
I'll also be getting a Railpass from my home in Liverpool to Chester, which is the most northerly point of the rover, for the duration...
I'm visiting friends in Garelochhead in June. Potential dates for rail travel are;
Thu 3rd June
Fri 4th June
Mon 7th June
Tue 8th June
2 places I definately want to go are Oban & Fort William. I can make some savings on Oban by buying 2 Advance Singles for £17.20, but try as I might I...
