Hi All, I've not been able to find clear information on this via the SWR website. It's all a little vague and focused on travelling out of London. I am travelling from Parkstone (Dorset) back to East Croydon, via Clapham Junction. I have a super off peak open return. Some information...

Hi All, I'm trying to clarify the fare costs for my 14 year old with a Zip Oyster card that makes sure she gets the cild fares when travelling with her Oyster card across London. We do a journey from St Pancras to Norwood Junction and TFL Fare finder says it will be £0.95 off peak and £2.65...

Hi All, I typically travel via Greater Anglia, but occasionally use other trains (when going to Kent or Dorset for example). I have been buying all my tickets via the Greater Anglia site, as it's the one I use the most and am used to the layout etc, but if a 'delay repay' issue occurs and I'm...

Hi All, My teenager is travelling alone for the first time and going on the high speed train from Ashford to St Pancras is much less scary for them, so we are starting with that. I will meet them at St Pancras and travel on Thameslink back to Norwood Junction. This will be this Friday...

Hi All, If I bought a return from Ashford International to St Pancras International, can I exit at Stratford International on the outbound journey, but return from St Pancras? Where I need to be is better for Stratford on the way up but when I come back a couple of days later, St Pancras is...

Hi All, I'm travelling from East Croydon to Poole on 27th December for family Xmas events, and have realised there is disruption around Woking/Basingstoke meaning all the trains seems to be redirecting via Havant and taking a lot longer. I wonder if anyone has ideas for a different route to...

Hi All, I’ve seen a few threads around this topic but am hoping for clarification on what is needed when travelling to Wimbledon station just on the tram. I’ll be starting at Woodside tram stop, going to Wimbledon, leaving the station to meet someone, then returning by the exact same route...

Hi All, I’ve got to start regularly going to Ashford International from where I am in Norwood Junction. I can get a direct Thameslink train to St Pancras, but also go via the Overground / Underground to Stratford (London) and walk to Stratford International. The only reason to do Stratford...

Hi All, I’ve got to change at St Pancras between Thameslink from Norwood Junction and High Speed train to Ashford International. I don’t know St Pancras at all, can anyone advise how long I need to give to get between the two platforms? And the best route to take? Thanks!

Hi All, I'm looking for the cheapest day return from Bromley South to Ashford International. One adult and one child, with a network railcard. The ticketing site here comes up with £26.40, but Trainline gives me £22.44 with this "Kids-for-a-quid Return". OR if I use the Greater Anglia site (the...

Hi All, I’ve potentially got to go to Orpington from Norwood Junction, pick up my child from the station and then come straight back again. Any thoughts on the fastest way to do this? I’m walking distance from Norwood Junction or Elmers End stations, and can also tram/ bus to Penge or...

Hi All, I’m looking for the best routes from Norwood Junction to Ashford International. I would’ve thought one stop from Norwood Junction to London Bridge, and then a faster train from there to Ashford International would be a good option.. but it isn’t ever offered. I can find plenty of...

Hi All, My physical Network Railcard runs out on 23rd October, and I would like to renew it to start again from the next day, or just a couple of days before. But there seems to be no option to choose a start day on the railcard website.. Am I missing something? And if not, is there a work...

Hi All, I'm potentially travelling from South Norwood to London Bridge to meet someone, give them something they forgot at my house, and then come back. I wont leave the station and will come straight back again. Any ideas what fare I'll be charged?

Hi All, I booked an advance single direct between East Croydon and Southampton Central for 26th August. It’s the long way round but direct and a lot cheaper than going via Clapham Junction. But now the strikes mean that they have cancelled the train. The email I got said I could take the...

Hi All, Hypothetical question - If I'm travelling from South East London (Hither Green, Catford or even Croydon) to London Bridge using Oyster or contactless to then cycle to Liverpool Street to catch advanced booked train, and am delayed on that first part of the journey and don't make the...

Hi All, I'm looking to move to south east London but my work means I need to regularly get a train at Stratford. I've heard that I can get to the jubilee line from Waterloo East, as it connects directly to Southwark. Is this true, can I do that connection as a single oyster or contactless...

Hello, I am planning a short film that is set on a train, and longitudinal seating is what will work best to tell the story. I am London based and the Underground trains are the obvious choice but they wouldn't work as a character talks on his mobile phone in the story and that's not possible...
