    I was travelling from Litchfield to Euston yesterday with my partner. We boarded the Sardine Express to Euston. I got on the train, we were crammed in like Sardines. It was like a 3rd world service - the only difference was that people were not sitting on the roof. The train guard did...

    What is the cheapest way of getting from Cheam to Worthing today please? There's RRB's from Sutton to East Croydon And there's no trains from West Sutton. Ideally I'd like to avoid the RRB's and Clapham Junction if possible. As I know CLJ increases the fare cost. I have a 26 to 30 railcard...

    Cheapest way of getting from Cheam to Worthing

    It seems unfair that going Worthing > Cheam is cheaper than going Cheam>Worthing Also unfair is the additional cost if I choose to change at Clapham Junction. I'm after the cheapest options on a day-return, plus a return within one month ticket. With a 26-30 railcard. Ideally going via...

    I've got to make a few train journeys over the next few days. I will be buying tickets with a 26-30 railcard. However, as it is digital only, and my smartphone has died, how am I meant to prove I have the railcard? I will be without my smartphone for at least the next 4 days, all I have is a...
