Unsure of how common it is, but took a very interesting photo on my way to work this morning. With the Borderlands line service in tatters (2 out of 3 diagrams heavily delayed), my train arrived in platform 1 - I did not even know there was track for trains from the Borderlands line to access...

Hi all, I am looking to travel from Shotton to Blackpool North over a couple of days.The two available fares are as follows: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=SHT&dest=BPN&rte=311&tkt=SOR (A more expensive anytime return, routed "via Liverpool")...

Hi all, I have a few questions relating to certain excesses. Firstly, can a travelcard from a station outside London (e.g https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=NRW&dest=EUS&grpd=0035&rlc=YNG&tkt=ODT ) be excessed at all, or is it considered a "multi journey ticket"? Secondly, if I wished to...

Hi everyone. Currently in a bit of a weird situation, I am travelling on 1H72 https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C31644/2024-09-15/detailed#allox_id=0 from Euston to Crewe with a non-stop split of a super off peak day return to Northampton and a West Midlands Day Ranger which is...

Hi all, just a quick question. Does anybody know whether if using buses and trams within greater Manchester if there is a contactless cap equivalent to the cost of an "AnyBus + Tram" ticket? When searching online I could only find reference to tram capping at the cost of a travelcard, so I...

Hi all, I hold an advance single as an e-ticket for travel from Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury on Monday 6th November. I want to travel onwards to London using the following fare: https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=SHR&dest=EUS&rlc=YNG&rte=371&tkt=OPS (Super off peak single routed LnW/TfW...

Hi all. I will be travelling to London for the day in the near future, due to travelling from and returning to different destinations, the cheapest way I have found to do this seems to be to split using a West Midlands Day Ranger. The tickets I intend to use are as follows: West Midlands Day...

I assume this is not permitted, but when traveling between stations with two different route options, would you be able to change your route mid-way through your journey if you were still on both routes. IE, for lots of cross country flows with a via London route, would you be able to travel...

In West Wales, Clarbeston Road is a request stop station, however, one morning train from Fishguard terminates there and returns back to Fishguard where it forms a Cardiff service. Are there any other examples of a station where some or all other trains call only on request being used as a...

Hi all, this has probably been posted many times before, but I am wondering what the best option is for a Daytrip around London Z1-6 (and how much extra it would cost for Z7-9 to be included). I will be arriving off the Highland Caledonian Sleeper (approx 8am), so well before the off peak cap...

Recently, I boarded a train that had run its previous working empty, presumably because of a lack of guard. Whilst I believe that in an ideal world, the train would run with staff, surely a train that was DOO running would be better then no train at all. So my question is, would it be viable...

Purely a hypothetical question, but assuming I had return tickets from X to Y, but was delayed extensively enough on the outbound to miss my intended return trip, would I be entitled to delay repay for both the outbound and return (presumably I would, with the caveat I would have to take the...

Today, I misplaced my railcard after arriving at my destination (significantly far from home). I have tried unsuccessfully to retrieve it, and think it was likely dropped at the station, however, I was informed the lost property office was closed and I would have to come back tomorrow. I am...

Assuming I (hypothetically) held an anytime day single from Flint to Crewe, would I be able to start short from Shotton on the 05:22 service. Obviously, in practice it would be impossible for be to actually have come from Flint and broken my journey at Shotton, however, the rules still infer the...

Hi. I'm intending to travel to/from Chester and Newbury; I am using a 16-25 railcard. My intended itinerary is as follows. Sunday 21st July: 17:35-17:53 (Chester-Crewe, offpeak return (£11.50)) 18:16-20:32 (Crewe- London Euston, advance (£5.95!)) And, the part I am worried about, tube to...
