First time using the Elizabeth Line into London from Heathrow today. Naively booked a specific service on the LNER website and it sold me a ticket for the service with our two together railcard. Printed it off and it was a zone 1-6 single to Farringdon (our intended destination). Refused by...

Anyone know if/when Eurostar plan on adding more services to the schedule? Looking at doing two trips in October and November and still only offering two departures a day to Paris (at terrible times if travelling from oop north). Surely given travel to France is without restriction for the...

Supposed to be heading to London on Thursday with my wife for a show in the evening. Travelling from Brighouse to London on GC on advance tickets with a two together railcard. Unfortunately, my wife now has to go to a funeral in Belgium so can't travel down with me but is hoping to get back to...

Off to London tomorrow for the day and purchased a super off-peak return the other night. I could do with picking something up from a shop near Manchester on the way down. Would I be allowed to go via Manchester and travel into Euston on Virgin or would it not be a reasonable route? Thanks...

Hi All, Northern strike tomorrow so the usual Huddersfield to Sheffield stopper on a pacer is cancelled. Can I still buy a ticket valid for that and travel via Leeds as exceptional circumstances despite the ticket stating it is not valid via Leeds? Will be using TPE to Leeds and CC from Leeds...

Looking to book a return from Huddersfield to London for 14th June and returning on the 15th June. None of the search engines have advance fares available but if I use Mirfield, Brighouse, Manchester, Leeds or Wakefield, they all have availability to London. Even Slaithwaite does! Any ideas...

With the East Coast franchise up in the air (as well as the Transpennine electrification debacle) does anyone know if there is still a plan to launch Huddersfield to London direct services on the East Coast? Virgin & Stagecoach said it would be starting in 2019 when they took the franchise on...

Currently Southern run a 18.26 VIC-BTN service which misses Gatwick but there's a 18.32 GEX VIC-BTN service just 6 minutes later. If I'm reading the National Rail timetable correctly, the 18.26 will become a Southern service calling only at Gatwick (and terminating there) and the 18.32...

Without wanting to resurrect the GEX/Southern Only debate too much, I'm travelling from Victoria to Gatwick tonight and coming back tomorrow afternoon. I've had a Brighton season ticket for years but it's expired so have to buy a ticket this evening. If I buy a "Southern Only" ticket (£3...

Hi All, This evening a friend was visiting me in Brighton. She was coming down on the 18:26 Southern service to Brighton from Victoria. Sadly tonight that service was cancelled. I asked Southern on Twitter if she could travel on a "Southern Only" or "Not Gatwick Express" ticket on the...

I've tried to book a few journeys tonight for future travel on Southern and the 12% discount for online booking seems to have disappeared from the booking "matrix" as does every reference to it on the site? Does anyone know if this is now policy and if it was announced? Pretty big kick for...

The 8.26 St Panc to Paris train was delayed at Ebbsfleet yesterday for a security alert, shocking scenes of organisation and communication from Eurostar as per normal. Stopped at Ebbsfleet to pick up and ended up sitting there for a good 20 minutes before the announcement came that there was...

Only realised last night that Southern have started refreshing their 377s. The interior of 377116 had totally been done up in their green colours but retaining the old Connex style tables in all four carriages rather than the ironing board seats. Was a lot nicer and lighter and spacious than...

Anyone else experienced problems with Southern getting the doors shut on Class 442s? Had it happen to myself a few times within the last few months on the 22.19 service from Brighton to East Croydon which I'm a regular on and seen a few come to grief at East Croydon with the same problem. Had...

Has anyone been from Bar to Belgrade? It's supposed to be one of the most stunning rail journeys in Europe and information is tricky to find outside of Seat 61 and sketchy guidebook reports. Heard the journey can be unreliable which I don't mind and the infrastructure is in an awful state...

Hello Everyone, Been meaning to join for a while but never got round to it. Got into a ruck with two FCC staff last night and I wanted to know if I stood a chance of appeal on the following letter which explains the situation.... I'm mainly so annoyed because of the lack of consistency and...
