I currently have an Advance ticket to travel from Leamington Spa to Marylebone today. Will Chiltern relax the restrictions due to the line blockage between Leamington and Banbury, or should I turn up near the time of my advance ticket? By the sounds of NRE just now they're only at the stage of...

Hi all, Got a bit of a last minute trip so can't take advantage of any advance tickets or anything. Leaving Coventry today (afternoon), coming back either Friday / Saturday. Ideally would like to head into Yeovil Junction. Have a Young Persons Railcard, and the through fare is £43.70...

Yesterday I was at Castle Cary at about 20:30. I saw at least 1 SWT train (and possibly another). I was wandering if anyone has any information about these as I can't find much online. I know the destination of one was Bristol Temple Meads. How come SWT would be doing this when I thought this...

I hold an Off Peak, Young Persons Discounted, Return from Castle Cary to London Terminals. I am currently at London Paddington and tried to board the 17:33 service. I believe that my ticket is valid for this service - any times mentioned for the restriction code on BRFares are before I'm wanting...

Annoyingly, Yeovil Pen Mill and Yeovil Junction do not belong to a group, such that I can't buy a ticket to 'Yeovil Stns' and change routes / plans depending on what day / time I want to travel (which can pay off over the weekend as the service at Jcn. seems to be better than Pen Mill). My...

Just thinking about all the mentions to impartial retailing etc. on the forum whereby the tickets requested must be sold. Does this apply to child tickets - or is it more for route / TOC restrictions i.e to stop TOC 1 only selling tickets for TOC 1 where TOC 2 is less restrictive / cheaper /...

Hi all, Have sent a request to XC Customer Service but was wandering if anybody here had any real world experience with what I've been booked to do. Yesterday, I booked tickets for Taunton to York with XC via their own website - taking up their offer for Weekend First Upgrade on the return...

Hi, Quick question as am mobile on the app:- currently on the late running XC service to Southampton Ctl, caught at Oxford. The 1516 and 1544 XC services had some delays (the 1516) severely. Anyone know what was causing it? Last time I run for a) a Voyager and b) a Voyager I thought was on...

I recently went down to my local staion to by some tickets for a upcoming trip and my FOSS 3 in 7 Rover for next week. In between the purchase of the ticket and rover (a queue was forming and as I was making a fair few reservations I made way until it was less busy). Two seperate individuals...

A few quick questions: I am about to undertake my first Rover (a FOSS 3 in 7) and read on the NRE site reservations were recommended for some of the busier and longer services. How does one go about this? By simply asking for them when I pick up my rover - similarly are there any hard and...

Hi, I'm looking at undertaking a Heart of Wessex ranger in the next few weeks after the arrival of my railcard and before the beginning of the summer holidays. Looking at the validity on NRE it appears it can only be used on FGW and SWT services which was all well and good, apart from I...

Hi all, I am looking at undertaking the following journey (Yeovil - York) sometime in the near future, and whilst I will be booking in advance, I am not constrained to any dates, apart from NOT being able to do the week in mid August. I understand from my reading of posts here, that...

Hi all, I have the requirement to make the journey from Yeovil - Oxford (realistically, I could also leave from Castle Cary, but would prefer a Yeovil station) up to a maximum of five times at short notice over the summer. All I can find are the £37.90 anytime return fares available, and...

Hi, Am collecting my first tickets from a machine tomorrow and after reading through some other threads here, as well as hearing from other places, what exactly should I be expecting (I've heard of people wandering off without the reservation coupon and other such things). It's a journey from...

Hi guys, Quick question for you guys. I'm on a train from Exeter St David's to Castle Cary (departing 18:02 arriving 18:52). I was wandering if you could help with the times of when the train will be around Langport & Somerton. The reason being that when I was a wee lad my Grandparents used...

Hi, I've been looking at the 16:42 Gloucester to Weymouth service having a look at their expected time for somebody I know, and the history for the journey seems to be an interesting one, leaving Gloucester 23 late, losing time until Bristol Temple Meads and then making up a fair chunk of...

Hi all, Just a few questions that stem from a recent journey, where pretty much nothing went to plan. I seem to remember us discussing one of the issues before, but here goes. 1. I got to the ticket office around 20 minutes early to buy a ticket. The queue was out the ticket office, and...

Hi folks, Was wandering if anybody can provide some information about this rather 'interesting' service ran tonight, and the many questions I now have about it! We started a few minutes ahead of schedule at Bristol Temple Meads (BRI) but realized the platform had changed to 5 instead of the...

Hi, I am looking at getting some train tickets for Sat 6th Nov on First Great Western service from Weymouth to Gloucester, starting from Yeovil Pen Mill (YVP) and going to Bristol Temple Meads (BRI). However, it has been suggested that Bath Spa (BTH) may also contain some shops that we want to...
