I was booking a journey which involved "CrossCountry only" Advance tickets between Birmingham New St - Wolverhampton and Banbury - Leamington Spa, but it would only sell paper tickets for those legs, not e-tickets. Would someone be able to look into these ticket flows and mark them as...

There have been quite a few CrossCountry trains cancelled either throughout or for part of their journey over the past few days which has been attributed to a "shortage of train drivers". Do we know how long this is likely to last? I can't see anything on their website, just whatever comes up on...

Is it possible to claim delay repay if I use multiple tickets to double back or travel on an invalid route, if the standard minimum connection times are adhered to? Example - Reading to Pinhoe via Exeter. Travelling on a Reading - Exeter ticket and a Exeter to Pinhoe ticket. If the Reading -...

Hi, today I travelled from Radley to Oxford on the 0837 which arrives on Platform 2. Radley station has no ticket buying facilities and there was no guard on the train. Usually I get the 0820 which arrives on Platform 1 and I then walk out by the barriers and buy a ticket from the member of...

I am travelling from Berlin to Biarritz this summer. Could anyone advise of the best way to book the tickets for this route and the best route to take? I was going to go Berlin - Paris (although the Thalys part of the journey doesn't seem to be available as part of a London Spezial) and then...

This train (0717 St Pancras to Avignon) left London 2 hours 20 minutes late today. Does anyone know the reason why? Thanks

Whenever I have travelled on a train operated by CrossCountry, it has always been late. Sometimes majorly, but normally minor delays of 2-8 minutes say. I understand it is difficult because they are a long distance operator, but if you look at the departures and arrivals for many XC services...

Are tickets to London Eurostar Intl (CIV) available with the new two together railcard and available to buy through Eurostar domestic sales? Thanks for your help

I was driving on the A361 near the Banbury M40 roundabout today at 1115 and out of the corner of my eye spotted what looked like a Class 350 being dragged by a DB loco. Was I imagining this or are new 350/3s being delivered? Or was it something else? Was not in a livery and definitely being...

Hi, we are travelling on the Eurostar to Paris at 07:22 on 10th May. We live near Market Harborough so were going to get the train to Luton Airport Parkway on the 9th, stay in a hotel there and then get on the Eurostar early the next day so we can get to St Pancras in time. There are no trains...

Hi, I am trying to get from Northampton (or a station nearby?) to Gatwick Airport station on the 28th December 2013. I need to be there by around 2pm. Fare given on national rail is £41.30, also this takes over 3 hours, and is part bus journey. I need a single, and have no railcards. Is there a...

Hi, this summer I'm planning to get a plane out from London City Airport on a Sunday and get the train from Northampton to the airport. I then want to get the train back to Northampton a couple of weeks later. How do I go about getting a through ticket to London City Airport from Northampton...

Hi, does anybody know if the 0620 from Rugby to Euston via Northampton on Friday 7th September is going to be a Voyager (doubled or single?) or a Pendolino (9 car or 11 car?). I'm joining at Northampton (0642) and wondering how busy it will be and whether to get the 0638 London Midland...

Hi, I'm a bit confused as to the peak restrictions from Didcot to London Paddington. If I buy an off-peak day return then the last train before the evening peak I can use seems to be the 1622 out of London Paddington towards Didcot (apart from the slow trains). Is this correct? Can I use the...

Hi, this is my first post so go easy on me! I am trying to get to Northampton from Bangor (Gwynedd) on the 1st Dec or 30th November later on in the day, returning the 6th December in the morning or maybe late on Sunday 5th. I have done this journey before, and have either been able to get an...
