    Edinburgh - Preston today: Off Peak Single from station?

    Hello, Im hoping for a quick answer on this one. Checking the Avanti site on my phone I see that Off Peak Singles are 'Sold Out' for the 10:52 but I can buy an Advance. Ideally I was hoping for a break of journey. Is this Avanti nonsense, or something to do with all the TPE cancellations and...

    Stopping short on Advance if Season is held?

    I wish to travel from A to C. Cheap Advances are only available from A to D (through C). I hold a Season valid between B and D. Can I travel from A to C using a combination of Advance plus Season? Is the answer: 1) No, because under no circumstance can you stop short on an Advance. 2) Yes...

    Walk On fares available from trainline or trainsplit, but not tpexpress or gwr websites?

    I'm looking to travel from Manchester to South Woodham Ferrers on Sat 20 Nov and returning Sun 21 Nov. Flexible with times and happy to commit to fixed trains if required. I see that there is a Super Off Peak Return for £108.30. Great, but my usual go-to websites, tpexpress and gwr, will not...

    RugeleyTV - Hebden Bridge via Warrington?

    I am looking to travel tomorrow from Rugeley to Hebden Bridge (and back again) using a walk-on fare. I see a £48.10 fare 'via Manchester'. Is this valid via Warrington? In my head it should be, and checking the routeing guide I think gives TM+NR validation. However I cannot force a website to...

    Lapworth to Stratford-upon-Avon options?

    I am looking to do a return journey from Lapworth to Stratford-upon-Avon tomorrow (Saturday). National Rail's app advises changing at Solihull, but gives no fares for this. I presume this is because this is the quickest route with the shortest connection time, but is disallowed in ticketing...

    Northern TVMs not set up to issue 'Promise to Pay'?

    At Hebden Bridge, as far as I can tell, the ticket vending machines are not set up to issue 'Promise to Pay' (P2P) unlike other local stations that I use. This is at all times, whether the ticket office is open or not. This evening the ticket office was (probably temporarily on this occasion)...

    Ticket pickup problems at Huddersfield

    I bought a walk-on return ticket online and tried to collect at Huddersfield yesterday morning prior to travel with my scribbled down reference number and purchase card. Because of the system fault I was unable to do so. I asked gateline staff what to do and they said not to worry as the fault...

    Starting short, just after 09:30

    Hello, For my semi-regular journey I've discovered it is cheapest to start and finish short using an Off Peak Day Return (which I think is perfectly acceptable?). I wish to make my journey as early in the day as I can at the cheapest price. Does my ticket become valid at 09:30 (when off...

    Another Plusbus query

    Is it possible to buy a Plusbus add-on for an already-purchased EC Flat Fare (i.e. one of the recently offered £8 tickets)? I know I can buy seperately, but wording on the PlusBus website says it is possible to buy with all Advance and Walk On fares. Is inclusivity of all ticket types implicit...
