A couple of weeks ago I purchased First Class Advance tickets from Kings Cross to Leeds and back from LNER, for 16th / 17th August but I've now realised that I forgot to apply my senior railcard for discount. Is there any way I can get a refund for the discount from LNER or do I just have to...

Photos on local Facebook show the footbridge at Paignton station well alight. GWR say station on fire but it looks like just the bridge. GWR say signalling damaged and no trains running until at least 14.00.

I recently had to purchase a ticket from a GWR Ticket Examiner having accidentally bought my ticket for the wrong day. It was travelling First Class from Torquay to Paddington, for which the usual first class anytime day single is £147.90. She charged me £48.00 for a standard class super...

Travelling back with an off peak return I arrived at Didcot to find an earlier late running train in the platform. I boarded this, which arrived at Paddington 30 minutes late. The train manager announced that everyone was entitled to delay repay. My arrival was however earlier than it would...

Is it reasonable for someone to be part of a Zoom meeting on a train? Chap in GWR First Class today was in a meeting, oblivious to the rest of the coach who may have wanted reasonable quiet so we could work or enjoy the journey. Another passenger and I spoke to staff who said they couldn't say...

The last two years we've travelled from Interlaken to Cologne on EC trains along the Rhine. One year we changed at Basel into the EC train that starts at Interlaken, the other we had a break at Basel and changed into another EC to Cologne. I very much enjoyed the trundle along the line, rather...

I was booked on the 11.03 Kings Cross to Leeds on 4th December with a first class advance ticket. There was severe disruption, this train and others were cancelled and more delayed. As a result I changed my plans and did not travel to Leeds. LNER’s website gave various options, including saying...

I’m on a FGW train this morning. Tickets in first class being checked by first class host before he gives out complimentary refreshments. Pleased to see it. Is this now general (I’ve never seen it on GWR before) or is he just being very thorough.

Quick question - If travelling beyond Shenfield from London, does the train have to stop at Shenfield if I am to use my 60+ Oyster from London to Shenfield and buy a ticket from Shenfield to my destination (which tomorrow is Manningtree), or can I do this on any training passing through but not...

A family friend is travelling from Milford Haven to Paddington. The train from Milford Haven was late and missed the connection at Swansea. She is a young adult, not used to travelling long distances on her own and very worried that she doesn’t do anything illegal. Rather than use her ticket...

I have a 60+ Oyster which is valid to Shenfield. If travelling beyond here (on trains that stop) I use the Oyster to Shenfield and book to my destination from there. Tomorrow’s journey is Upminster – Wivenhoe, so I’ll book a return from Shenfield to Wivenhoe. If I don’t change trains at...

Does anyone know how to book return tickets on the Rothorn Bahn? Their website only seems to sell singles. An agency sells returns but ads 8francs seat reservation which Rothorn Bahn website says is included in ticket.

Inter rail website won’t let me book seat reservation (which is required) for ICE train Paris to Strasbourg But it will let me book the same train to stations into Germany. Is this because Strasbourg is within France? Is there any problem with booking a seat to the first station in Germany but...

Next Saturday I am travelling from Paddington to Torquay on an off peak return (already purchased). I intend to visit to Cardiff on the outward journey and to purchase a day or off peak return from Bristol Parkway to Cardiff (staying on the same train from Paddington). Will this allow me to...

I have a First Class All Line Rover. Today I travelled from Euston to Birmingham. There was no first class catering service. The reason given was that First Class was declassified due to LNER trains being cancelled. There were only 24 passengers in First Class on leaving Euston and spare seats...

Last week I travelled from Paddington to Torquay and back. Outward the train arrived 14 minutes and 40 seconds late (by PIS screen). Return it was 59 minutes and 47 seconds (by PIS screen). Realtime trains shows arrival slightly earlier – ¼ or ½ minute after the 14 / 59 minutes. GWR have turned...

I’m not sure if this is the right forum or if I can get his information here? I’m trying to find out the following historical train times. 25th August 1972 – Last evening trains from Plymouth to Newton Abbot. I think there was one at 20.00 or 20.20 or 20.30 then the next was midnight. 20th...

I'm trying to book a single from Bournemouth to Stourbridge Town for tomorrow for someone else so need to be able to email ticket, but Cross Country, LNER & Greater Anglia all only giving option to collect at station. I've never come across this before as it usually offers email option. Any...

I think I have been overcharged by Avanti. I purchased off peak returns through Avanti website for my son and family from Stourbridge Junction to Euston, outward today, returning tomorrow, using a Family Railcard. Looking at the tickets I’ve just noticed that they only gave a railcard discount...

On Saturday 25th November I tried to book a First Class ticket off peak return ticket (London to Stourbridge Town) using the 10.49 Avanti Euston – Glasgow (via Birmingham) Sunday 26th. Avanti (and other websites) said that first class was sold out on this (and a number of other Avanti trains...
