Hi, Group of 4 travelling into Paris on a Saturday evening, transferring to hotel and then sightseeing for 2 days (Sunday, Monday) before heading back to the UK on Tuesday afternoon. I understand you can buy Paris Metro tickets in blocks of 10, which works out cheaper than buying individual...

I've notice from the timetable change starting 15th December 2019, passenger services are once again going to be running from Taplow (TAP) and Iver (IVR) on Sundays. I'm planning on taking the first train of the day that Sunday which appears to be the 0811 TfL service from Reading to...

So far I've never seen a 10 car GWR formation made up of an 800/0 coupled to an 802/0. Is this due to incompatibility between the classes, or perhaps simply operational reasons ?

Hi, We recently travelled between Hayes & Harlington and West Drayton. Without thinking, I purchased 2 x Anytime Day Singles at £3.20 each from the TVM. Later on that evening I realised we could have made the journey for half the price if we'd used PAYG and touched in/out on the card readers...

Hi, Now that TfL have taken over the stopping services between Paddington & Heathrow Terminal 4, does this now mean you can use a 1 day travel card (zones 1-6) to travel the entire journey ? Previously you could travel as far as Hayes & Harlington, but then you'd have to buy a separate...

Good Afternoon All, I recently travelled from Beaconsfield to Birmingham on a Super Off Peak Return (route via High Wycombe). My understanding was that I could travel from Beaconsfield to Leamington Spa, then from there either change onto a Cross Country service via Coventry and Birmingham...

I was fortunate enough to travel behind HST power car 43002 from Reading to Didcot last week. The colour scheme looks great, especially when compared to the majority of the GWR HST fleet. During the journey I began to wonder how different this power car is now, compared to when it first...

Can somebody please clarify if there are any weekday evening peak restrictions when using a Cheshire Day Ranger ? I know Northern don't allow travel in the evening peak if you hold an off peak ticket, but does this extend to Ranger/Rover tickets too ?
