I booked with TPE but am inclined to keep the ticket and try out the route, provided I can get a cheap single back again via another route for the variety. The VTEC ticket is still available at £40 but National Rail's booking horizons say Northern tickets for July 8th have come available today...

Thanks for the replies with some good ideas. Unfortunately I panic bought the TPE Advance to get up there before I saw John or Sonic's bargain routings. I'm hoping the Northern booking horizon is going to extend to my given Sunday tomorrow and I'll be able to get a bargain Advance back by the...

I'm heading up to Glasgow on Friday July 6th in the afternoon and returning Sunday July 8th around lunchtime, and am looking at my ticket options. It appears I'm late for having a choice of good deals on the Friday, but early for the Sunday as the booking horizons are quite different for...

Hi All, I had an Advance ticket from EC to travel Grange Park to Sheffield via King's Cross and Doncaster on Sunday 18th November. I'd picked that date as the EC website told me FCC were running trains that day, having been using rail replacement buses on Sundays for many weeks prior...

Yes, they were advising going up to Stevenage via WGC then back through Hertford North. Pretty annoying for me as I'd just come into KX on an East Coast train which had called at Stevenage! Their alternative suggestion (by announcement at Finsbury Park) was for Enfield to take the tube to...

Speaking from experience; Easyjet make you wait until check-in closes, just in case they have a chance at selling a walk-up fare. If they don't fill it up then they'll give you a boarding pass for the earlier flight. The TOCs could easily give you a ticket without a reservation and you'd...

As mentioned, I bought a ticket to suit my flight's advertised arrival time, allowing for the closure on the tube. The airline had miscalculated my arrival time due to the change from summer time occurring earlier at the destination than the origin. I accepted having to wait, but given the...

Well I think the swap was intended to benefit the southbound (and subsequent) HST passengers by utilising 'our' healthy 222. Presumably if they weren't waiting too long at Leicester, EMT will have avoided late fines on that service too. As mentioned though, the guard presented it as if the...

Hi All, Last Sunday I flew into Heathrow after an overnight flight. The airline hadn’t accounted for the clocks changing here before they do in the US, so we arrived an hour ‘early’ due to that, and earlier still due to a good tailwind. I’d allowed plenty of time for the tube-replacement...

Hi All, Sorry this may be a rather dull question, but I'm just looking at some tickets to Birmingham this weekend, and I can't get over just how slow XC is on New St - Derby on a Sunday! It will take me ~3hr for Selly Oak - Sheffield on Sunday, compared to 1hr30 on Saturday. Some are...
