    Manchester to Blundellsands & Crosby via Southport

    Ah, that sounds good in principle, although I quite like travelling back later in the evening (ie 10:05 from Southport on last 2 trips) and it looks like some of the via Liverpool journeys involve a bit of changing and half hour walks between Liverpool Central and Lime Street, though I'll have a...

    Manchester to Blundellsands & Crosby via Southport

    I've been exploring the Merseyside coast of late on Sundays, and have got as far as Formby (freshfields), for which I just bought a ticket and got to by going from Manchester Piccadilly to Southport, I enjoyed an hour in Southport before continuing my journey which i assume is allowed under...

    Specific Off Peak Times Virgin

    This might seem like a really dumb question, but I just booked an off peak return from Manchester to London Euston for tomorrow. Tried to get it from the National Rail website but it redirected me to Virgin Trains website... It was my understanding that an off peak return could be used on...

    Regular journey but different route cross London?

    Well I never got to try out the walk to Euston from St Pancras, as I ended up in the middle of the London-Brighton mainline chaos, so ended up on a train which terminated at London Bridge and just got the tube from there to Euston - did note that the ticket worked on the underground as normal...

    Flooding at South Croydon - lines blocked

    Was just my luck to get caught up in this today, though by the looks of it I got off easy... My plan for the day was to get to Manchester from Hassocks... First sign of trouble was waiting at Hassocks and the delay messages were coming up on the display. The 11:47 Bedford bound train was...

    Regular journey but different route cross London?

    Nope, same one as I booked the ticket with, giving 2 different results! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Lol, to clarify things, I emailed customer service at Crosscountry, spelling out the situation exactly as I did on this thread. They said if I want to go to Manchester from...

    Regular journey but different route cross London?

    Thanks, I know the area just around Euston a little bit so will be able to spot it once in the general area :) Thanks, yes, the only reservation coupon is for the Virgin Train. Ironically I just went on Crosscountry to see what route it would suggest if I bought a single from Hassocks to...

    Regular journey but different route cross London?

    Thanks for the replies. The ticket just says "VWC & Connections" and is an advance single. The train gets to St Pancras Intl at 13:03 (though have noticed the train from Hassocks is 7-10 minutes late more often than not) so allowing for a delay should give me half an hour or more to get the...

    Regular journey but different route cross London?

    Hello, new here, just have a question... I regularly travel from Manchester to Hassocks, and every time I go the route specified is to go from Euston to London Bridge on the tube to get my Hassocks train, and come back the same way. The train that goes to London Bridge is Brighton to Bedford...
