    Euston - Motherwell: An Avanti Ticketing Conundrum

    The Avanti App offers it. Noted as the last train of the day.

    Forced to buy a new ticket after break of journey

    One further complication, selecting the “Open Return” option on the Greater Anglia App any time recently would return their Hare Fare discounted day return. Could be purchased to cover travel up until June.

    Trivia: Football grounds next to railway lines.

    Morecambe’s main stand must provide visibility of the Heysham line ? The chances of a train passing during a game must be fairly slim though.

    Paddington Elizabeth line escalator luggage shaming camera

    Jeez, not a problem. Sensible people do sensible stuff. Idiots, unfortunately don’t. They always will, signs won’t stop them.

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    The Piccadilly and Central lines run all night. If the worst happens, they will get us near enough to Rayleigh for an affordable Uber ride home.

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Planes are still arriving, the system serves the airport. Planes carry people, who will all have onward journeys, many if not most, I would guess heading into, or via Central London. My fundamental question was seeking to find an answer to the conflicting information on H Ex, RTT, NR, this...

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    I get the don’t do it off the last flight comment. All being well, it will be fine. 2 hours to get to Liv St after landing, should be a doddle. I’d feel more comfortable if our railway industry was able to provide accurate service information so as to inform my travel decision and the likely...

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Thanks, since my first post I actually called their contact number to query the discrepancy. It happened to be after I’d already purchased my ticket. Our timetables are correct, I suggest you contact those sites showing incorrect times was the response. I didn’t pursue the conversation.

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Bought on Greater Anglia. Ticket shows the 23:42. All that remains is for Biggles to bring that plane in on time. Should the worst happen and the 23:42 didn’t run, what would H Ex’ obligations be ? 1726866245 Understood, the itinerary would be exactly the same as for the through ticket.

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Thanks, sounds like a plan. I see that I can get H Ex advances to Paddington, not train specific but my printed itinerary will be. If I split at Paddington, I assume I would be covered ? What would H Ex’ obligation be if the situation arose that I’m in good time for the 23:42, but it didn’t exist ?

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Thanks, that matches TFL, NR and Greater Anglia sites but not Heathrow Express’ own site. Is it possible that the train operator is wrong and the others correct ? I’d like it to be so obviously.

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    Given there’s 2 hours between arrival and our last train from Liv St, It hadn’t crossed my mind there would be a problem. If the flight’s delayed, I would have to take the Piccadilly and Central line out to Newbury Park and Uber home from there. I’d still rather know which train is my last...

    Heathrow Help Please ?

    I’ve booked a return flight Heathrow to Faro, not worrying too much at the time how we’d get home to Rayleigh on our return, Elizabeth line to Liverpool St obviously. As the date is getting closer I thought I’d better sort out tickets and get my head round the Heathrow fares malarkey. We are...

    Southend Airport non stop express services.

    The service to the airport doesn’t run on Sunday mornings. I can only assume, to avoid use by Essex party animals. I guess the same reason applies for the 23:59 omitting pick up at Southend Victoria. They were introduced in pre-covid days, when Southend airport had significantly more flights...

    Cross London Query

    Thanks Yorkie, noted regarding the forum’s site. I found a similar thread from a few years ago and the sage advice given. As also mentioned above by redreni, I’ll bear in mind the options available.

    Cross London Query

    Thanks, I’ll go via Stratford anyway, without going to Liv St first. I wondered if it was a preferred route somehow regarding the fare allocation for GA, to send me to Liv St, so it’s just a zone 1 tube journey ? It got weirder after my purchase. My son’s joining us on the leg from Waterloo, so...

    Cross London Query

    I’ve bought an advance ticket for a journey Rayleigh to Portsmouth Harbour. Super price @ £21.70 for both of us with a 2 together. My query is regarding the leg from Liverpool St to Waterloo. All the journeys I had looked at showed the obvious change at Stratford for the Jubilee line. This one...

    Refused Ticket Collection

    I didn’t anticipate that they did. Only seeking to differentiate between old and new type Nat West cards. Having thought about it since, I’m certain that I’ve had it happen a few times before, using the Nat West card. Didn’t think anything of it until coming across this thread.

    Refused Ticket Collection

    Just been to collect TOD from a Greater Anglia machine. Used Nat West card to validate, new type card, no embossed number, rejected twice. Tickets bought on line using Paypal. Used old school embossed type credit card, tickets issued. It was only down to luck that I had the credit card with me
