I get a weekly rail ticket between Brandon and Cambridge every week. As I buy it on a Monday it expires on a Sunday. However, the staff at Cambridge have always told me to just travel to Cambridge on the Monday and renew the ticket there as Brandon is unmanned and has no options for buying a...

£30,000+ for operating a ticket barrier? Seriously? Why? I made the return journey on the same route btw, although I walked between King's Cross and Euston, and had no problem, in fact no-one even checked my ticket between Ely and Holyhead.

Thanks everyone. I think, maybe this is controversial, that a lot of the problem arises from having privatised public transport. Generally in Ireland, Irish Rail and Bus Eireann staff are friendly and helpful, but the private travel companies (only buses in Ireland) generally hires b0llixes. Tbh...

Thanks for the information everyone. I'm not sure about the two zones though. For example, Wrexham is in North Wales which is zone A but Chester is zone B. However, the train from Holyhead passes through Chester before it goes to Wrexham thus forcing you to travel through a more expensive...

Dublin Ferryport to Ely. Jonathan Swift. €248 return for ticket covering my wife, my son and me.

Dublin to Ely. It was bought from Irish Ferries booking desk in Dublin. It was a handwritten ticket. He didn't mark it with anything but I very much doubt he would anyway as your average Irish ticket clerk wouldn't necessarily know the route to Ely no more than your average British ticket clerk...

I am travelling across the UK on a Dublin bought SailRail ticket. I was expressly told by train staff in both Holyhead and Chester to travel via London and that my ticket covered me for the underground between Euston and Kings Cross. At Euston, because the Irish issued tickets don't fit the...

Thanks everyone.

Great, thanks.

Ah ok, thanks. Would it be easy to find my way given my lack of experience of London? If things are that close I usually walk in these situations, in my experience by the time you've walked to the platform, then waited for the train, then gone from the platform to where you're going, you'd...

I have a cross-country journey to make tomorrow. I found great value on the ticket but the route is "impossible". Here it is: Leave Chester at 16:35. Arrive London Euston at 18:39 Depart London Euston at 18:39 Arrive Kings Cross at 19:14 Leave Kings Cross at 19:14 Arrive...

I believe, as I chose to use the sailing alternative in the end, that I wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on this time. Its good to know the official line would be that they would have to refund me in future though so thanks for that :D. I'll be making the same journey for the next few...

Thanks. In the end the only solution that transpired was to take the switch onto the late (SLOW!) ferry. I'm finally where I need to be but I do find it annoying that: (a)We were switched onto a CHEAPER vessel; (b)Made to travel at very awkward times. (c)We lost the rail part of our ticket...

It doesn't actually say anything like that but the email is this: Journey Information Getting your tickets: Self-Service Ticket Machine Collection reference: ******** Tickets will be available to pick-up from a self-service ticket machine at any one of 1000 UK stations 2 hours after...

I booked a SailRail with Arriva Trains Wales. Due to inclement weather Irish Ferries have had to cancel the Jonathan Swift Fast Ferry and are offering the option of transferring onto Ulysses. However, this travels very late at night and (a)will get me back too late; (b)would require me to spend...
