    Sun 1 March 1444 Sheffield - Stockport

    Various sites are showing no tickets available for this service 1444 Sheffield to Stockport. Is it likely be cancelled? I know I can buy an anytime ticket and use that service, if it runs. My journey is Sheffield to Abergavenny which also shows no tickets on the 1444. They are available from...

    Manchester airport to/from Sheffield

    I noticed one of options for this is a bus to or from Stockport, with TPE. Is it a reasonable connection or is it better to do a cross platform change (13-14) at Piccadilly with the train. Is the reason for the bus to reduce congestion at Piccadilly?

    Delay Repay advice

    I was trying find out / confirm who to apply to as the TfW, then Northern service that I used did get me into Stockport in time (albeit both running late) for my TPE, which was also late and caused my overall late arrival. The info on various websites seems to suggest it is to the TOC that...

    Delay Repay advice

    My claim for the whole journey to TfW was unsuccessful. They have used a 'set process', say TPE caused my delay and have passed my claim onto their Customer Relations. Should I appeal to TfW? Or wait for a response from TPE.

    Delay repay Abergavenny to Taunton

    Pleased to say that my delay claim to XC was accepted. Possibly as I had a barcode ticket which was scanned on the GWR service, so my actual journey showed up.

    Delay repay Abergavenny to Taunton

    Today's journey from Abergavenny 1805 to Taunton 2020 was delayed. As I caught the slower GWR from Bristol TM I arrived Taunton at 2110, rather than 2040 on the delayed XC. I got the GWR at Bristol as it came in before the XC and had seats. Would it be worth me claiming Dealy Repay?

    Bordeaux minimum connection time

    On Easter Saturday we'll be arriving in Bordeaux on the TGV from Paris at 1714. Then the slow train to Bayonne at 1719 if it's doable, or 1845 if not. What are the chances of making the 5 minute connection? We have interrail so booked on the TGV and can be flexible on the onward train.

    New direct rail service to link Edinburgh and Wales "for the first time"

    And a good bet for an 8 or 9 coach going north.

    Looking for Sheffield to Manchester ticket purchasing advice

    The tickets for Sheffield - Manchester do seem very complicated, not helped by the websites and apps often showing the cheapest advance tickets which are train specific. And there being 3 different operators. What is the cheapest ticket for this route that allows you to get the next available /...

    TFW first class tickets

    Do any of the units have 1st class? I thought I'd read that some of the 3 car units had 1st.

    TFW first class tickets

    But the TFW website isn't offering 1st tickets for this or any journey on 16th. Is that an error? How much would a first class upgrade be?

    TFW first class tickets

    I'm not seeing any 1st class tickets for Stockport to Abergavenny this Saturday 16th. Are they not offering these as they can't be sure trains with 1st class will run. Is the best idea to buy standard and upgrade? Looking at departing Stockport at 1340 1440 or 1540.
