    Lowestoft/Norwich to London return

    I'll need to travel Lowestoft to London, and then London to Diss/Norwich, with a flexible return needed. Is there any interpretation of routing rules or split tickets that makes this cheaper than buying two (expensive) off-peak singles that don't benefit from the return discount? Thanks in...

    thetrainline bug

    Unfortunately for this journey I have to use the trainline, it's an external constraint. 1730122327 I respectfully disagree.

    Breach in terms of ambiguity I mean.

    thetrainline bug

    I'd take the view under Consumer Rights Act this is breach of contract and forward the cost to thetrainline, but I digress... I have a e-ticket, would that still be possible?

    thetrainline bug

    The tickets I bought were £5.90 less than the Anytime Short Return I would have bought if the app was working properly, but changing the ticket will cost £25.10 (CDS) - £7.80 (ADV) + £10 fee = £27.30 The train manager on the outbound train said it would be fine (I wrote down his name from his...

    I didn't know that actually, but only realised when I was on the train and the guard was scanning my ticket unfortunately.

    thetrainline bug

    I needed to travel from Newcastle to Whitehaven, I was already at Newcastle station and knew I would be travelling on the next train, but needed to travel back at some point on Wednesday afternoon. I searched on thetrainline app, selected my outbound train and my probable inbound train. On the...

    Train “cancelled”

    Merry Christmas RF I bought a return Super Off Peak return ticket online with seat reservations on 22 Dec for travel out 24 Dec and returning today on 27 Dec on a 9am train. As this was just before the Christmas break I thought the timetable as finalised. When I checked today that train has...

    Break of Journey on 2W Restriction

    I have a Super Off-Peak Single (Any Permitted) which says on the e-Ticket in the GWR app "A break of journey at intermediate stations is not permitted". The restriction code 2W doesn't say anything about break of journey, nor does the ticket on brfares - is this enforceable?

    Southern rail letting you book for Christmas day!!!!

    True but sometime people get a little confused with contract law and exclusions/get-outs which the CRA would override. Interesting to know!

    Southern rail letting you book for Christmas day!!!!

    Is there an angle under the Consumer Rights Act to have alternative transport if/when the trains are cancelled?

    Ski bag on GWR IET

    A relative is travelling on an off-peak service from Paddington in the early afternoon on Tuesday, they'll have a single ski bag between the two of them after a holiday. Subject to space would this be allowed on the train? Thanks in advance.

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    I think you're confused - it says last orders for food are at 19:31 at Reading. It wouldn't matter how long or short your journey is from Taunton at 20:49 as it's closed, so it can't mean your journey from Taunton is too short. Obsessing over a small thing but I'm getting married the next day...

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    Taunton station is after Reading station on GWR, and Reading is "Last call for Pullman Dining" - so there's no option for dinner if boarding at Taunton.

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    That's what I hoped, I'm travelling Paddington to Taunton and want the dinner service. Do they not start it until after Reading maybe and there's now not enough time to do the service before Taunton? If the last call is at Reading it doesn't make much sense to be saying if you get on at...

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    Is the Pullman dining service available from Paddington to Taunton? I'm sure I've done this before but it now says: 19:04 London Paddington First call for Pullman Dining 19:31 Reading Last call for Pullman Dining 20:49 Taunton (Pullman not available as journey is too short)
