Thanks that is what I thought was the case otherwise you would be able to travel much cheaper than intended! - thanks for confirming.

Out of interest I have another query I have often wondered how this direct train rule works on circular routes. For example I buy a ticket Wandsworth Town to Clapham Junction. I travel west on a Kingston loop train which does, eventually, get me to Clapham Junction, via Kingston without...

Ah I see thank you. I mis-understood then.

I am looking to travel Woking to Clapham Junction direct on the way out (via the mainline, I.E. via Surbiton, Wimbledon) but back via Isleworth (Hounslow loop). I thought a simple Woking to Clapham Junction return would suffice for this, but having put in Woking to Clapham Junction direct and...

An airline that doesn't offer online booking, even if only temporarily, is very unusual in 2026. It certainly makes it more challenging to book if you have to wait for a reply to an email to confirm availability first. And how do you pay, at the check in desk?! Or over the phone? Bizarre.

I had it turned off on my phone, but still got one of the "presidential" alerts that can't be turned off when in Ibiza a year or so ago (heavy rain/thunderstorms). However I did get this alert and found the setting was turned back on again. I didn't do it, so is this something that gets turned...

Correct yes. The Guildford trains were withdrawn when it was still SWT.

Before the current or at least pre COVID timetable came in these stations were served by a 2tph Woking to Waterloo stopper and 2tph Guildford to Waterloo stopper. Worplesdon was generally only served by the Guildford stopper. For some reason SWT withdrew the Guildford stopper and extra calls got...

Unfortunately it seems now that a sale is inevitable and it's just a matter of who the buyer is going to be.

Yes I will try contacting Eurostar again but I am not confident. Although the email said the offer was final another template letter attached stated I had 14 days to accept or reject the mediator and if I accepted I didn't need to do anything and if I rejected I had to send a letter within 14...

I just wondered if there is any obligation for bus companies to help you if the last bus of the day didn't run. Yesterday I was waiting for the last bus of the day but the bus but it didn't arrive. I could see from the map on the bustimes.org website the bus appeared to have ended the route...

Yes I keep getting these ads too. One even claimed it worked without electricty. Really?!

It would be sad to see Easyjet go but yes unfortunately I suspect it will be a sell off of the planes to lease back, probably closing some of the smaller bases and loaded with debt so probably more extra charges for passengers and probably more Ryanair tricks like deliberately splitting up...

I've had an email today that Halifax are rebranding as Lloyds. So that brand will disappear. I expect any towns and cities with both a Lloyds and Halifax branch to lose at least one of them. Probably the Halifax one to save on rebranding. I don't know if they might rebrand some Halifax branches...

Thank you all for the helpful replies to my last post (especially @ModernRailways and @MotCO). Today I had a response from the SNCF Mediation. The good news is they appear to have upheld my complaint and told Eurostar to pay my expenses. The bad news is they have done so by telling Eurostar to...

I have tried to chase up the "Mediation SNCF Voyageurs" as it said they would respond within 90 working days and it is now well past that. I have chased up twice a few weeks apart but just get the response both times. "Your application is currently being processed by our department. Due to a...

This is one of the many COVID cuts that didn't get restored. Evening services before 2020 used to be every half an hour to the end of service for both Alton and Basingstoke. It wouldn't need a timetable recast just the will to restore it.

Sometimes the delivery photo is accompanied by a map from, I assume, a GPS tracker. If there was one that might help track down where it was actually delivered too. Of course whether whoever got it still has it is another matter. To be honest I find Royal Mail the worst of the courier companies...

I wonder if it's the same as SWR use? I gave up with their app and now use Trainline for tickets bought on the day (I don't use it for booking in advance due to fees) on my phone because I got fed up of it constantly logging me out and also telling me that when I tried to log in my password was...

I don't know but I feel like they may be working some kind of scam. I ordered something to be delivered by Evri. Bur I got one of those "the sender didn't pay enough postage" cards through the door. I had to go to the post depot, which opens now for just one hour per day. I had to pay before...
