Hello, I apologise in advance as this is quite simply a rant. I returned to the UK again today, arriving at LHR. I now work abroad in a developing country after previously commuting to London for a number of years. 1. My first issue was trying to get to Kings Cross, to catch a train...

Thank you all. No time to reply last night as lots of last minute packing to do. On the train now and planning on getting the HEx (although tube all the way could be similar time wise). --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Nearly done (on the HEx now). However next time I would get the...

Hi, I am getting a flight from Heathrow at 0915 tomorrow. I normally think I have at least a vague understanding of trains and ticketing but I really struggle when it comes to the Heathrow Express. I want to arrive at Heathrow T5 by 0800, can anybody suggest which train/tube/Heathrow Express...

Thanks all. Those timings can only mean that the the train they are putting down as calling at Biggleswade was the one that changed direction and didn't unlock its doors. Therefore surley it didn't call! Why would anybody in their right mind do this?

Morning, 10 of us were left waiting at Biggleswade this morning for the 0718 which didn't turn up. No announcements and the ticket office was not open. Interestingly a train heading to Peterborough pulled into platform 4 at circa 0725. It remained there so I assumed that there must be a...

Thanks SWT. It sure works on the SWT site, but still not on the East Coast. Odd.

LexyBoy - quite right on the Gold Card, I was just confusing things and being a numpty. 2 singles are indeed teh same price (well 5 pence cheaper actualy!) but would mean either having to know what time I am coming back (I don't) or having to have the faff of buying the return single at the...

Thanks Yorkie - at least for letting me know I wasn't being a complete idiot. I looked on the National Rail site and East Coast. Oddly it would give me a discount with a 16-25 rail card. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi, I'm confused! Why can I get any Anytime Return from Huntingdon to London but not from London to Huntingdon? Also, why does my Gold Card not give me a discount? Thanks!

I have been watching the (slow) progress with barriers at Finsbury Park which are now at last starting to take shape (at least on platform 5/6). However I see two major problems with the idea and implementation: 1. As it is, peak times cause major blockages on the narrow platform stairs. I...

Hi, My Dad is visiting over Christmas and I know he would love to see a steam train in action up close. Is there any way to find out when steam trains will pass through Biggleswade? Thanks.

And I thought I was asking questions that were far too simple! Somewhat confused now, is there agreement that if I purchase a FPK to Zones 1-2 travel card (£25.80) that I will be able to travel to any Zone1-2 tube station from and to FPK? But to muddy the waters again: Could I get an FPK...

Hello all, thanks for for all the advice/comments so far. After a couple of unhelpful ticket sellers at Charring X I finally found one that seemed to know his stuff. I asked about travel-cards (as mentioned on here) and he suggested a Finsbury Park to Zone 1-2 for £25.80 per week. Can anybody...

Hi, I was told of this forum by posters on another forum that I frequent. I have some basic questions (a lot less than I had before searching through previous threads), any advice is much appreciated. 1. I have seen posts referring to a rule book or routing manual. where is it possible...
