Please let me know if I understand this correctly. I can buy an advance ticket on the TfW website for another operators service, for example Northern Railway, and change it to a different train for fare difference but no fees?
Looking at fares between Manchester Airport and Blackpool North and seeing that the restriction code says that all trains are off-peak regardless of the time of day.
Does this mean that using a Two Together rail card that can only be used on off-peak trains can be used any time of the day on...
Traveling from Birmingham New Street to Blackpool North today. Train was supposed to depart Crewe at 09:39am but we have a rolling delay and it is now 10:30am and the train is still being held at Crewe. Apparently engineering work between Crewe and Preston has overrun.
How long can we be held...
I use Gmail which is a very common email provider. Gmail do not reject any messages outright, they automatically filter some to the Spam folder. I’m not seeing these in my spam folder.

I am unable to get them to send any emails to me though. When I login they tell me that I need to verify my email address by clicking on the link in an email that they’ve sent to me. I never receive the email no...

I ended up getting into Blackpool just under 2 hours late. Between 6.00pm and the end of service today, it looks like all Manchester Airport to Blackpool North trains except 2 were cancelled.
On my last trip to the UK, my Avanti train from London Euston to Preston was delayed and I got a full...
I’ve been living on the other side of the world for several years and arrived back in the UK this evening for a family visit.
I got to Manchester Airport Station and missed the 18:16 by seconds. The next four trains heading towards Preston are cancelled.
Lovely welcome home after a 16 hour flight.
Just an update for everyone. I got an email from Avanti on March 10th telling me that they were cancelling the cheques and had sent a request for a BACS payment to the relevant department. The cheques arrived last week which was more than 2 months since the email saying they had been sent. There...
I was able to open an account with Nationwide Building Society. I've been meaning to open an account for a while and this tipped me over the edge. They are going to pay me into this account by BACS.
