Thanks all The replies actually confirm what seemed to me to be the logical solution. We had considered the walk to St Pancras/KingsCross as we have done that a few times. It is not completely ruled out so thanks for mentioning that and the bus if weather is bad. We will have luggage and...

Good Afternoon Following a recent post on renewing our senior railcards on which I received spot on advice I have another query. Our journey is to be from London Euston to Gatwick Airport and I have read several opinions on the use of an Oyster card ( with senior railcards added) for this...

Thanks to all -I have ordered our cards. Update 10/12/25 Cards received expires 9/12/28

Good Morning, Hope I am in the right section, Simple question? if you know the answer. We have/had Senior Railcards ( Plastic) and have had a railcards for many years renewed online without a gap. Our 3 year cards expired 2 months ago and as we knew we would not need to travel by train...

I am not on here often and have just spotted elsewhere that Avanti are to run Evero trains on the West Coast Line. As I live in Preston I am astonished that the station is not included in the list of stopping places. Can someone confirm this to be the case. I have emailed Avanti but they are...

Tomorrow 3 and a half cancelled ( it does show as such til you figure out it has a change at deansgate and the second train is cancelled.)

Looks like 6 cancellations today - classed as MINOR disruptions??? on airport route

Gaelan said: (Curse ScotRail and their unwillingness to accept the eTickets everyone else handles with no problem - but I digress) Reading up on the Scotrail site looks like they are moving towards having a ticket before boarding and is this "mticket " the same as an eticket? and if so why...

"On the way to Edinburgh, I purchased an Off-Peak Day Return for £12.65 " You are saying you bought your ticket on the train for the journey you were on.? If correct then you are telling them you have committed the offence of boarding a train without a ticket? Could be repercussions!

Great :) - incentive to give up smoking?

Yes one can apply within 30 days of expiry (3 yr senior) and we were 15 days before. On the upside didnt apply 30 days before. I have sent again asking why and reminding them I have not had a reply from when I first reported it.

So are the people who issue the cards. We renewed our senior card renewal early as it was around of the postal strikes/chaos and we needed the cards. Application went of fine but the cards were renewed as at the date received not the expiry date of the old cards. I did send off a...

Miles off topic but I have lived in this country for over 70 years and wonder what the sign is in the second picture just to the right of the man in the brown jacket. Silhouette of a man in a red circle with a line through. On its own with no indication, does it just mean NO people allowed...

It is the Darvaza crater we had an overnight stop there on a tour of turkemenistan https://www.fleewinter.com/turkmenistan/accommodation/Darvaza_Wild_Camping. Fortunately no sarlaccs about think they had gone to Blackpool for the week. There were scorpions though so careful if squatting...

I didnt witness it but someone told me they had seen a TPE train that wasnt cancelled. :D 1678462341 Ok to make up for that there is this in Turkmenistan for scale the dots on the rim are people.

yup, costing me around £140 so far. :( Projected. I might lose less if the strike goes ahead.

My thoughts were a bit stronger than that;) That is a bit nearer;) I didnt do that but in retrospect he probably doesnt know who RMT are You probably could but as it was in reply to me saying I CANT get a later train it was probably meant to say "if your train is cancelled AND you...

I made a similar enquiry at enquiries@northernrailway.co.uk and am rather puzzled by the reply. Am I missing something or are they? " Thank you for contacting Northern, there are currently no strikes announced at the the moment , there needs to be 2 weeks prior notice give to train companies...

Maybe not relevant but on a previous strike day we returned from a cruise into Soton and the ship was late docking (5 Hours) Luckily it was a strike day???. The staff on the station said your in luck, next rain to Waterloo is in 10 minutes. Next up Avanti on Euston station Us- we have...

Contacted Avanti on 20 March re an advance ticket for travel on 8 April purchased 16 January. I have chased this up several times and on 21st May Customer resolutions said they could see no reason why my refund had not been sent. I have chased again today. 80 days how patient do I have to be?
