    Thank you for taking a look. You have made a good suggestion and heading more north on fewer trains would be a nice change. Good idea and my planning is starting now

    Northern Explorer - new ticket?

    Living in the East Yorkshire area it takes an age to get to Manchester/lower north west via northern only and therefore realistically cannot go much further on a day ticket. My point for this post was about the take over of GBR which if they do take over all but the open access TOC's then could...

    Northern Explorer - new ticket?

    For a railcard holder over 55 from the east Northern area this is only the second rover that covers my station and I am interested in giving it a try.

    Which sites to purchase train tickets?

    I too spend some time checking prices for trips I hope to make in the future but are by no means definite. If this is causing problems as has been suggested by people who know more than me. My question would be. What is the best site to check prices that do not cost a company money, if any exist

    London Overground Spotting Trip

    Hopefully not off topic as it may help someone and will definately help me. Are you allowed to tap out and then straight back in again, literally seconds after tapping out and will this then reset the 1.5 or 2 hours you have before having to tap out again. Hope that makes sense

    What Ticket should I buy in London. One day travel card or use PAYG Oyster/bank card.

    Thanks Kieron and Island, i feel much more confident about what i can do when i go and what ticket to buy, you are right about zones 1 - 4, i may decide to have a single day when i might venture further but looking at the map, most (if not all) will be within zones 1 - 4.
