Thanks for showing me what a minefield it is! I'm looking at one of the new GWR timetables. Some services are in red, and the key says "Anytime ticket required when boarding this train here". I just wanted to find a way to pick this up through the various APIs. Oh well.

Thanks for your replies. Yes, by 'service', I meant a specific journey from A to B at a certain time, not a whole train. I want to pick up and highlight, for example, the evening GWR services out of Paddington that now need an anytime ticket rather than an off-peak one. My website has more than...

Hello. I'm already using the apis from National Rail, and Network Rail via RTT for a simple departure board website. I'd like to identify if a particular service is a peak one/needs an anytime ticket. Do I already have access to this information, or is there some other api I need to use?

Yes, thanks, that was the problem. Should anyone else come across this thread in the future, you need to use encodeURIComponent(). So something like: const encoded = encodeURIComponent(serviceId);

Ah... I think it just might! I'll report back...

Hello. I get the serviceId from getDepartureBoard and send it off to getServiceDetails. I want the subsequentCallingPoints - they come back for some services but not for others. I can't work out why. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at London Liverpool Street to Cambridge day return on a Sunday in July. I don't want to book yet until I know for sure I'm going. That's why I wanted to know if the Super Off-Peak tickets might disappear. (I was going to use Southern's Rainy Day Guarantee...

Do super off-peak tickets tend to disappear the closer you get to the travel date? Or can you normally book them at the last minute? Thanks.

Just coming back to answer my question. I was at Stratford again yesterday evening and found a pink reader on the Overground platform. Saved myself 90p!

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to remember to look around a bit next time. I travelled from Snaresbrook on the Central line to Brondesbury on the Overground, changing at Stratford, but got charged for Zone 1, which I wasn't expecting. Then I remembered the pink readers, but I've never noticed...

I didn't see one the other day, but should've used it. Thanks.

Thanks. Just tried it. Ah, same problem - although it offered next day delivery for £5 rather than £6. (I'm trying to buy a Zone 6 station to Zone 1 return, with travelcard. With a Network Railcard it's just £5.) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- How strange. You're right -...

Yes, I have. I tried First Capital Connect and Virgin. Same problem. Next day delivery only. Hmm.

Does anyone know the 'rules' for when self-service ticket collection is offered and when it isn't? I'm trying to buy a ticket for next Saturday - a journey wholly in London with travelcard attached - on the FGW website and the only delivery option it's giving me is next day delivery, the cost...
