I have just booked from New St to Stafford using the LM website and obtained their discount but the trains I thought I might use turn out to be XC services but I went ahead and selected them and the confirmation email says it is ok to use those trains. As this is an LM discount how am I allowed...

Thank you for all your help and yes we will change at Dalmuir, it is pretty obvious when it is pointed out. Once again thank you for your informative replies, it is very much appreciated.

It is the shuttle bus between Central and Queen St, I believe it stops at about 8pm.

I used the LM rail sale last week between Birmingham and Liverpool and my ticket says under "Ticket type" ONLINE ONLY SVR "Route" VIA CREWE "validity" SEE RESTRICTIONS. I only used LM trains because nobody seemed to know what trains it was valid on so I didn't take a chance. The LM guard said...

My wife and I are going to Scotland for a holiday in early June and staying in an hotel just a few yards from Central Station and will be going to Fort William for a day out. My question is that while we can get the shuttle bus from Central to Queen St in the morning for the 9.00 train to Fort...

I have today received the following e-mail from LM which rather contradicts the advice I was given on this forum yesterday.

Thank you.

Thank you for that information, so if I buy a LM special offer ticket BHM to STA at £4.90 and then an anytime day return STA to SOT at £6.30 I can stay on the XC train from Birmingham to Stoke.

I am having problems with the LM offer, for example I have looked at travel from Birmingham to Stafford on Friday March 29th (for football at Burslem) and it shows a special offer price of £4.90 return but all the trains shown are XC services to Manchester and no LM services, surely XC will not...

I didn't put in "via Coventry" but I have now put "avoid Coventry" and it works, so thanks.

Can anyone please explain why the LM website will not allow me to book return tickets from Rugby to Nuneaton this coming Wednesday without going via Coventry.

I had an off peak day return last week from Cheltenham to Nuneaton but as it was so cold I decided to return earlier than I had planned. When I got back to New Street I asked at the information desk, just inside the ticket barrier, if there were any restrictions on off peak travel in the...

I shall be travelling on the 9.20 from Birmingham to Glasgow on a Monday in March, can someone please tell me if this will be a Voyager or Pendolino.

I take your point about there usually being seats available on most Cheltenham to Paddington trains especially at Cheltenham where the train starts but what happens if I take a seat at Cheltenham and then somebody gets on at Kemble and has a reservation for the seat I am sitting in, are they...

Taking the seat reservation thing on a bit further, what is the situation when although people have tickets with seat reservations the actual seats have no reservation on them. Are you still entitled to that seat or is it just a free for all if the guard announces that there are no seat...

I didn't post on here in the hope of making money, if somebody wants them they can have them for nothing.

I didn't realise people had a use for used tickets, I have just thrown a load away, but will keep them in future if they are going to be of use to somebody.

I have now discovered that there is a 10.59 XC service from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh arriving at 12.02, which in fact calls at Cheltenham on its way to Penzance so I could use that for my journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh and then have an hour to spare before the train I want to catch.

Yes, with senior railcard.

I am planning a trip to Glasgow in March and would like to go up via West Coast and back via East Coast. On my outward bound journey I propose to leave Cheltenham at 8.12, change at New St and pick up the Virgin train at 9.20 arriving in Glasgow at 13.17. My first question is can I use an "off...
