Thanks! 1663094304 Thanks!

Hi all Looking to head down from Manchester to London in a few weeks to take in a Saturday matinee, then onwards to Reading overnight. If I were to buy an off-peak return from Manchester to Reading via London, and break my journey on the outbound, would this be a *mandatory* routing on the...

I complained to the Twitter team who gave me the advice. Their response: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused and the experience you have had with us recently. - Ross" For a tenner I cba escalating to the Ombudsman, which is undoubtedly what Avanti hope will happen. Have learned a lot...

Thanks - again good to know. Rail companies don't make it easy for folk. I consider myself more switched on than average where it comes to the quirks of ticketing, but even still get caught out...

Thanks! Good to know! Ended up paying Avanti a tenner to cancel and rebooked via TrainSplit but with paper tickets so I don't need to worry about any hassle on the day. Was able to collect from my local (smaller) station in GM too, which Avanti historically hasn't let me do, insisting I collect...

I know train booking engines are designed primarily for the majority of Joe Public, who just want to get from A to B in the fastest and cheapest manner, but it would be good to be able to purchase a flexible ticket without having to select a specific train (that you know you have zero intention...

Which TOCs use the best tech for ticket sales?

Complete with the standard TPE app ticketing wording apparently banning Break of Journey... :D

Having given them a second request, Avanti have now replied to say (incorrectly) that even if they'd issued Manchester Stations to London Terminals it's not valid on the St Pancras via Luton, Leicester and Sheffield routing...

There is no back on a digital ticket. But thanks for your confirmation on its validity.

And rightly so. If it becomes a habit to select it when booking then I won't forget on journeys where it is valid! :)

There's no Railcard discount; I just habitually select the railcard so I don't forget it on journey's where it is valid... :) It was £94.50.

It's Avanti, and it looks like the image on their website (only it's an OffPeak Day Return) Original question remains though - can I use the return element of the ticket on the Permitted Route out of St Pancras via Sheffield? 1644266626 It does include a seat reservation - impossible to buy a...

Off peak return at £94.50

Hi all Probably a simple yes/no question for those more knowledgable than I... Avanti have issued an Off-Peak return from Manchester to London as specfically Piccadilly to Euston rather than to London Terminals. It's a flexible ticket, any permitted route, any operator. Will it still be valid...

Thanks! Would never have come up with that as an option!

Correct. Ultimately it's a return trip to Coventry but looking to vary the outbound route. No tickets purchased at all at this stage. I could purchase Manchester - Shrewsbury and Stoke - Manchester with the Day Ranger covering the rest of the journey. I've also just noticed that by changing at...

Effectively. Continuing south as far as Coventry then returning on the XC direct service later on.

Thanks!
