Indeed. Apparently @lkpridgeon was on the same train as well, but towards the front. And @js517 was on the footbridge at Hamilton Central. Clearly the model railway exhibition is attracting us in droves!

Yeah - bought these tickets myself on a few occasions in the past - they were the fare to Kidderminster plus a supplment for the SVR. They don't seem to be available any more, though.

I remember being on a Danzey to Rhymney ticket back when the 37's were on the Rhymney line. The guard from Brum to Bristol Parkway simply said "I've never heard of either of those", passed the ticket and moved on.

And an alternative view of the data is here, http://timetablehistory.com/times.aspx?uid=Y52090&date=20231116, which clearly shows the stops were planned and then cancelled on the day.

It might cause unnecessary grief (and possibly cost) for the customer in the event of delays, though.

I'm not sure than an accredited ticket site would be allowed to do that. The itineraries produced would no longer be valid for such things as missed connections due to earlier delays, or indeed for Delay Repay.

The above will give the fare for most "normal" tickets on the majority of public railcards. But if you're going beyond that, remember that: the discount can change based on the railcard, there are some fares which can't be discounted at all, some that can only be discounted with specific...

Towards the top right are three buttons - "Best value", "Fastest" and "Cheapest". The default is "Best value" which attempts to balance the price against the journey time. If you select "Fastest" you'll get the fast journeys no matter how much more expensive they are. Likewise, with the...

Although it's certainly possible to match other itineraries to the ticket(s) held, it's probably more difficult than it seems at first glace when there's disruption. If you are delayed, there may be ticket acceptance in place, for which there's no data feed so systems can't automate it. Or a...

So, just to clarify what's happening here. The 16-17 railcard (railcard code TSU) is a geographically restricted railcard. There must be a "RR" entry for railcard "TSU" in the fares data "locations" table for every location a journey passes through for the railcard to be valid. Portway Parkway...

The timetable data says that it goes from Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (HWV) and not Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Bus (HWX). See https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/simple/gb-nr:HWV.

Currently the timetable data confirms that the 11.20 from Edinburgh to Kings Cross is indeed an LNER service, and does call at York. See http://timetablehistory.com/times.aspx?uid=G23227&date=20230702.

This is actually harder than it seems using split tickets. If you don't have a return itinerary, how are you supposed to know which split points to use? Or do you just use the best outbound split points? For example, going North East from Birmingham, a set of splits including Willington is...

For future reference, I don't think you need the complicated set of via points. Just search excluding Avanti and it finds the 08.11 journey just fine.

@infobleep I think you mean the second itinerary departs at 08.11 - if it departed at 09.11 it would arrive at Clapham before it departed Surbiton!
