    Club Avanti

    I just found this which seems very useful! https://my.railmiles.me/mileage-engine/ The use of the free return journey is an interesting question to which I cannot find the answer in their Ts & C's. I was wondering myself as potentially I would like to use one of mine to travel Euston to...

    Club Avanti

    As long as the journeys are 75 miles or more each counts booked on your account regardless of who used it, so three. A return counts as two journeys. They are added after travel not when you book so bear that in mind towards the end of the membership year.

    Delay Repay/Break Of Journey

    Thank you for all the advice, much appreciated. Yes, the Avanti Advances went on sale weeks ago and the Northern leg only last Friday. I'll probably book the Northern Advance through Avanti as well in that case, cheers. :)

    Delay Repay/Break Of Journey

    Hi, 06.10 Euston to Manchester Piccadilly with split tickets (Advances & Day Single) travelling on and booked with Avanti. 08.50 Manchester Piccadilly to Windermere with Northern going to book Advance Single. (These weren't available when booking the EUS to MAN tickets). Just wondering if one...

    Delay Repay/Break Of Journey

    Many thanks for that. Also re split tickets, what happens if you are travelling with two different operators and there is a strike affecting one operator only? You wish to either travel on another day or obtain a refund as per the affected operator's advice. What is the situation regarding the...

    Delay Repay/Break Of Journey

    Hi there, Hypothetical but entirely probable scenario coming up... Travelling from Aviemore to Stirling. Staying overnight. Continuing the next day to Glasgow Queen Street then to Glasgow Central and onto Euston. Return half of Anytime Return from AVM to GLQ/GLC. Advance Single from GLC to...

    Avanti West Coast Cancellations

    TBF it was via DM and they were apologetic too but I'm not impressed that having to check the last train isn't cancelled is the default!

    Avanti West Coast Cancellations

    Well, indeed. Even better for the return journey. Was booked on last train, that got cancelled and got no notification at all. Just happened to check at lunchtime. When I raised it on "Twitter" told my responsibility to check before travelling. :|

    Plusbus farce at Glasgow Central

    I had a weird one there at a ScotRail window on the main concourse last year. Sold me the PlusBus ticket but only after - literally - chucking an RTV I wanted to use back at me. (Twice IIRC).

    EMR refusing Scottish money

    Have they tried that in Corby...? ;)

    Could London Overground run between Chingford and Walthamstow Central, during the Hackney Downs line closure?

    No step-free access to/from the Victoria Line either once at ticket office level. Stairs before the escalator from Central London, after the escalator towards Central London.

    Ah, good! Thank you :)

    Club Avanti

    Thanks both for the replies I just don't know what I can/shouldn't expect next "year" after reaching the top tier this year? Do I get another Premium Return after 9 journeys and a First Return after 21...????? Or just one? Or neither...?!

    Club Avanti

    Well that's what I always thought but when I looked at it again this is what I don't get... At the end of each membership year, your total of qualifying journeys will be reset to zero. You will remain in your current membership tier for the next year. If you start your new membership year at...

    Club Avanti

    I've tried to answer this for myself by reading the Ts&Cs to no avail... Last year in Club Avanti I didn't reach any free ticket threshold and stayed in "Silver". This year, I've reached the next tier "Gold" already and earned the free Premium Return ticket. I've got a few journeys not taken yet...

    Aviemore to London BoJ overnight Stirling

    Thank you for that, looks like the best option. £85.50 2T Railcard GLQ to AVM to STG (stay overnight) to GLQ then £46.20 to EUS.

    Aviemore to London BoJ overnight Stirling

    Ah, thank you. Only until 5th July for this route it seems. However, it does appear every week is the same, no Advances on the 13:34 from AVM to GLQ. We are due to travel from GLQ to AVM first the previous weekend so it looks like the best bet will be rather than two Advances from GLQ £27.50 and...

    Setting gates to reject tickets - Thameslink

    Had this at St. James Liverpool last weekend upon entry after buying the tickets seconds earlier from the ticket office as there were no machines anyway. Go figure.

    Aviemore to London BoJ overnight Stirling

    Thanks both. It's for July 10/11. The ScotRail advances are not available yet however, I did a dummy run for May dates and they never seem to be available on the 13:34 from AVM to STG or the service before :(
