I've just gone through almost all the process. It's concerning because at no point does it mention when the new card will be valid from (or to), and it asks me to fill in all my details again (so it feels like a new order, rather than a renewal) and then at the end it says "any incomplete...

Thanks - that's helpful! I did search for other threads about this, but didn't find anything. 1695639020 Perhaps yes. But it's hard to know if that's what they mean, and I didn't want to take the risk and get sent a new railcard that's start on Thursday. 1695639115 Website. I see the old one...

It will? That's good. I wish they'd make that clear when you are ordering.. there is no sign of start date or anything..

Hi All, My physical Network Railcard runs out on 23rd October, and I would like to renew it to start again from the next day, or just a couple of days before. But there seems to be no option to choose a start day on the railcard website.. Am I missing something? And if not, is there a work...

That's a pain. So I have to touch in and out, even though I don't need to leave the station. This makes my turnaround much longer.. how annoying. Thank you though - I couldn't find an answer to that question anywhere! 1695026416 I'd definitely be less than 70mins. 5mins or less at London...

Hi All, I'm potentially travelling from South Norwood to London Bridge to meet someone, give them something they forgot at my house, and then come back. I wont leave the station and will come straight back again. Any ideas what fare I'll be charged?

SWR have said I need to use southern services. My only option is to get a refund (which requires me posting my ticket back to them ) and buying a new ticket (at a much higher cost) via the Clapham Junction route. Rubbish, but oh well..

Thank you! I’ve written a variation on your post and will see what they say. This is all incredibly helpful - but also incredibly disappointing that this is what I have to do. What a mess of a system. 1692525418 Reply from Southern:

They have said I can travel the next day, but I have an event to attend that only happens on 26th. I’m also getting the impression that anyone I’m talking to has limited knowledge and is just reading from a T&C page sent to them.

I don’t want to just argue this point on the train. It’s probably going to be a horrible journey anyway. I want to get this resolved with the operators before I travel - either with a new ticket or something in writing that says I can use my existing ticket on the other line. Can anyone...

This is what they said. I don’t know that part of the world at all. I could find any trains going that way - and told them so - but they said if I “select travel via Barnham it should come up” but I haven’t tried it. Do you really think they have no idea what they are talking about? I wouldn’t...

Southern have come back to me with another route, that doesn’t appear on any search I did. It takes me from East Croydon to Ford, and then change to Southampton. This extends my already long way round journey by 50 minutes, most of that waiting for the connecting train. So I assume because...

Hi All, I booked an advance single direct between East Croydon and Southampton Central for 26th August. It’s the long way round but direct and a lot cheaper than going via Clapham Junction. But now the strikes mean that they have cancelled the train. The email I got said I could take the...

Thanks! Got it. The trains at that time in the morning seem to be the same, the only difference I can see is that the 730 stops at Stratford at the moment, but doesn't normally. This is annoying as it would be the perfect train for me if it had that option of using Stratford and avoid zone 1...

Is it possible to look at a timetbale that isn't the current one? And I would have thought the Covid timetables would stop at less stations and not more.. but maybe I'm wrong... Thanks!
