It's the same up in Scotland too. Glasgow to Edinburgh Anytime Single is £13.60 on Scotrail and only £8.50 if you use CrossCountry only tickets. The XC fare used to be as low as £2.00 a few years ago whilst the Scotrail one was around a tenner. Your findings sum up just how unnecessarily...

The Uk is a different world compared to some other countries. I was in Vegas last christmas on the SDX bus on Christmas day going to a shopping outlet. On the bus there were regular announcements stating that all bus travel was free on New Years Eve from 9pm until 4am the following morning. None...

There is however a massive flaw at Glasgow Central, and that is the lift! If you're coming off platforms 11 to 15 I think it is (the far ones) you can get the lift down one floor to the concourse without going through any barriers. Its madness not have this covered but Ive seen loads of...

Im not sure why Morpeth is even in the equation. It's twice the distance to the Airport from Morpeth as it is from the City Centre?

Thanks a lot for your help. Youre so much more useful than the info National Rail just gave me. The websites are crap with information today.

anyone know what to do if your train terminates at peterborough??? im booked on the 11am from edb

Never thought about it like this, but you make a good point. Surely a reservation only system would be the most effective way to control the amount of passengers needing "alternative" transport. At least then the TOC's have a reasonably accurate number to play with

Im feeling somewhat jinxed this weekend. Ive had travel booked since 5th Oct, Glasgow to London via Edinburgh. Obvious choice was WCML only to find out Watford to Euston was a no go. I thought ok, and extra hour or so on EC isnt so bad... but now this, lol... If I hadn't of booked a non...

Im travelling from Glasgow to Kings Cross on the 27th December. I have an EC & Connections ticket. I will be travelling into Glasgow Central on a local train. Is there anything stopping me taking a train from Central via Shotts instead of walking across the city to Queen Street with my...

Found this video... is this the same train? http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnybrauns/12176943744/

My biggest wish is for a simplified ticketing structure.

Ok, maybe "drain on society" wasnt exactly an accurate remark but you get where im coming from.... Attitude is everything... Refusing to pay, refusing to accept a UFN and then refusing to give name address is the hallmark of someone that goes through life purposely trying to avoid paying for...

I hope they get hit with the whole lot... it's the attitude of these drains on society that make life expensive for everyone else.

Is this really worth the debate for the sake of paying the single fare (£2) from Longton to Stoke? I Really wouldnt trouble myself with the worry...

There's no services between Glasgow and Inverclyde until 4pm... Looks like a day off for me then!
