Thanks, because of your reply, I tried another local railway station and they issued it me without any problems. I did try buying it on the forum website, entering blank on the to station or repeating the ticket name, but neither worked. When I originally bought the tickets, could I have...

Thanks everyone for the replies, really looking forward to it. Its been ages since I last went down to London, and more so since we just went for railway travelling.

Mainly Elizabeth Line stations, we spent our youth going to London and doing all the main line stations. I remember going in and out of Broad Street to get from one side of London to another on a ALR. So its mainly to see the new bits. 1702589113 I did try our local national rail station, but...

We are coming to London for the day on Sunday. The prime purpose is to travel along the Elizabethan line, stopping off to admire the stations. We arrive into Euston at midday, what should be on our list of must visits? We intend to purchase a London zone 1 to 6 Travelcard, as I understand it...

Hi both, I have had Hive about half a dozen years at a guess, always used the web site rather than my phone. After failing to be able to logon to the web site, I installed the app on my phone last week, but it didn't give me the screen to enter 2FA code. I was going to give then a call later...

Thanks, I will try that next week.

Hi folks, Anyone one else use the Hive system to control their heating? I have used the web application for some time and found it very useful, but now when I attempt to logon on my laptop via the internet I get a message saying "Your account must have a verified phone number and Two Factor...

This reminds me of the time I was going to Scotland from Leyland with work, 30+ years ago. The Preston train from Manchester to Blackpool had been cancelled, a morning commuter train. The inter-city Manchester to Scotland (Manchester/Liverpool to Glasgow/Edinburgh) slowly came down Platform 1 to...

I also wonder if it is a cost saving exercise, reduce the number of First Class seats, so less staff in First Class required. I also wonder if the market south from the North West is busier and London bound/based people are prepared to pay a higher SP supplement. But from the North West north...

My experience exactly. £7.90 with railcard, Preston to Glasgow Advance Standard. £44.65 1st. £24.40 SP with 25% early booking discount. The lounge at Glasgow Central was often worth a call. But for now, its always Standard. I would move to SP if the train was very busy, but as yet, have not...

I had a Northern day ranger yesterday, the one with vouchers. I asked for a day ranger and received one. No issues.

Stagecoach now run Lancashire County Council services Chorley to Southport and Chorley to Ormskirk.

Well yes, if those people pay Standard Premium or a higher First class fare. But not if they drop to standard. But I am sure it has been calculated that the overall change in fares will attract a higher income, and presumably less staffing costs.

Not just your view. As a leisure traveller, I either don't use the train or buy a very cheap standard advance.

Many years ago, on a touring holiday around India, the tour organiser hired a bogie (coach) which we travelled around in. Coupling up to various trains to take us to places around India. We slept in it overnight (folding camp beds in the lounge area or on the luggage racks) and cooked in the...
