That could be the perfect answer @Romilly , thank you :) I never realised St Helens was valid via Manchester but it does look like it is through the Earlstown routing point and NRE prices it the same via Piccadilly or not, good spot :) She didn't say how long she'd be in Liverpool for but even...

Hello, a friend wants to go from London to Liverpool, then to Manchester, then back to London. Or possibly the other way round. She needs flexible tickets so no Advances. Since Manchester isn't a permitted route for London to Liverpool any more, what's the 'best' way to do that? I...

Split the map into cells, each border between 2 cells has a crossing price set according to how busy/popular it is. Your ticket is valid on any route where the total crossing prices is less than that of the main route.

On National Express coaches a return from Brighton to Heathrow costs less than a return from Gatwick to Heathrow, even if the Brighton journey involves changing coaches at Gatwick. And no, you can't stop or start short on that either.

It's quicker and usually cheaper to fly.

Thanks All Line Rover :)

A family member has an Off Peak Return from Manchester Picc to Dorking Sts with a senior railcard. Ticket doesn't seem to show a restriction code (I've not seen it myself) but I'm fairly sure it's SVR with code 2C. brfares.com says Does that mean you can take any Euston to Piccadilly...

I've travelled Euston to Burnage via Piccadilly on a Virgin train that stopped at Wilsmslow. So does that mean I wasn't on a permitted route? No ticket inspectors at any point raised an objection, and I'm fairly sure that wasn't because they thought I'd come via Sheffield :)

Then you understood wrong. CCTV images are subject to the DPA. The ICO publishes some very clear guidance on use of CCTV. There are several people who are clearly identifiable from the images released, even in the images where there's a (really poor) attempt at pixellation. Pretty despicable...

I need to travel from London to Brighton tomorrow at about 1pm - anyone know what the experience has been like so far around that time? Last time I had to travel off peak on a weekday from Victoria during a Southern guards strike the train was virtually empty. I'm not sure whether to use the...

I don't get this. If the OP thinks that there is a PACE requirement that wasn't satisfied then surely they plead not guilty. What's the point of a JR?

I know of at least 6 people who initially had sympathy for the guards, but who consider a 5 day strike is just a p*take that has made them to switch support to Southern. I don't know a single person who has sympathy with this particular strike. Including me. And I hate Southern :(

Well, Southern have finally discovered their missing train once I sent them screenshots and links to the proof. And have coughed up the vouchers, a mere 2 months after I sent the claim. Vague template apologies for the delay and inconvenience. Nothing about strengthening their work flows so it...

What's the issue with travelling through London? If you just want to avoid the tube, walk from Euston to St Pancras and get a Brighton train from there.

That's interesting. realtime.nationalrail.co.uk redirects back to the main national rail site, so I guess you need to link directly to a particular page? Still waiting for a reply from Southern to my complaint. Perhaps their managers are busy at the moment ;)
