    Evening all, I had an advanced e-ticket for the 14:15 from Penzance to Paddington on 21st November (booked months ago) When I realised that it was a strike day I made a point of checking the running of the trains throughout the day and everything seemed OK. When I got to Penzance station at...

    I don't normally travel 1st class, but have Devon & Cornwall Railcard for anything beyond Tiverton, but sometimes advances even beat splitting and using the Railcard.

    Night Riviera pricing

    Thanks for all of the detailed replies, I had looked at the overnight Birkenhead ferry, but had discounted it as no berths were available for my date. I note that it is bookable without though. Based on cost, can't really do much better than the anytime Sailrail fare of £56 via Carlisle and...

    How to report an incident at an unmanned level crossing?

    It was Motspur Park, despite my insistence she is refusing to report it. Appreciate the advice to not try and race the barrier, but I don't think many people would feel comfortable waiting track side against the barrier, natural instinct is surely to clear the crossing?
