My calculation is that the shortest available route from London Waterloo to Reading is 43 miles 32 chains via Staines and Wokingham. There is a shorter route via Kensington Olympia, but no passenger trains travel by that route in the current timetable. The route from London Waterloo to Reading...

The deterioration in the R number over the last 3 weeks does not fill me with confidence: BBC: Coronavirus R number 15 May 2020 5 June 2020 England NE & Yorks 0.80 0.89 Midlands 0.68 0.90 East 0.71 0.94 London 0.40 0.95 South East 0.73 0.97 South West 0.76 1.00...

Agreed. The Guide describes the boundary on bus service 59 as "Notton - Bleakley Terrace".

You need The West Yorkshire Guide to Cross Boundary Bus & Train Services.

> Can I buy a ticket from Burton to Lichfield City? Yes. A full set of Burton to Lichfield City fares is here. > presumably I have to go in and out of BHM. Not necessarily. All Burton to Lichfield City fares are valid by "Any Permitted" route, and the journey planners offer a choice of going...

It seems to me that the Railcard £26 tickets are made up of one Advance Single in each direction, priced £11.55 in one direction and £15.05 in the other, a total of £26.60.

Last year, six of us had a day trip to Southport on the direct train from Leeds via Manchester. I would be very surprised if Southport - Manchester was not included in the offer.

I'm surprised Class195's email mentions a start time. My email does not mention any specific time. I seem to remember that last year tickets were available not long after midnight.

In my opinion, Steele Road had a good claim to be the most remote "Road" station. It was between Newcastleton and Riccarton Junction on the Carlisle - Galashiels - Edinburgh "Waverley Route".

http://rmme.railmiles.me/ shows that this is the shortest route. It is therefore a Permitted Route.

It also says: I suspect, but am not certain, that the restriction will also be lifted for the 2019/2020 Christmas and New Year period.

Yes. For routeing purposes, Motherwell Group comprises Holytown and Motherwell. See Group Stations. This means that a passenger may use any permitted route from any station in Glasgow Group to either station in Motherwell Group, followed by travel (by the route which does not pass through any...

For many journeys, 20 is a considerable under-estimate. If I have counted correctly, there are 128 different fares between London and Sheffield. 96 London Terminals - Sheffield fares are listed here, with another 32 London Euston - Sheffield fares here.
