There is a browser called Puffin which you can download from the app store. This will almost certainly take you straight to the desktop site.

It worked in the barrier at Tottenham Hale, and there were no further checks, so all's well. Thanks for your help.

09.55 Liverpool Street 10.07 Tottenham Hale 10.42 Stansted Airport I want to travel on the above train on a weekday using a London to Audley End Off Peak Return, and making use of the Network discount. Can I take the tube to Tottenham Hale and board the train there, even the ticket...

I always try to get the right ticket, so for an intended journey from Frankfurt airport to Mainz, I had done prior research and found the price should be €4,65 for one adult. After arriving by air, I bought a ticket from the ticket machine as follows: von: Frankfurt(M)Flughafen nach: 5000...
