I've bought tickets from a station in advance before. Did the railcard at the same and asked for it to start on the day of the tickets (was about 4 weeks before travel). No issues at all.

As this site has helped me out quite a bit I thought I'd share one back. I signed into my Nector account this morning and saw an offer with TV West Coast 1,000 bonus points when you buy a reduced £10 ticket between London and Manchester/Preston/Chester with Virgin Trains. "Bookings must...

A short while later and a letter had arrived today with the cheque enclosed for the remainder. Now all received in full :-) Many thanks to all those who have helped

Cheers for the comments all, I've had a letter proof-read and dropped it in the post today. Lets wait and see what they say. I'll be sure to let you all know :-)

Well I feel that receiving about 75% of something when I think that I should be entitled to 100% is a bit crappy...

I couldn't find my original post as it had been split out of the other topic - but I've an update for it which I'd like peoples thoughts on and whether or not it is worth pursuing further.... I travelled from Reading to Oxenholme across split tickets Reading - Paddington - Off Peak Single FGW...

Mods' note: split from Delay Repay using split tickets Does anyone know if VT West are similar in this scenario? I'm awaiting to hear back from them about a 3 leg journey where I was delayed with them on the last leg. I'm expecting to have to fight it out with them...

So their landlord is very likely commiting council tax fraud by only paying CT on the one property, probably doesn't have planning permission for the conversion either. but that's unrelated to the matter at hand...

My experience with TPE when I've left something in the past started off poor too. When I did get to speak with someone they were lovely, polite and friendly and even waived their fee for me without me even asking. Tried to email TPE customer services twice to say thank you and pass on my...

Right here, I used to do it all the time when I lived there. Far cheaper than boarding the 1 train an hour from Wigan. Advances for a few quid as opposed to generally over 40 quid out of Wigan. Better chance of getting a seat No having to walk across the road in Wigan when its raining As...

For anyone out and about on the Motorway, download the Moto App to your smartphone. Daily offers for the shops at the Moto Services with up-to 40% off at Costa / Eat & Drink Co. / Burger King. Costa is usually integrated with EDC so if they're mentioned on a daily deal (and Costa not) I've...

Cheers! I was for some reason thinking it was only permitted on the return leg.

Hi all, I'm looking at buying an Anytime Day Return (£15.80) and am wondering if I can use this to travel outward from Reading to Didcot, break my journey at Didcot and then travel onwards later that day to Oxford? I'm believing the route is valid as I can see journeys coming up on the...

I've been asked to pay the £10 at Wigan NW in the past, when other times have been free...

What's that motto, if it's too good to be true.... ha ha. Oh well, cheers all for the swift responses!

Hey all, May need to commute tomorrow morning from Reading to Didcot and have seen the easement regarding Cholsey... 700137 Customers travelling from Cholsey via Didcot Parkway in possession of tickets routed 'Any Permitted' may travel via Reading. This easement applies in both...

Cheers folks, much appreciated. The Reading - Banbury leg has gone up in price so I've bought the open return for simplicity :)

Hi all, Looking to make this journey on the first weekend in September, travelling out evening on the 4th Sept and returning evening of the 6th Sept. Currently got the following itinerary and am wondering if I'm missing any tricks or splits somewhere... All tickets are advances too : -...

Reading has a woman who frequently asks for £20 so she can travel back to Swindon. She never does...

I currently commute part of this route (Swindon - Reading via Didcot). The M4 is hell of a morning rush hour and I can understand how FGW justify their fares for that time. 2 hours to drive from Swindon to Reading. Unreal!!! I thankfully travel off-peak the majority of the time, so splitting...
