Hi, I'm looking at making a return journey Stourbridge Junction to Chester Road in August. I have looked at brfares, and an off-peak day return is £8.30 (I'm travelling on a Saturday). I remembered once seeing something about a West Mids day ranger kind of ticket - I have found the following...

It's a mobile ticket (yes, I know... I have tried to explain the difference to family member). AFAIK, mobile tickets have to be shown physically on device, leaving you at the mercy of signal and battery life. I do not personally use trainline, having heard nothing good about them on here over...

Hi apologies it's actually an iPhone 5c... don't ask! 1651150556 Have now resolved. Turns out you can't cancel, but you can amend. I amended to exactly the same journey, and selected TOD. It will refund card the original amount and take a new payment. What a palaver, but hopefully this might...

Hi A family member has bought Mobile tickets through Trainline however his phone does not support the app (old SE, cannot update to new OS so cannot get the app). Is there a way to convert this to either an E-ticket (so I can print it) or even TOD so I can sort at a station for him?

Hi just for clarity, if I get off at Marylebone, enjoy brunch/lunch near Baker St, then carry on journey to Brighton, there will be no issue when though I may well have missed a train out (from what I can see, Victoria - Brighton trains are plentiful)

Perfect thank you :)

Ahh great thank you. I have just seen that outbound service London - Brighton is actually from Victoria. Am I ok to enter underground at Baker Street (nice cafe near there I'd like to have brunch at)? Not sure if ticket will work to start late at Baker Street or do I walk back to Marylebone to...

Hi sorry for vagueness. Essentially going to Brighton, would be going straight there so will stick to sensible route on underground. Coming back, would potentially be going to Wood Green. I am guessing here, but would the sensible thing to do be to take the Jubilee to Green Park, exit the...

Thanks. Would you suggest just using contact less for the journey North London -> MYB then? Is the route relevant on the underground bit (I.e. logical route would be Jubilee to Waterloo and Bakerloo to MYB - would there be issues if I went rogue and took an entirely different tube?)

Hi, I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Brighton over a weekend (Fri-Sun) in July. This involves a cross London connection. I am aware outward journey needs to be done in one go (I think) but you can split the return. As my ticket will incorporate a London bridge to Marylebone tube...

Hi Gray thanks for the heads up about delay repay. I think I will probably leave that if I am able to get the next direct service and they would have ticket acceptance for the earlier ones - will bear in mind if no ticket acceptance in place though as will end up roughly an hour later than...

Ahh that actually works in my favour as the next XC is the one I want, whereas the 3 in between are different TOCs. Would you suggest I visit the ticket office at Wolverhampton once I have the tickets printed out on the machine to get them validated? Is it likely that reservations will still be...

Thanks for the replies. The return bit is a standard ticket but the singles Stafford - Manchester are Advance tickets. I will give Twitter a go :)

Hi, I have an upcoming journey on Sat 26th from Wolverhampton -> Manchester and back (day trip). I have just received an email from trainsplit advising the return I was booked on has now been cancelled. It advises me to catch the next available train - however I am wondering whether I can...

Hi, I am planning on utilising the first class upgrade option with CrossCountry on Feb 26th from Wolverhampton to Manchester. I have, however, noted that the t&c on food says Sandwiches are Complimentary for weekend journeys of 90 minutes or more. My journey is only 1h09mins - is it at all...

Thanks all - think I will do a split ticket at Stafford in that case, to afford the flexibility on the return leg. A secondary question if I may - is the first class weekend upgrade still available if I do a split ticket, and (more importantly I suppose), is it worth it at the moment?

Hi all, I am trying to get some advance tickets for a return journey from Wolverhampton to Manchester on February 26th. I have looked on Crosscountry however it only seems to be offering the standard return - however we are now under the 12 week mark so thought they should be available? Does...

I remember once getting on at Great Malvern (ticket office closed, pre TVM days) and the conductor came between there and Malvern Link (you can see one station from the other platform). Cost around £1.50 IIRC... still, quicker than walking!

Ahh. Hadn't realised it's the same price. I think as well BMO - JEQ would be a "sensible" journey so couldn't really justify getting rid of that.

Just re-read the post. It appears it is single tickets that are bought rather than season tickets. Not sure how to discourage this as singles still have to be available I think :/
