    Return tickets when journey partly cancelled

    Does anyone know how to buy an return ticket when a train is partly cancelled. I wanted an off peak return between A and C via B. The price is the same for A to C as for B to C. In the past I would just go to a station and buy a return ticket but station A is not manned and B needs a car...

    Advance tickets delay

    I was travelling from Manchester Airport to Newcastle. My ticket is "Airport Advance Single". It says "Valid only on the booked services below and required connecting services". The shown booked services are Manchester Airport to York (TPE) and York to Newcastle (Virgin East Coast)...

    Different Fares

    It's only 15p but... I've been looking to purchase a ticket from Carlisle to Kendal. Nationalrail website gives me two Off-Peak Singles at £5.35 each = £10.70 or an Off-Peak Return of £10.85. I suppose the Off-Peak Return has greater validity - return within a month as opposed to on the...

    PlusBus Delays

    Anyone know the effect of Plusbus delays. I used a Plusbus ticket to get to mainline station. Journey should have taken 13 mins. It took 24 mins. Plus departure was delayed by 17 mins. The consequence was that I missed my train for which I had an Advance ticket. Is it just hard luck...

    Lack of trains London Bridge to St Pancras

    I had to go to King's Cross from a South Eastern station today and thought the best way was to transfer to First Capital Connect at London Bridge; with an easy interchange at both London Bridge and St Pancras - Kings Cross instead of struggling with steps to the Tube. Imagine my surprise to...

    Because of the change to class 350s from class 185s, TPE has extended to 1745 Lancaster to Manchester Airport to start from Oxenholme to start at 1731 (Mon-Fri). It arrives at platform 2 and departs from platform 1. It has a long wait at Oxenholme. It cannot use the Windermere platform 3 since...

    Platform displays

    On two days running the platform display at Kendal has shown the train from Windermere delayed. Every minute the display showed the delay had increased by a minute. On one the delay was shown as +18. Then the train arrived virtually on time. What's going on?

    Late Running Trains

    The Windermere-Oxenholme train was running late. As it was entering Oxenholme, the train south was also arriving. There was a mad rush under the subway to get the south conection. Cases on wheels going at speed with people following. Train staff shouting to people to get on the train because it...

    Unobtainable Tickets

    The National Rail site identified a very good advanced ticket from London to Hastings. It directed me to Southern to buy it. The ticket wasn't offered on that site at that price. Indeed the actual train (changing at Brighton) was not even shown as an option. I tried East Coast where I...

    Trackside West Coast Main Line

    I travelled on the West Coast Main Line south of Stoke. Every now and again there were a line of posts on each side of the track - they were t-shaped and on the cross bar there were a large number of squares-either sensors or number indicators - there might have been about 10 in a row...
