Hi everyone, I've just been on the phone with Transport for Wales. I have an advance ticket from Llandudno to Crewe, changing at Chester. The customer service representative booked me a bike reservation from Llandudno to Chester, but she said that the Chester to Crewe train was unreservable...

Hi guys, I'm having a tricky time with national rail website. I have a couple of questions- Firstly, I have found a fare on BRfares that I am unable to find on the national wesbite. It's an off-peak return for £117 each with a two together railcard. Here it is on BRfares ...

Hi everyone, I have a super off peak return via Honiton from Chiswick to Exeter St Davids. I bought it from Chiswick as on my return journey that's where I'll be returning to. However, on my outward journey I tried to start it from Wandsworth Town, as this is closest to where I live. This is on...

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/jun/05/southen-southeastern-london-bridge-departure-boards I thought I would bring this to everyone's attention. This situation seems ridiculous- but also all too common where train companies are fighting and no one takes responsibility. What do you think...

I was travelling on a service from York to Newcastle on a LNER service with a North Country 4 in 8 day Rover. The Guard said that it wasn't valid 'as that Rover is for the Peak District' and I would have to purchase a new ticket. It wasn't until I showed him the map of validity that I had...
