    Avanti Chester-Crewe-London Saturday mornings

    Can anyone explain why the Saturday 0832 departure from Chester is timetabled so erratically? It is advertised to run this Saturday (11 Jan) but not the 18th. It hasn't run regularly for months, despite providing useful and popular connections at Crewe for the LNWR stopper to London, the EMR to...

    Greek Railways

    Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of future developments of the Greek Rail system, particularly the following: Completion date for direct services Athens-Patras - this seems to have been going on for ever. Mesolonghi-Agrinio line - surprised to see so much unused good quality track this...

    Problem renewing railcard online

    I've had problems attempting to renew a railcard which expires soon. On logging into my account I select my current railcard. When I get to the renewal screen I am able to choose duration and card type but the field 'Who is this for?' is greyed out and pressing 'Continue' gives an...

    Finland ticketing and fares

    Checking train times on the VR site I can see what seem to be advance fares but I can't find any reference to walk-up fares. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Restriction code FB

    I don't pretend to understand 'Unpublished Restrictions', but from what I can see, fares with code FB are currently unavailable. Is that correct?

    Avanti Compulsory Reservations

    Using the Avanti 0836 from Chester to Crewe tomorrow (30/10/21), Off-peak Day Return Fares for Crewe and beyond are showing as unavailable. as there are no remaining reservations. How strictly is this likely to be enforced - would buying for an earlier or later non-reservable train allow...

    Which pubs should have a microstation?

    You know the pub - yards from the tracks, miles from a station. I'll start with 'Chester Telford's Halt'.

    Transport for Wales not advertising its own services

    I'm intrigued that on the printed timetables at Chester TFW do not advertise the fact that their Halton Curve services call at Runcorn and Liverpool South Parkway, despite showing them to Frodsham and Lime St.

    Greek Ferries - Patra to Corfu

    It's notoriously difficult to get accurate, up-to-date info on Greek ferry timetables and fares and I haven't been able to find anything definitive on this route. There appear to be ferries from Patra to Italy which call at Corfu but I can't find any sites that will offer a fare, suggesting...

    Fares using CH + AW only

    Having seen a recent thread regarding fares valid only on Chiltern and Arriva Wales, I had a play around for a friend's possible journey from Marylebone to the NW. National Rail Enquiries came up with the CH+AW fare I expected, but also allowed travel using West Midlands Trains north from...

    Good Friday - 30 March - WCML and HS1 connections

    Advances are now available for West Coast main line to Euston, but no through ( + connections) fares via St Pancras to Kent. Does anyone know if they are likely to appear or would it be best to take the advances currently available and buy an on-the-day off-peak return?

    Windscreen wipers

    Hope this is the right section. I've been told that yesterday a WCML London-Brum-Scotland had windscreen wiper problems and departed Warrington late. RTT shows a 30 min delay but apparently the rain reversed to put trailing cab in front. Where would this have happened...

    Boundary Zone + HS1

    Fairly basic question: Are BZ6-Destination tickets valid on HS1 (+ connection)? Thanks in advance.

    Chester - Macclesfield Routes

    About 10 days ago I checked for routes and fares for Chester-Macc on Jan 1. Chose a journey Chester-Crewe-Stockport-Macc. A couple of days later the same journey planner no longer offered those changes, instead offering the same ticket, giving the same train from Crewe with a change at...

    Problem booking on TPE Black Friday offer

    I've got through to the final (payment) page of my booking but I keep getting prompted to re-check details. All is correct apart from the country field, which is mandatory, but doesn't present a drop-down list or allow any entry, so remains blank. Any thoughts? Edited - please ignore - after...

    Off-peak single

    Looking at Chester to London, 19/11, on TPE site, I cannot find any services on which the off-peak single is offered when a return journey is requested. Is this the 'saver half'? NRE offers the fare for the same requested services. Am I making a basic mistake or is this an error in the...

    Central London - Bromley

    A friend has accidentally bought tickets from London U1 to Bromley North and return instead of to Bromley South. I know they're only a short distance apart but the timings are important. Would he have any problems using the tickets? if so, any advice? Thanks in advance.

    Virgin - Saturday - North West to London all-zones tkts

    I regularly used to book these on the LM site until it was 'updated'. It is still offered as an option on LM, but always fails to load any fares. I've tried other sites - Virgin, TPE, but can't even get the option. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    Chester-Llangollen

    Chester - Huyton

    The ATMs at Chester no longer offer the (via Birkenhead) Off Peak Day Return fare of £4.90. The only return fare offered is the Anytime Day Return at £7.70. The Off Peak Day Return is still available on National Rail website. Which is correct?
