Hi all, I'm trying to book a space on the seated sleeper from London to Fort William for early July, but using www.sleeper.scot it seems to be fully booked not only during this period but every day I try during summer 2015. Is it genuinely this popular, or is there some other reason it...

I am about to do a balance transfer to a new credit card. The old credit card has a number of outstanding pickup tickets on it which I would rather not pickup all at once since (i) it will null the Moneyback Guarantee on the Southern tickets, and (ii) I find it more convenient to pickup near the...

Going to Stansted soon from Brighton one-way (travelling off-peak). The normal single is just over £25 with a railcard. I seem to have missed the cheap £3 advance tickets to Victoria (that is with an oyster single and single from Tottenham Hale for £12). I typed in Brighton to Cambridge...

Given this line uses in-cab signalling, is there actually any reason why the line speed for HS1 should be 186mph if the trains using the line are sufficiently modern? (on the straight sections at least) Basically what i am asking is, with Eurostar getting new trains, will these be able to...

So what ticket/deal has turned out to be your proudest moment? I'm sure there's some very savvy people on here!! :D
