A Facebook spat with someone whose 'friend' works in a ticket office apparently, they didn't like being called out on it being a load of tripe so I thought I best check, they tried to insist it was like airlines who sell off cancelled seats at next to nothing, laughable in itself as airlines...

Bit of an odd one this. Can Ticket Office staff find better deals on tickets that aren't available online, i.e I have been told that cancelled tickets could be sold off for cheaper than the advertised fare by ticket office staff. That fares can be reduced at short notice and only said Ticket...

Thanks AlterEgo much appreciated

Is there any way of finding out how long a particular train was delayed back in July? The train service i am looking for was the 16.02 London Paddington to Plymouth on the 30th July, wanting to find out how late it was into Plymouth if possible. Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone, yes this was a return to the forums after a long time away, i think the Manchester route is the one we will go for and return via London. Little un is looking forward to seeing the Flying Scotsman at Shildon on Friday and then we will break the journey back at York for a couple...

MYself and the boy are travelling from Plymouth to Newcastle on Weds returning on Saturday via York for a quic stop off at the NRM, we have a super off peak return (any route). We can either go on the XC straight to Newcastle or via London, are any other routes valid on this ticket? i.e via...

As i'm in Exeter if anyone wants to pm me then i am sure i can get them tickets this weekend for this trip and post them registered/recorded delivery to them.

I know when i went inter railing i managed to get one at a local travel agents and then picked up a further one at Liverpool St for a friend who decided at the last minute to tag along but this was about 15 years ago. If you are London based you won't have any problems picking up a pass on the...

Well,i've done it round Europe inter-railing in the 90s, and believe me some of the East European trains leave a lot to be desired!!! And the Paris to Rome overnight service isnt much fun with 4/6 people in a berth in 30+ degrees!! So 5 hours reading a book shouldnt be too bad.

Thanks for the quick replies, am i right in assuming that to take a normal seat rather than a berth, no supplement would need to be paid?

If i wish to go on the sleeper service from Exeter to Paddington, do i have to book a berth or are there seated carriages to snooze in for the 5 hrs or so it takes?

Ooops my apologies, i obviously cant read that well late at night!

Leaving Waterloo at 07.10 on the 22nd, you arrive at Pinhoe at 10.28 (no changes), this journey is £39.00 for the both of you, buy a seperate single for Pinhoe to Exeter to continue your journey on to Exeter (another 10-15 mins on the same train), this will be about £3 for both of you. Returning...

Often the fares from London are a lot cheaper if you go from Waterloo and split your journey London - Pinhoe (tiny station 2 miles from Exeter Central) and Pinhoe to Exeter. Have saved upwards of £40 per journey in the past splitting it this way
