Hi all Is is possible to buy a PlusBus addon when using a Day Ranger ticket? Going to Bristol using a Heart if Wessex Day Ranger and looking at bus travel in Bristol

Have just purchased a flexi rover for use next week and have entered the first date box ready for its first use on Monday. Took special care to write neatly, then realised I had inadvertantly used blue ink when it should (according to one line I managed to find on the NR website) be black...

Whilst looking for some fares the other day, I came across an anomoly on the Cross Country booking engine which implies that One Day Travelcards are not valid where the journey involves the Elizabeth Line. I have checked two other TOCs (GWR and SWR) and these both correctly show that the...

Hello me again Im looking up options for a day in London where I want to get up to London as quick as possible (its an early start) so will go via Reading, but am spending time in Woking on the way back, from where the best route home is via Basingstoke. The following travelcards are available...

Planning a trip to London but want to stop off at Leatherhead on the way. When travelling from Wokingham, there are three Travelcard options - Any Permitted, Via Staines and "Ascot/Guildford", the latter of which I have previously understood to be valid via Guildford and then via a multitude of...

Good evening all Sorry if this has been asked recently, but please can someone direct me to where I can download the guide to routing easements? I used to pull off a new copy every few months pre-Covid, but have not needed to for over two years now. Planning some trips in the near future where...

I had recently been asked by a work colleague if I could arrange some tickets for them. For reasons I wont go into detail of, I researched the fares online but then went to Reading ticket office to buy them today. I was rather surprised when the ticket clerk was unable to call up and sell the...

I see that the new Bachmann Thomas & Friends range has started to arrive in the shops, with a number of models now showing in stock. Pleased that they are now here, filling the gap in the market since Hornby stopped, however I was somewhat surprised to see that they are using single use plastic...

In the process of building a new layout (only took me four years since moving house to get on with it) and an starting to think about having some signals. From being the only one out there some years ago, Hornby's R406 primitive two aspect die cast signal has been superceded by some much more...

Moderator note: Posts #1 - #9 originally in this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/putting-kingswear-back-onto-the-national-rail-network.211364/ I'd be all in favour of through ticketing to heritage lines which are connected to the National network. Mutually beneficial for both...

Would be grateful if anyone on here could advise whether there has been a fare increase over the summer. I was sorting out some expenses to claim and noticed that my Travelcard from Earley to London, with Network Card discount, had increased by 60p between June and September, a 4% increase. As...

Just tried to book a couple of First Advances on the Cross Country website, which is good because you can choose your seats on their trains. We like to use the tables for two in First Class so having the choice is great. A problem I discovered is that if you have selected an Advance ticket...

Probably been covered before but I have not managed to find it. If I have an outboundary Off Peak One Day Travelcard, which is, as far as I can see, a "Day" ticket in the same manner as any other "Off Peak Day" ticket, am I allowed to break my journey at an intermediate station on the way...

After a day in London yesterday I returned to Paddington to catch a train back to Reading, the next service being shown as the 18:02 Penzance- the down "Golden Hind". Unusual, I thought, as I was sure that the West of England trains normally leave at xx06 during the day and xx03 in the evening...

The Summer Saturday Dundee to Newquay service is off to a good start- NOT. Instead of the expected HST, a Voyager has turned up this morning- and a four car (220016) at that, all the way. RTT showed it booked as an HST however the XC booking engine has always shown a Voyager. When I tweeted...

Went up to London for my Birthday last Saturday and decided to upgrade to First Class each way, taking advantage of South West Trains' £5 weekend First. On the outward trip (the 0700 Southampton to Waterloo), we were sold "X/S STDTO1ST SG", while on the return trip (1939 Waterloo to...

Hi all Over the moon that Hornby's new J15 has arrived. Picking mine up next Saturday and cant wait! My question is can anyone suggest the most suitable coaching stock to use with it? I am having the Late BR variant. I know I only need two coaches but cant identify the most suitable from...

Good morning Does anyone have a list of the ticket codes for rovers and rangers? Such as C01 for the Centro Daytripper etc. I cant find my copy and have an unusual rover to buy which clerks can never find! Thanks David

Currently on a long distance service on day one of our All Line Rovers. The Train Manager came along about half an hour ago and scribbled all over them, as if the ticket was a standard single leg ticket. I questioned it and he got very uppity, at one point tried to blame me for the way I...

Sorry if this has been answered before but I cant find the thread. We have a pair of All Line Rovers, commencing Saturday (05 July) I am sure that I have read on here that an ALR is valid on sleeper services which start the night before. (ie Night Riviera from Paddington at 2345). Can...
