    Off Peak Day Return coming back from different station

    Hello, midweek next week I will be visiting a friend in Farnham so have checked and the best fare from my local station, South Kenton, seems to be a £13 with Network Card minimum fare via Clapham Junction Off Peak Day Return. It will now be more convenient to meet in Fleet and then walk to...

    Norwich to London via Great Yarmouth

    I was looking to book travel from Norwich to Liverpool Street for a midweek morning early December and as usual there are plenty of £9 advance singles available. As I will have a few hours spare that morning I thought I might try to catch one of the loco-hauled services for a quick trip out to...

    London Overground / Underground TOD Ticket Machine collection

    My local station, South Kenton on the Watford - Euston local line, has never had TOD collection facilities, in fact the nearest collection point on the line has always been, rather inconveniently, Watford Junction or Euston. Today however I booked some online tickets for a journey commencing...

    London Thameslink to Bedford Super Off Peak Day Return

    Thanks to previous kind advice on here I have in the past used a London to Bedford Off Peak Day Return when travelling from Harrow & Wealdstone (starting short) via Bletchley as this is cheaper than the HRW - BDM equivalent ticket. Searching for travel on Saturday I found a remarkably good...

    Dutch Flyer Break of Journey allowed?

    I've just booked this for next month on the overnight sailing to Hoek, my ticket just says 'to any dutch station' on the specific date. Stena's website describe it as an 'open' ticket. I will be aiming for Maastricht but would quite like to stop off at one or two places en route for a look...

    Greenford-Reading ticket troubles

    On Saturday I needed a single to Reading with Network Card discount, had a look online before travel to see prices from various local stations which I could cycle to and decided on the, clearly available on the system, £9.50 off peak day single from Greenford, which was the same price as Ealing...

    Chiltern's Mk3s

    So I took my first journey today on the refurbished loco-hauled stock from Moor St to Marylebone, (£6 advance booked a week ago, bargain!) now I'm of a certain age and remember these carriages when new in the 1970s so I just wanted to say what a lovely job they've done of modernising them...

    Taking a Brompton on the Caledonian Sleeper

    Last time I took a cycle on the Fort William portion of the Sleeper I had to get up in the middle of the night and walk the length of a very long train on a freezing Edinburgh platform to get the bike in the right bit as they shunted it around, I would like to avoid this next time! Does...

    Harrow & Wealdstone to Bedford via Bletchley

    Looking at fares for this journey on Saturday for an Off Peak Day Return with Network Card I'm finding a £15.85 fare. Looking at London Terminals to Bedford I'm finding a £12.55 OPDR, obviously suggesting trains from St Pancras, but when I play with the 'via' options putting in Bletchley this...

    Cancelling a cycle reservation

    I often travel around Britain by a combination of train and bicycle, so I usually book myself a cycle reservation at the same time as I book myself cheap advance fares. Sometimes, after booking, I decide not to bring the bike, for example this week, after booking a trip from London to Cumbria I...

    Do FGW offer 'club55' fares?

    Hello, I'm looking to travel London to Truro the week after next, out the 21st back the 22nd. I have found reasonable(ish) fares for myself, but my query involves the fares for my over 55 travel companions. On the 'eastcoast' booking engine which I usually favour (as I can book my bike!)...
