    LNER: Lack of Advance tickets where using a connecting service.

    I often travel from Kings Cross to Burnley Manchester Road, changing at Leeds. Until recently, I used to be able to book Advance tickets as soon as they were made available on the KGX-LDS leg of the journey. The cost of the total KGX-LDS-BYM ticket would be a few pounds more than the KGX-LDS...

    Break of Journey query

    Quick query folks: I originally booked an Advance ticket from London to Blackburn changing at Leeds. This was to be a trip to visit a friend. I've since been invited to a business meeting in Leeds the day before my original journey. It makes no sense to go back to London after the meeting...
