    York to Newcastle TPE ONLY ticket

    It's the same up in Scotland too. Glasgow to Edinburgh Anytime Single is £13.60 on Scotrail and only £8.50 if you use CrossCountry only tickets. The XC fare used to be as low as £2.00 a few years ago whilst the Scotrail one was around a tenner. Your findings sum up just how unnecessarily...

    Christmas & Boxing Day Bus Services

    The Uk is a different world compared to some other countries. I was in Vegas last christmas on the SDX bus on Christmas day going to a shopping outlet. On the bus there were regular announcements stating that all bus travel was free on New Years Eve from 9pm until 4am the following morning. None...

    Should Railway Offences get a Criminal Record?

    There is however a massive flaw at Glasgow Central, and that is the lift! If you're coming off platforms 11 to 15 I think it is (the far ones) you can get the lift down one floor to the concourse without going through any barriers. Its madness not have this covered but Ive seen loads of...

    First application for Edinburgh to London Open Access service

    Im not sure why Morpeth is even in the equation. It's twice the distance to the Airport from Morpeth as it is from the City Centre?

    ECML Disruption - Saturday 27th December

    Never thought about it like this, but you make a good point. Surely a reservation only system would be the most effective way to control the amount of passengers needing "alternative" transport. At least then the TOC's have a reasonably accurate number to play with

    ECML Disruption - Saturday 27th December

    Im feeling somewhat jinxed this weekend. Ive had travel booked since 5th Oct, Glasgow to London via Edinburgh. Obvious choice was WCML only to find out Watford to Euston was a no go. I thought ok, and extra hour or so on EC isnt so bad... but now this, lol... If I hadn't of booked a non...

    Grand central Kings Cross to York 1650 19 Dec 13

    Ok, maybe "drain on society" wasnt exactly an accurate remark but you get where im coming from.... Attitude is everything... Refusing to pay, refusing to accept a UFN and then refusing to give name address is the hallmark of someone that goes through life purposely trying to avoid paying for...

    Grand central Kings Cross to York 1650 19 Dec 13

    I hope they get hit with the whole lot... it's the attitude of these drains on society that make life expensive for everyone else.

    Unable to Pick up Ticket at Local Station

    Is this really worth the debate for the sake of paying the single fare (£2) from Longton to Stoke? I Really wouldnt trouble myself with the worry...

    ScotRail running a reduced timetable tomorrow (05/12) due to high winds.

    There's no services between Glasgow and Inverclyde until 4pm... Looks like a day off for me then!

    Have i been sent wrong tickets???

    Ive always told people that the one with the price stated as £0.00 is the seat reservation and the one with the correct price on is the actual ticket, i.e the one you would put through a barrier where applicable.

    Injury Between Hyndland & Partick This Morning

    Scotrail don't get my vote for customer service either. I find the communication in Glasgow Central at times appalling, There was one incident a couple of weeks back when I was at the lower level waiting on the 07:28 to Larkhall. At 07:24 I glanced at the board and it said on time, I then...

    Prepaid Eurostar but c/card expires before travel date

    I booked via Eurostar on Friday and I was given a PDF download of my tickets and also the option to collect at St Pancras. This was for train only though. Might be worth checking your Eurostar account to see if you can print tickets off?
