If anybody enjoys these puzzles, then here is mine for today. I have a Network Railcard. My itinerary is as follows: Sat 28/5 - Gillingham (Dorset) to Exeter St. David's - after validity begins for Super Off-Peak (12pm); Network Railcard is valid all day Sat 28/5 - Exeter St. David's to...

Hello, does anybody know (ideally from first-hand knowledge) whether this is currently running? I have asked both SWR and NX (who operate it) and they both gave generic-sounding answers linking to this page, which has left me with a tinge of doubt, as the journey planner and route maps on the...

I've been following the news reports about the extensive disruption affecting Northern and GTR since their major timetable changes, and I gather that the main cause for the disruption is that many drivers had not yet finished training for the new routes, by no fault of their own, so they can't...

Hi there, Curious about this one, as the price of an undiscounted Off-Peak Return via Woking and the RailAir bus is £68.20, which is around £10 more than the same ticket from Bournemouth to London Terminals. I also notice that the equivalent journey with National Express is almost exactly the...

Hi all, Following on from my previous thread, I have been wondering whether the £30.70 fare from Bournemouth to Brighton that another user kindly pointed out to me as part of his response to my original question, which is valid to both Clapham Junction and East Croydon, could be "the cheapest...

Hi all, Sun 25/6: BMH - ECR (afternoon) Mon 26/6: ECR - SSD (morning peak) Fri 30/6: SSD - BMH (late evening) I have a Network Railcard. Lowest price I've found is £63.50, which is BMH-CLJ advance single, TOM-SSD anytime single, and SSD-BMH advance single, with CLJ-ECR and ECR-TOM...

Hi there, I've been on the BRTimes website and noted the page linked below which seems to suggest that, depending on the time of day, I only need to allow 23-28 minutes to travel between Waterloo and King's Cross when booking tickets for a journey that crosses London...

Hi there, wondering if I can do any better than the standard £63.60? Out on Sept 9th AM and returning Sept 12th PM if that makes any difference. I have a Network Railcard. I put the latter two stations in brackets as I'm assuming they would be more expensive. Much gratitude for any advice offered.

Hi there, Looking for the cheapest way to make the following V-shaped journey this weekend... Saturday morning: Andover to London Waterloo Sunday afternoon: London Waterloo to Bournemouth Network Railcard. Thank you! Update 1: I've been through all the obvious options now so I've got a...

Suppose I have an "& connections" advance from A to B via London with a maltese cross, with the journey from A to London being the "connection" and the journey from London to B being the mandatory reserved journey, and the reserved journey is at 9pm in the evening. If I decide I would quite like...

Does anyone know how I would make the destination "Zone U12* Londn" appear on BRfares? This seems to be different to the "LONDON ZONES 1-2" option there as it doesn't produce the ticket I'm looking for

As someone used to the very neat and predictable train schedules on routes radiating from London, I have noticed when looking at timetables that First Great Western's north-to-south routes in the West of England seem to be rather unpredictable when it comes to the start and end points of the...

[Mod Note - Split from this thread.] Sorry to be greedy and ask again so soon, but there is a fare that is really bugging the hell out of me; Hitchin to Sutton, weekday off-peak, returning a different day, this time with a 16-25 railcard - can this be done for less than the £20.25 SVR? It feels...

Could anyone help me with this fare? An off-peak return between Hitchin and Bournemouth is £49.45 with a Network Railcard. Is there any way I could make this journey with a walk-up fare for less money, e.g. through splitting? The destination doesn't need to be Bournemouth, it could be any...

I am aware that passenger services run by locomotives hauling carriages are more uncommon now than they have ever been, so I am wondering which operators still have sets and how many they have, and what they use them for? I know that FGW and EC have a lot of HST sets (and the class 91/Mark 4...

The ones I am most familiar with are FCC's Cambridge stoppers which are advertised as Foxton from King's Cross and Finsbury Park from Cambridge (the latter seems odd to me as surely Potters Bar is the farthest destination that can't be reached on faster trains), but what other examples are out...

Hi, my partner who is a Gold Card holder recently went to purchase a £1 partner card from our local station, presenting the serving member of staff with an application form with my mother's details on it as the card was intended for her. However, the member of staff paid no attention to the form...
