Just looking at Euston to Stafford return on Sunday 21 May. The price for an off-peak standard one way is £31.70. The price for an off-peak first one way is variously listed as £51.70 (correct, because it's the standard price plus a £20 weekend first upgrade) and £98 (surely incorrect)...

Forgive me if this is a daft question, but are the xx:42 LBG - BTN trains at weekends operated by Thameslink or Southern? Both realtime trains and trainline say it's a Thameslink service, so I bought and used a Thameslink only ticket. However, the automatic gates at LBG wouldn't let me through...

Waiting on P1 for the 16:12 to Euston, when the departures screens changed to "next train not for public use." A pendolino arrived from the south, stopped at P1 and dropped its pan. Most but not all passengers got off, and three VT staff loaded lots of water and fruit at the first class end...

I have to travel from London to Oxford tomorrow lunchtime for a business meeting. I have prebooked tickets from Paddington, but will it be easier to go from Marylebone via Banbury? And is the 12:45 departure a 168? Was wondering if I'd struggle to get on with the displaced FGW passengers using...

Got on a Circle Line train at King's X the other Sunday to go to Paddington. We waited a while at Edgware Rd for the drivers to change, then our service was announced as a Circle Line train via High St Ken and Victoria. We arrived at Paddington on the District Line platforms. I thought all...
