    Is there a practical route from Greenwich or Lewisham to Heathrow that uses only National Rail (not the Underground)?

    Mudchute to Canterbury

    Thanks for all of your good advice this week. I think we have one more question for this forum. We are planning a day trip from Mudchute on the DLR to Canterbury on July 19. The Journey Planner takes us to Lewisham on the DLR, then Southeastern to London Bridge and Canterbury West. The DLR...

    Llandudno to Wolverhampton

    We will be traveling from Llandudno to Wolverhampton the morning of July 17 and it appears there are several options. We have luggage, so we won't want the 5-minute connection through Chester. We could take ATW to Warrington Bank Quay and then Virgin to Wolverhampton, or ATW to Llandudno...

    If boarding at an unattended station like Tywyn, where there are no ticket machines, can you purchase a ticket from the conductor? And if so, is it cash only or are credit cards accepted?

    Do we need reserved seats?

    The advance fare Tywyn-Newbury is about one-fourth the off-peak fare, but it would mean no reserved seats Tywyn-Wolverhampton on Arriva Trains Wales. We would be a group of three traveling at 9:37 on a Tuesday morning in July. Would this likely be a crowded train? Thank you.

    Newbury to Docklands

    We'll be traveling from Newbury to an apartment near Mudchute in the Docklands on a weekday late afternoon with luggage, and I'd like to avoid the Tube if possible. Is there a National Rail routing that maybe goes from Newbury/Reading to south of London and comes up to Lewisham or Greenwich...

    Cheaper to split Southampton-Tywyn fare?

    We will be visiting the UK this summer and are somewhat unfamiliar with train fares, so thank you in advance for your advice. We want to leave Southampton the morning of July 13, traveling to Tywyn. In checking the National Rail journey planner, the through fare for all of the morning...
