What is the easiest train ticket to use crossing Paris these days... GdN - GdL and vv? Paper tickets have gone so I believe but did check out a 'Navigo Easy' thing, which can be downloaded to one's phone and then journeys added to it. Is this the easiest way and from where does one obtain said...

Hi chaps. It's been a long time since my last trip, almost four years and much has changed since then. Especially with the French bringing forward the timing of the first train out on said route making it now impossible to connect with the early Eurostar.... #grrr I digress. Not going until...

Yesterday I purchased a three-year Senior Railcard via Trainline.com for £47. Followed all the details and they sent an email to which I responded with my number but after three attempts, still have yet to receive a response. I resisted a smart phone for years so may be missing a trick here...

I've purchased two return tickets from Trainline for the next Bank holiday weekend from East Croydon to Brighton, leaving Thursday and returning to London the following Sunday. For some reason, probably a senior moment on my part, they have sent me e-tickets but I'd like to be able to exchange...

This has probably been asked before but times move on... Is there a place near or on the concourse still where it's possible to purchase tobacco/cigarettes? Cheers.

If anyone is going to Paris on E* in the next few weeks, would it be possible to purchase a single Paris metro ticket for me? Need one for my return from Spain early October and with the TGV/AVE being somewhat hit and miss re said tickets and with a narrow window to get across the city, I can...

Hi chaps 'er indoors is off to Fratton for the weekend, leaving early Saturday and coming back around Sunday lunch. She has an all zones Oyster Card so should it not be easy enough to purchase a return to Fratton from Boundary Six from most stations? I realise she's left it late - thought it...

One presumes that there is no edict for the 'big three' to sell these but still find it all hit and miss. In my experience, E* always have single/multiple tickets on sale in the bar but as far as I'm aware, they never seem to announce this - I'm invariably on the first train out of Ebbsfleet so...

Forest Green Rovers must be up there...Stroud is the nearest methinks about four miles distant? Colchester's ground is a hike too, but not as far. Both Yeovil stations are a longish trek away from the ground - was there once a station in the town centre as it seems incongruous to have to...

Next month I shall be boarding the first E* out of Ebbsfleet and then getting the 10.07 from GdL to Girona. Having beaten a similar path across the French capital for many a year I am not unfamiliar with the machinations of the RER etc but, if all goes to time, with just a 50-minute window...

Off to Spain on Wednesday and have split my ticket from Paris - some of the savings are quite amazing - and can anyone confirm that the train splits at Perpignan? If so, I am booked in coach 13 from Paris and 17 from Perpignan to Girona. Are these likely to be in the same half of the...

No. 1 son is off on a Euro jaunt soon, mostly by train. My European train travel is limited mainly to France and Spain so if anyone can point out any possible pitfalls in his itinerary, listed below, then all information is appreciated. Flights out to Amsterdam - 23/09 Flights back to...

Not sure what the protocol is but my daughter has two tickets from London to a northern town (it shall stay nameless until I get further info) for next weekend, but due to unforeseen circumstances, cannot use. Will she able to recoup the money via the original source, or via some other method...

Somebody asked this question on a football forum but nobody has come up with a definitive answer as yet. What is the closest station to London - presumably outside the M25 - that necessitates more than one change to reach it?

Sorry if this subject has been raised before but does anyone have any hints/info on cheap travel for those of us who have reached said magical mile stone? I could trawl t'internet for said info but I'm sure other like minded peeps may be interested too.

Has anyone got to hand the cost of rail fares to and from Manchester - London in the late 1870s?

apologies if this is already elsewhere... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16229921 I suppose he felt 'disrespected'. What possesses people to do such a thing?:(

Made a visit there this morning on my way home and must say I was more than impressed. It's a bit like Valence and Avignon TGV stations but should look good when they finish all the work. The other track that is supposed to be linking Madrid with Paris looked complete too but have no idea...

Has anyone done this new link yet? I know it is a second class train but they demand a reservation apparently. What are the chances of winging it (with a ticket of course) from Girona or is it swarming with ticket bods? I know it is a principal thing but 15 euros from Girona to Figueras is a...

I have just purchased the latest Thomas Cook Timetable and was quite surprised to read that there are only two direct trains a day. One is far too early to incorporate a E* trip and with the usual lack of synergy on local Spanish trains, it is impossible to connect anywhere locally from Girona...
