When I used to use them on the Medway Valley Line, or the Maidstone East Line late on a Sunday, I'd put in 5 or 10p. What used to happen, then, is if a guard came down, they'd give me back the coin, and sell me a ticket for the full price which I'd usually pay by card. Of course, if a guard...

Hello folks, a quick follow up to a question I've had before. I'm travelling Grimsby Town to Derby (actually Birmingham, but I have to go via Derby as I'm planning on splitting tickets there) on a Friday soon. I've realised that I might be able to make it to GMB to catch the Brigg Line train...

So it looks to me like there's virtually no difference in price between the ticket with the trains and the one without? I can do buses to Swan Centre, then onward to NEC, then come back to New Street and even get a transfer to the Jewellery Quarter if I stick with that particular hotel. That...

Does the X1 run via the Swan Centre. There's a parkrun there which I quite fancy doing, I could do that en route to the NEC...

Good evening all, I'm planning on having a trip down to Brum later this month, travelling down on Fri 19th from Grimsby Town to Birmingham (staying either near New Street or Snow Hill, spending Saturday at the NEC (although hopefully getting a bus/tram/train to a parkrun first) and returning...

I've claimed for Hayes-Sheffield (rather than Heathrow) as the system was too clunky to deal with a split ticket and I'm not quibbling over the Heathrow Leg. EMR have approved that straight away. That was my journey, I did what I needed to get done in Sheffield, so that's the delay I've claimed...

Apologies. Travel date was Tuesday 7th November. I've updated the post to reflect this. I believe there was some sort of landslip in or around Leicester that took a good while to sort out safely. I did ask at the ticket office whether I would be able to travel via LNER and Doncaster, as the...

Good afternoon, can I please seek the collective wisdom of the forum regarding my journey earlier this week? 15th Sept, I bought a journey, Heathrow to Grimsby via Hayes and Harlington and Sheffield. Three Tickets: Travel Date Tuesday 7 November 2023 Anytime Return, Heathrow to Hayes and...

Nothing that can't wait. Just thinking of food/drink/PNB. If I can't leave the station, then I can't leave the station.

I've picked the tickets up. There's a Maltese cross. However, on the outbound (Doncaster to Hayes and Harlington), I've got a counted place reservation on the Thameslink to Farringdon. No reservation whatsoever on the Lizzy Line. I don't have any such restriction on the return (Hayes and...

Apologies. I'm travelling from Heathrow, and I meant "Immigration" and "Baggage Return", rather than "Security". Basically, if I'm landside at Heathrow earlier than planned, I can make my own way to STP to wait there for my "big" train.

I've just put together an itinerary for November with some splits, travelling between Grimsby and Heathrow. I have a query involving the long distance advance tickets, particularly the + Connections part. Outward is Doncaster to Hayes and Harlington, LNER Advance. "Only valid on booked London...

I think I'll keep the Greenwich route on the back burner pending a bit more planning of the day, but that Groupsave ticket from Ebbsfleet seems too good to turn down! I'm just conscious that the little one has been sick by Jeskyns in the past, and Ebbsfleet is that bit further, so we might have...

So, I've looked at Ebbsfleet, 2 adults and 2 children, outward at 0950 and return 1837. They've offered me 3 adults Groupsave Off Peak Return and 1 kids for a quid ticket for a total of £41.85, which looks to me to be a bargain, and I can buy online. There won't be an issue with the older child...

2021 Model Year, petrol. Should be OK. Hadn't thought about North Greenwich, and the Uber boat would be awesome, but I'm conscious that my little girl can be a bit car sick at times. I'd have hoped the A2/A102 would be OK, though, and, of course, there's plenty of places to eat there before we...

Good morning all, I'm wondering if you can help me check my working here. Apologies for the length, I'm trying to put my thoughts together to make a decision. I'm taking the family on a day trip to London from Aylesford, and I'm trying to work out my various options, to find the right balance...

The whereabouts or existence of stolen IT equipment are not subject to the General Data Protection Regulations, and don't have any potential ramifications regarding the safeguarding of a vulnerable person. Whereas telling someone - identifying themselves on the phone as a random goon in the...

I've done Grimsby-Kings Cross-Euston-MKC on a few occasions now. It's certainly a good option if I can get the advances, but I'm after flexibility at the minute because I'm not yet ready to trust Transpennine again so I'd like the opportunity to switch things up and go either via Doncaster or...

My apologies to Tamworth. Sadly my impression came from a Sunday evening return trip in the middle of winter, when I found nothing in the station itself and sat cold in the upstairs waiting room. Is it worth my while trotting out and seeing what I can see?

Thanks, is that via the mapped route EM+EN? How do I know that's valid between Nottingham and Loughborough? I can't get NRE to give me that itinerary on a single ticket.
