This was the message displayed on the departure screens for platforms 15 - 19 at London Victoria today, Easter Monday, at 4.05pm. Surely this is wrong? Possibly due to a programming error not recognising today as a Bank Holiday? That aside, is there a blanket ban at Victoria for evening...

Currently sat on this train at Hove waiting departure. According to RTT its booked times are arr 18:40, dep 18:50. However it also has 1.5 minute pathing allowance at Aldrington and 1 minute performance allowance at Hove. Just curious as to why these extra minutes are needed in addition to the...

Has there been any relaxtion on peak/off-peak/super off-peak restrictions with the emergency timetables being introduced? I've searched TOC websites but can't see anything.

The above image shows a sign restricting access to Gatwick Airport to certain categories of people - it doesn't include people needing to exit or enter the railway station that don't have legitimate business at the airport itself. Technically if these bylaws were enforced how would rail users...

I was delayed recently on Thameslink twice in one day and was using Oyster PAYG to travel. During the first journey (47 mins delayed) I reached the daily cap so the cost was less than the standard journey and the second (17 mins delayed) journey was effectively free. Can I claim delay repay...

I thought BBC Pips were synchronized with some central time signal, as are times on mobile phones. This morning on Radio 4 the 09:00 pips were played when the time on my mobile phone was showing 09:01 and it ticked over to 09:02 just a few seconds later. Which is more accurate?

If using Oyster PAYG from Gatwick Airport I can make as many journeys as I wish on a Saturday to and from Boundary Zone 6 and onwards subject to the daily off-peak cap of £13.50 (with Disabled Persons Railcard added). A paper Thameslink Only Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard is available for £8.65...

Oh dear Metrobus - take a look at the picture of the internal route maps of the Route 200 Horsham to Gatwick service. It's the same for all 4 station stops on the route - Horsham, Littlehaven, Ifield and Gatwick Airport. Edit for forum rules - picture shows BR double arrow logo the wrong way...

I've had some Rail Warrants issued for journeys on 5 separate days this coming week. Can anyone tell me if I can only redeem them on the specific days or can I get them done as a job lot in advance? Thanks.

I often travel to destinations using Oyster PAYG and buy a separate PLUSBUS add-on at the ticket office before starting my journey. I explain to the clerk that the rail element is by Oyster and I only need to purchase the add-on and they are quite happily sell it to me - up until today that is...

Looking for some clarification and advice please for my partner. He holds a monthly Zones 1-5 Travelcard on Oyster and travels usually from East Croydon to either London Bridge or Victoria. Sometimes he needs to travel from Crawley to either of the above during the AM peak. According to...

Are there still any timetabled passenger services from Platform 3 at Weybridge to Addlestone or do they all go from Platform 1? ISTR that about 20 years ago when I was last down that way there was a M-F service at about 11:00 or 11:30ish. I've had a look on NRES but nothing jumps out...

Please can someone confirm that my thinking is correct before I fire off a complaint to Virgin WC as operator of the ticket office at Birmingham New Street... I bought a Chester to Birmingham Stations Off-Peak Day Return (Route via Shrewsbury) and travelled out on this route. Wanting to get...

Last week I was travelling on the return portion of a Chester to Fleet Off Peak Return and wished to break my journey at Clapham Junction, resuming a couple of days later (still well before the expiry date on the ticket). I had previously checked the Fares & Ticketing Guide to make sure this was...

If break of journey is specifically barred on the outward portion of an Off Peak Saver Return (e.g. Condition 8A) is starting short on the outward portion still allowed? Just want to check so incase anyone tries to query it and claims I have tried to break my journey. Thanks

I'm planning on using this ticket tomorrow and my first train departs 07:48. I've checked on the National Rail Enquiries and the Rover website and none advise of any morning time restrictions. Can anyone advise if this is correct? I don't think I've missed anything but just want to be sure...

An article on the Wrexham Leader website about waste from non-retention tank toilets spraying on gardens near the railway line has the following quote from ATW: Full article...

Onboard the 20:40 Euston - Manchester tonight the steward has announced he will do a trolley run through Standard as "it's a long train and you may have a long walk to the buffet." Haven't seen a trolley run through standard on Virgin for years. He'd already offered anyone staying in...
