Journey was Euston to Heathrow T4 by Northern Line & Elizabeth Line on a Sunday evening, holding a Network Railcard. I thought the cheapest ticket would be an Off-Peak Day Single for £9.95 and tried to buy this from a machine at Chester without success. With a few minutes before my train to...

I tried to make a change to an Advance ticket yesterday, because I arrived early at the station. I had a ticket for the 10:27 but had arrived just in time for the 10:00. Uber offers fee-free changes. You have to buy the new ticket, then request a refund for the original. So I booked the new...

(I asked a version of this in the RailUK tickets thread, but possibly better to start a thread?) APN (Newcastle Airport) to London is priced at £2.90 higher than the current Super Off-Peak NCL-KGX, allowing travel on the Metro from Airport. Would that allow me to start short at South Gosforth...

I had a strange one with Seatfrog yesterday. I had been bidding on a London-Newcastle upgrade and winning. Precisely two hours before departure I had a notification saying 'No Upgrades Available'. This is different from the usual 'you've been outbid' or 'you didn't win this time' messages...

I don't know if folk have any Club Eurostar points lying around. The changes after the merger with Thalys made redemptions suddenly very expensive overnight (albeit partially offset by higher earning rate, and a one-off boost to your existing balance). I've just had an email from Eurostar...

I've asked this on the Eurail forums, but I thought I'd also run it past the wisdom on here, before letting it loose on unsuspecting foreign tourists. Is there anything I've missed? Franchise & concessions: aka “National Rail” - all operators, including Sleepers* and high-speed Open Access...

Advice please. I'm not sure if this is a stupid question! I was travelling yesterday from London - Newcastle with the following tickets: KGX-YRK 1648-1841 GC First Advance £105 YRK-NCL 1917-2014 TP Standard Advance £13.70 Note the relatively long connection at YRK - I let the 1857 LNER and...

I bought a 4 in 8 day North Country Rover this morning at Newcastle, intending to take the 0923 to Carlisle and then onwards to Kendal. About five minutes after I bought this, the 0923 and several trains after it were cancelled, sadly due to a fatality. At the suggestion of the information...

Hi folks I have a Super Off Peak Return 1st, EMR Only, from East Midlands Parkway to London. £120, bought from LNER. I have used the outbound. I was going to use the return portion yesterday, but the advice was Do Not Travel, because of flooding. If I ask for a refund, will I get £60 (half)...

Hello folks. I wonder if you could suggest some tickets for the following journey. 7 Mar Newcastle - Oxenholme (departing NCL 0725) 8 Mar Oxenholme - London (mid morning) 11 Mar London - Coventry (mid morning) 12 Mar Coventry - Newcastle (afternoon) I've already bought an Advance for the...

I see there's a NCL-KGX fare of £59 for an Anytime Day Single route Lumo + Hull trains only. I have to travel on Saturday 27 Nov, when journeys are longer due to railworks. There's a journey 0733-1148 with a connection at Doncaster, which works OK for me. What is the situation if one or other...

Hello, I have a 1224 Eurostar departure on 25 Jan, and I want to book a connection from Newcastle to London International CIV. Through journeys aren't being shown any more on Eurostar.com, so how do I know how much time to leave in order to make the connection valid? I'm not hugely bothered...

Anyone know where I can find actual departure times for SNCF? I was due to travel on the 1658 from Lyon Part-Dieu to CDG Airport on Tuesday. Departure boards were showing a 1 hour delay, and sure enough the train appeared at 1758. However it was only 8 coaches and my reservation was in coach...

Hi folks, Question for a friend of mine, who was delayed 2.5 hours on LNER between Newcastle and Edinburgh. I think >120 minutes qualifies for a full refund of the return journey? He had purchased two Advance singles, and they're only refunding him for the single on the affected journey. Is...

Seems that La Compagnie des Alpes, which operates a lot of ski resorts, is contracting with Eurostar to operate a once-weekly ski train again. Seems like tickets will only be available as part of a package, not direct from Eurostar. Operates under the brand 'Travelski Express'. A shame it's...

I needed to book three tickets (1 adult and 2 children) on a sleeper service from Paris to Briançon. In somewhat of a rush, I decided on a bit of a whim to invent a third child (with name and date of birth!) to secure all 4 places in the couchette. I've since learned that I could have done...

London-Newcastle Super Off Peak Return £141.70 Am I right that this is valid via Sheffield? I want to have a Break of Journey on the outbound. London-Sheffield Friday 1819 Sheffield-Newcastle Sunday time tbc I can't get the journey planners to price it up on this train, but I think it's...

I'm guessing the answer is yes, but just wondering if it's OK to hold two overlapping Advance tickets, on the same train. For example Newcastle - Darlington, and Durham - King's Cross (the train in question stops at both).

Is this journey suicidal? It's very tight (illegal) connections, but it has the benefit of a fast service on the East Coast and not requiring a journey across Paris 0705 - 0940 Newcastle - King's Cross 1014 - 1254 St Pancras - Lille 1303 - 1600 Lille - Lyon 1608 - 1808 Lyon - Annecy 1815 - 1949...

I need to travel Kings Cross-Newcastle this Monday evening (I'm arriving into Heathrow at 1635, so was planning on a Super off-peak single £68.20 which is valid on the 1900 departure and later.) The following Saturday morning Newcastle - Sheffield (best price I've found is £33.70 Advance on a...
