    Downgrading my first class ticket to standard

    On this topic, does anyone have any idea how long Avanti are taking to process these? I've been waiting a month now and have yet to receive the e-voucher. I called them up (after waiting an hour or so) and they said they can't process the refund request over the phone. It's a little...

    RDG trial/Budget announcement: 26-30 Railcard from Spring 2018

    Talking of the 26-30 railcard being valid with a 16-25 ticket, I was wondering of the following. The website states that the railcard is not valid with, Caledonian Sleeper tickets for travel in Sleeper or Seated accommodation with a route Caledonian Sleeper only. What if one turns up with a...

    Cancellation of Last Train

    Without wishing to start a new thread, I was travelling from Euston to Headstone Lane last week. This involved a London north western train from Euston to Harrow & Wealdstone and then the last overground one stop to Headstone Lane. The first leg no problems, arrive a few minutes late but still...

    VTEC advances Sunday 3 June

    I can see the confusion though. The website should state that tickets are available for weekend travel up to and including: Saturday 02 June. How late potentially could advance tickets for 03 June go on sale?

    London to Southampton fare advice

    Thanks Yorkie, Travelling from Harrow & Wealdstone so happy to go from Clapham junction if that provided a cheaper fare. We would be back the same day too. That would sound the best way but only if valid of course!

    Thanks for all the advice. With regards to a ticket to Southampton airport parkway, would this be valid to hedge end just in case the plans changes or would an extra ticket be required?

    London to Southampton fare advice

    Without wishing to create a new thread, I'm looking for a cheap (not necessarily the cheapest using SWR if possible) return between London and Southampton on Friday 29 September. Clapham Junction would work well especially as we're coming from Harrow & Wealdstone. Due to us going to the...

    Meaning of "Interavailable"?

    Yes I realise that is the usual and obvious route but I was wondering because of disruption or any other reason, would it be possible to use the underground? Having just read 'Note that tickets are NOT valid at intermediate stations unless specified otherwise', then I would guess not.

    Meaning of "Interavailable"?

    I happened to be passing the St Pancras gate line today and they were adamant that a travelcard was not valid. However, I showed them their own website suggesting that use of hs1 to Stratford International was valid using an off peak day travelcard. They were all stumped. Would an...

    Metropolitan Line Extension (MLX/Croxley Rail Link)

    Is it true that the Watford DC line in the future will increase from 3 to 4tph but reduce the carriage length from 5 to 4-car? I seem to remember reading this a few months back..

    Stansted Express

    Just to confirm, is a Liverpool Street/Tottenham Hale to Audley End (£16.75 16-25 railcard) return still the cheapest way of getting to Stansted and back to London? And is this still valid? I'm off in under 30 days so can't get the cheap advance fare on Stansted express.

    Afternoon All, I'm looking for the above fare on the Fri 5 Feb (1.30pm), returning Sun 7 Feb (3pm). I believe the super off peak return should be £36, but I can't find it anywhere. I've been on the phone to Virgin and they insist that the off peak fare at £74.90 is the only one available...
