Last evening I was attempting to complete an on-line application for a 3 year Senior Railcard for a friend. Their website seemed to be having all sorts of problems and kept either freezing or dropping out. On one occasion I got as far as the payment area but never got a completion message and it...

I noted a post on FB that Lloyds Coaches were accepting rail tickets between Machynlleth and all stations to Aberystwyth this morning due to unexpected engineering work that had closed the line. I also saw an RRB on the main road between the two this morning. Only thing I could see was some...

Trying to book tickets from Caersws to York on the monring of the 21st of Sept. Red Spotted Hanky routes me Shrewsbury (change) - Manchester (change) - Leeds (change) - York, whereas if I book with TfW I get Birmingham New St (change) - York. Both leaving on the 1015 train from Caersws and both...

Friend is trying to book tickets for his daughter on the journey Oxford to Hereford, out on 22nd, return on the 24th, but keeps getting a "no trains" message. I've checked on 2 booking sites and get the same answer but can't seem to find a reason for this. Anyone got the answer please?

I have need the week after next to undertake the following: Day 1 Caersws to Whiteleafe or Caterham Day 2 Whiteleafe/Caterham to Eastbourne One way only. Any suggestions of the best way to do it? It looks like I cannot do a break of journey.

I've just received a £45 RTV from Virgin for a 44 minute delay into Euston recently. Very nice of them considering the tickets only cost me £43. However what isn't made plain is their usage. I know that before Christmas I will be taking a trip to Cardiff (for a signallers get-together) that...

Got to page 24 and got bored!! Now how about paraphrasing it for us?

At the beginning of March I will be travelling to London with a colleague, but he will not be joining me until later in the journey. I know that I am entitled to a "helper", but how can he buy a ticket using my "discount"?

Booked on The Canadian at the end of next May, travelling Toronto WEST to Vancouver, with a 2 person cabin booked for the wife and I. Any one done this trip and willing to pass on any tips? I have already been told that the food is really good! Also as a signalman over here I'd be interested...
