We are in Paris for a day next week and will be making 2 or 3 metro/RER journeys in the city centre. what is the best/easiest/cheapest way to get tickets for two people? Thanks

Just a bit of trivia really. In Europe, which service would take a piece of passenger rolling stock furthest from its host country? It's probably easier to go "as the crow flies" to the nearest border given the multitude of rail routes. Beat I can think of is SBB coaches to Przemysl on EC106...

I have noticed that Nightjet prices have appeared to suddenly jump dramatically in price when booking with an interrail pass. What was working out at around £200 for two people to travel in February/March from Zurich - Vienna in a double deluxe sleeper berth with interrail passes last week is...

Hi All I am looking at booking a Brussels - Vienna Nightjet next February. The date/train in question is available to book if I am a full fare paying passenger (eg ticket + reservation), but I am unable to make a reservation on the OBB website when I select an Interrail Pass as a discount...

I've been looking at the timetables for this weekend's Arlberg Pass closure, and have seen on OBB's website that the EC164 travels via Salzburg and then non-stop to Bregenz Does anyone know if this is correct, and what route it takes Salzburg- Bregenz, and if it runs with the SBB panoramacar &...

I've got 5 days in November, Friday to Tuesday and intend to get a 5 days interrail pass, starting in the North East and hopefully using LNER/Eurostar to get to Europe. Has anyone got ideas for an itinerary/ places to go? I like a sleeper train and loco hauled trains. I see sense in doing the...

I'm intending to make a trip from Westhoughton to Manchester Central Zone on a Friday the 0949 train - and for this I can buy an Off-Peak Day Return for £7.50. I hold a 26-30 Railcard but there is a minimum fare before 10am, and so it would be pointless using it in this case. Now for my return...

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/buying-tickets-for-others-with-a-railcard-discount.252143/ Could we not adopt the practice of putting names on tickets as is done abroad? ie I buy a ticket for myself and my name is printed on it/above the QR code, I buy a ticket...

I am travelling from Eastleigh to Newcastle on a Super Off Peak Single which is routed "Any Permitted" and has a Maltese Cross. I am coming into Waterloo via Richmond - would it be permitted to change onto the District Line at Richmond and travel into central London via that route? Does this...

Hello Next Saturday (25th) the clocks change by 1 hour at 2am. The same happens in October. What happens to overnight trains in Europe on these nights? Do they run early/late in the evening/morning to accommodate for this?

Hi All I am flying into Gdansk in a few weeks and need to get the train to Gdansk Glowny that evening, and then the next morning need to get the train to Gdynia Glowny. Could anyone please advise the best (cheapest or easiest) ticket to get? It appears that there are multiple operators with...

Just hearing that Network Rail are proposing to implement a Temporary Timetable from the 13th December - 7th January. A 12 hour timetable 0600 - 1800 is proposed and some routes will be without services at all. This is due to the impact of the strikes and the resultant disruption. Due to the...

Hi all As we all know, when claiming for delay repay on a split ticket the minimum connection time at any given station needs to be met. However, is there a MAXIMUM time that one can allow for changing? I travelled from Penzance on the sleeper last night and continues my journey mid morning to...

I am looking at getting a European Rail Atlas, but there are many to choose from. Any recommendations?

If I were to buy a ticket today with a fixed itinerary (IE an advance ticket) and then the timetable were to be changed (eg the upcoming temporary timetable on the WoE line), where would I stand with Delay repay? Presumably the advance ticket would be accepted on the nearest appropriate service...

Hi All I am trying to work out what routes I can use between Newcastle and Fishguard, using the ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare. The ticket would be to Rosslare but it is not in the routeing guide pink pages - would I need to use Fishguard as the destination? Thanks

Hello All I am looking to visit the Wolsztyn - Leszno line and the steam services there. Has anyone done this and have any tips/advice etc? I read that their days are numbered - does anyone have any information as to how long they have left? Thanks

Hello I am looking to do a round trip from Kingham via Oxford/Didcot/Swindon/Gloucester/Worcester. I understand that the best ticket for this would be a Super Off Peak Return at £23.50, which appears to be valid via both Cheltenham and via Swindon. Now, on the outbound leg Kingham - Kemble...

Hello I'm wondering what the correct/beat thing to do would be in these scenarios as I've never seen it come up before. 1. If an advance ticket was held from a London terminal (say Kings X) to, for argument's sake, Doncaster, but the total journey was from, for example, Meridian Water to...

Hello We are looking at going on holiday to the Cotswolds this summer and go to the GWSR. How easy is it to get from Cheltenham Race Course to the centre of Cheltenham? Thanks
