    journey option not being displayed in booking engines

    A bit confused by this. I'm looking at Leeds to Wigan as a day return on 29 December with a return after 10pm. For the return, fastjp shows the below options: But I can't get any booking engines to give me an itinerary for the later one (23:07 from Wigan Wallgate) as the return portion of a...

    London to High Wycombe via Aylesbury, 19/10

    Trying to do this journey, arriving in High Wycombe by about 12pm. Does anyone have any suggestions for a ticket valid for this route? See e.g. the 10.27 departure listed here: http://www.fastjp.com/#journeys?orig=MYB&dest=HWY&odate=20191019&otime=1000&maxres=10&maxch=5 There is a rail...

    "TOC & connections" appropriate trains / delay repay

    A few weeks ago I was travelling using a "[TOC A] & connections" advance, using TOC A for the first part of my journey and TOC B for the second ("& connections") part. TOC A also has trains on the second part of the route. My journey was disrupted midway and I consequently missed my connection...

    Inclusive Tour tickets / Superbreak alternatives

    Does anyone know of any other companies that offer these following the collapse of Superbreak? They involve a packaged hotel and train ticket. I had booked through Superbreak a number of times as it was surprisingly often cheaper to get such a deal than buy a pair of advances on the same...

    King's Cross to Southend Central

    Just trying to work out the best ticket for this (flexible day return on Saturday, network railcard). Trainsplit will offer me the following: I'm not going to use a ticket that's invalid so can someone confirm that this isn't valid? Surely this can't be used from KGX on a London Terminals...

    TW Metro connections for last train of day

    Had a quick look through previous threads about connections between the TW Metro and National Rail services but none that I think answer this specific question. I quite often buy a Sunderland - Leeds advance which is sold with an itinerary involving a Metro arriving into Newcastle Central Metro...

    York to Hull routeing

    Just wondering if anyone knew of a reasonably priced ticket that allowed travel on anything in addition to the direct train (once every two hours), either via Doncaster or Leeds. There's not via Doncaster and any permitted routed tickets but the latter is quite a bit more expensive. York to...

    Oxford to Newcastle

    I'm currently thinking about applying for a job in Oxford and would probably make fairly regular journeys back to Newcastle (also York). Does anyone have any further options that are likely to be reasonable value compared to the below? Let's say I'd put up with a journey of up to about 6 hours...

    Derby to York to Manchester

    I'm trying to make the following journey: On Friday evening I need to get from Derby to York and on Sunday from York to Manchester. To keep things simple, say I need flexible tickets. I've had a quick look through available tickets and the best I can come up with is Blythe Bridge to York, an...

    Southend Airport to London return

    I'm doing this journey (SIA->London on Friday evening, London->SIA Sunday morning) at the weekend and I'm trying to work out my best route/fare options. I need to end up in Brixton (underground) but let's just say any ticket to Central London will do. Putting this into the VTEC journey...

    Finsbury Park - King's Cross double back

    Just a quick query on this -- is this permitted? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding something basic but it seems to me that this is technically not permitted. For example, if I have a ticket that's York - Finsbury Park (any permitted, Maltese cross), can I go YRK - KGX - FPK, or do I...

    "Trains calling at..." option on timetables screen

    Has this disappeared altogether from WebTIS? I just tried VTEC and Southern and it's no longer shown on either. Am I missing something / is there any other way to force two via points?

    VTEC advance quotas

    Might just be me being unlucky here, but have advance quotas changed since Virgin took over from EC? Due to an annoying short-term work contract, I've been commuting down the ECML up to 3 days a week for 15 of the last 20ish weeks. Booking 12 weeks in advance (on the Friday morning that...

    unused ticket collection / change of journey

    I've got a journey booked from York to King's Cross on Wednesday, that was part-paid for by a refund of another advance ticket I'd previously bought. The original ticket was a TOD collection. In these circumstances, East Coast issue only print at home tickets, and the original ticket is...

    Validity of Gatwick Airport - Brixton, route +Any Permitted

    Just want to say at the outset here that I know about the Gatwick Express validity dispute and it's not really what this is about. I was travelling on this ticket last night, having bought it (rather than the Not Gatwick Express route) not realising that the Gatwick Express wasn't running. I...

    St Pancras to Harpenden

    I'm currently occasionally staying in Harpenden overnight after being in London -- so e.g. going from St Pancras on an evening, and returning from Harpenden to St Pancras the following day in the morning peak. Unfortunately there's no Anytime Return from St Pancras to Harpenden, so I've been...

    TOC-only tickets for part of route

    Just wondering if people had any thoughts on whether the following is valid. There's a ticket routed Grand Central Only between King's Cross and Bradford. Grand Central operate services between King's Cross and York, and between King's Cross and Bradford. York is on a permitted route between...

    advance tickets in cases of disruption

    I'll just say now -- I've looked and can't see a clear answer to this. I'm sure someone will find an earlier thread now that answers this but I've tried for quite a while and can't! My question is pretty time sensitive so apologies in advance... I've got an advance ticket on the 18.00 from...

    Wigan to Finsbury Park, SVS

    I'm just wondering about this ticket, listed here at a price of £41.20. I've tried a couple of booking engines and none offer it. Is it possible to buy this, or is it just some sort of error?

    Routeing guide / maps as of September 2013

    Does anyone have a copy of the routeing guide maps & yellow pages as of September 2013? A friend travelled from York to Edinburgh at this time using a ticket from Wakefield to Lancaster (any permitted). I've got notes I made at the time that showed that this route was valid using (then-)maps...
