    Heathrow to Colchester

    That means I can use TfL Rail from Heathrow to Ealing Broadway, Central line to Stratford and GA to Shenfield for just £9.80? :o The only catch is that I can't stay on the train as I have to tap out. Right?

    Heathrow to Colchester

    Is the GA train is included in the £9.80 option? So I'm not limited to tube and TfL rail to Shenfield?

    Heathrow to Colchester

    I gave this a thought, but I don't like to wait an hour or so at LST. But I'll book an advance ticket if there's no other option. Weekday off peak, no railcard, no return, Oyster PAYG £25 sounds good. Especially as the journey planner suggests £56.80 (tbf it is a flexible ticket including...

    Heathrow to Colchester

    All, what's the cheapest way to get from Heathrow airport to Colchester? I thought I'd take the tube to London Liverpool Street or Stratford (£3.10 off peak) and then the train to Colchester. IMHO the train tickets are rather expensive as I can't take an advance ticket as my flight might be...

    Advance tickets and connecting trains

    I just collected the tickets. I somehow hoped that the ticket stated "& connections" or something like this. Nope, the 11:02 to Colchester is printed on the ticket. So I'm stuck to a specific train but have no reservation... :(

    LNER booking for 22nd September

    Yay :). But not the prices I'd expected...

    Thornaby to London

    OK, thanks. As you may have noticed English isn't my mother tongue ;). I meant I'm afraid that the LNER advance tickets will have been sold out (that cannot be right...lol) in the future without being able to get hold of one. But I think I'll just wait for the LNER tickets...

    Thornaby to London

    Thornaby to London

    Unfortunately not. "Advance tickets are generally not available earlier than 12 weeks before the date of travel."

    Thornaby to London

    Dear all, I'd like to go from Thornaby or Stockton to London on Saturday, September 28th (morning). The cheapest ticket I find is £102.50 (advance). Wtf? Any suggestions how to get a cheaper ticket? The only option I see is going to York very early in the morning and then taking a coach to...

    Newcastle Airport to Whitby

    Unfortunately I got second thoughts... If my flight is delayed there's a good chance not arriving into Whitby in time. So I'll rather fly to Manchester on Thursday, take the train to Scarborough and the bus to Whitby on Friday.

    Newcastle Airport to Whitby

    Dear all, any chance to get from Newcastle airport to Whitby arriving before 6pm (and starting after 1pm) on a Friday? The only connections I found are these: APN -> WTB 12:04 -> 15:38 (departing too early) APN -> WTB 16:04 -> 19:25 (arriving too late)

    London to Billericay

    I'd like to go from London to Billericay on Saturday. Let's see if I understood the whole boundary fares thingy... Liverpool Street to Billericay return costs £14.20. A Z1-6 travelcard costs £13.10 and a BZ6 to Billericay costs £7.20 so that doesn't make any sense if you're not travelling on...

    London to Torquay/Paignton on Easter

    Whoa, thank you. Another (theoretical) question: Given the fact that I'm not a UK resident would be the BritRail South West Pass an option?

    London to Torquay/Paignton on Easter

    Dear all, I'd like to go from London to Torquay/Paignton on April 21st and back on April 23rd. The journey planner shows an off peak return ticket for nearly 100 quid. Are there any cheaper options (except coach)?
