I am unsure of my plans but I'd like to purchase an AP ticket. If I have a MAN-MRY ticket could I embark at DGT or would I need a specific DGT-MRY ticket which therefore means I can't start my journey at MAN?

I used to travel pretty often by train to Glasgow and Edinburgh on VT. It would be pretty much wide open at £35 each way in First Class, with my railcard, £20. I'd board a fairly empty train at Carlisle, even on some peak services, so its pretty obvious why it was sold that way. With Avanti...

Northern have cancelled my train tonight so I won't get home, I've elected to stay with friends until tomorrow. I'll be able to get to Carlisle but not to Maryport as no services are running on the Cumbrian Coast. Will my ticket be accepted for travel tomorrow and is there any basis to claim...

Using Trainscanbecheaper, when I set the destination to "Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road or Deansgate" it is finding significantly cheaper fares than alighting at Victoria than Piccadilly. The difference is double the fare. As I am not familiar with Manchester, does it mean that...

I was due to travel with Northern from Workington to Manchester Airport via Barrow in Furness. My journey had me arriving at 14:41 into BIF changing for the direct 14:46 to MIA. My mobile tickets are an an anytime return from BIF and an advance single from BIF-MIA. Two tickets. The connection...

Because I like the flow of the website I have been using the LNER to site to purchase journeys on TPE and VTWC. The fares were all the same as you would expect to find on any TOC website. Indeed, I always thought that each TOC site should have the full suite of fares available as each other...

I'm travelling on a Euston- Workington on this strike day. My arrival into Carlisle is scheduled to be after the last replacement bus transport. I have no way to leave Euston earlier or delay my trip to Tuesday. Will there be a taxi provided for me to get home? The local station told me I...

I was looking on my usual route, which is Workington to Glasgow Central. Previously, the cheapest First Class ticket was £26.50, after 1st April, I can't find anything less than £30.50. So it seems there was a fare increase? I know that Advance Fares are unregulated. Perhaps I missed the...

There's a number of connections that are only bookable on other platforms such as Rail Easy, VTEC or TPE. For example, one I regularly use is Glasgow Central to Workington on the 17:30 EUS service. I can't get it to ever appear on VTWC site, so I use TPE and enter avoid "Lockerbie" in the box...

I am keen to find a well-priced First Class VTEC fare on Aberdeen Glasgow (via Edinburgh). I have searched here because I thought it might be a common question but I could not find any ideas. This would be for Monday 10th July and I do not see any advance fares. Any suggestions would be...

There are some decent First Class fares from Carlisle (CAR) to Liverpool that involve changing at Preston (PRE) and Manchester Oxford Road (MCO). The stated service would be one of the VT services from CAR-PRE and "plus connections" involving NR. I only see NR being thrown up because it gives...

There are no First Class fares for sale on this route despite it being readily routable via Preston and Manchester which all feature First Class trains such as VT and TP. I can only find Standard Class fares online. I would never be able to book a full fare First Class ticket in any case, so...

The 08:40 from Newcastle connects with a Scotrail service to either Central (no 1st) or Queen Street. Is there a way to get any of the TOC websites to issue a NCL-GLC with the XC service which arrives into GLC at 12:12 but using the VTEC 08:40 from NCL? So my journey would be VTEC 08:40...

This day is not a good day to travel and there are many bus replacements meaning no advance fares. I'm looking for WKG to GLC on 01 MAY one YPR and one adult. I think a throw away return and a split at Wigton *may* be the cheapest. I don't think Edinburgh tickets are cheaper if alighting...

I'm looking for best First Class fare on WKG to LPY for Thu 17 Nov one way, with 16-25 Railcard. I don't mind to book a F class ticket to say Warrington or Preston and separate in STD class if the savings overall are good. I had some problems to get TPE to show who appear to operate the...

I have an advanced First ticket that is specific to a VT service via Edinburgh with appropriate connections to Dunblane. There is no 1st Class accommodation on the direct EDB services to Dunblane operated by Scotrail. Is there an alternate routing I could take with First Class accommodation...

I will need to book a ticket on the day so I cannot avail of advance fares. What would be the best splits and total fare for a weekday after 6PM EDB-NCL (or Newcastle Airport-APN) single (or rtn if cheaper) please ? Thanks!

I'd like to do a trip on this route for a day trip next week. Maybe do Pendolino out and a EC back if the schedule works, though I think the Munich train schedule would mean its better to do Pendolino both ways. I noticed that 1st class on Pendolino gets a free refreshment and 2nd class a...

Hi, Thanks to some tips from here I am familiar with using the via/avoid to churn out routings that would ordinarily not be offered by the booking systems. This is particularly useful when looking for advance tickets with connections to non-reservable services as I often do on a journey like...

I'm looking to make this journey in the summer. At worst case it may be a return but hopefully I can fly back from Sibiu. I know to buy First Class from reading (locked) old threads but I would like to know a little more about what I will be getting myself in for. The DB timetables show...
