I'm looking to buy a ticket online for travel on Thursday for someone else. The person travelling is in a different part of the country to me and is rather inept (relatives *sigh*) so won't be buying the ticket themself, and nor can I use the free "station collect". It's a journey that crosses...

I'm looking to travel from Glasgow (or Edinburgh if necessary) to Oxford on Friday evening leaving after 4pm, and returning Sunday evening (any time). I've tried splitting at carlisle, birmingham, and wolverhampton but the lowest has always been well over £120. Also going via London, but not...

I'm going to be travelling with a friend who has a student railcard. Were we to get a 2-together, would my friend get an extra discount (and if so, what would they pay?), or would we both just get 33%? I noticed recently on the caledonian sleeper page it says up to three can be used in a...

I brought a "Rail and sail" (dutch flyer, one-way from the Netherlands), but due to various technical problems with the website, when I actually brought the ticket it turns out to only be a Sail; No Rail! :-( I just discovered this checking in to the ship when they didn't give me the rail...

I'm trying to buy a ticket from netherlands to uk on the dutchflyer. As I'm only going one-way and starting in netherlands direction it seems I have to use dutch website (https://www.stenaline.nl/en-GB-nl/england/rail-and-sail). A couple of clarifying questions: Does it include rail travel...

Does anyone know how I can figure out what the cost-benefit of an interrail would be, specifically in relation to reservation costs (in particular sleepers)? As best I can tell, only Sweden, Italy and Germany have any ability to determine what the reservation costs are online...

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to travel in Finland by train price-wise? Two people, one with a general university student id (but both aged over 25). Can we buy student a ticket? (below prices are for two Adults) Planning something like: Malmo -> Stockholm sleeper - this...

I'm wondering at what point will customer convenience stop taking second place to revenue protection. * Yesterday morning at 08:50 I couldn't buy an Offpeak ticket from a Ticket Machine for a off-peak 09:00. So after queuing at the ticket machines, I then had to queue at the manned desk...

Any suggestions for returning by land or sea from Helsinki or Tannin (Estonia) to the UK in mid-late September? Ideally with sleepers. Seat61 says it's possible using a ferry to Rostok, and a sleeper from Berlin->Paris, but there doesn't seem to be any content explaining the route (...

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for getting to Copenhagen from London in early September. I have of course seen - http://seat61.com/Denmark.htm - but I was wondering if there are any other options - that seems like a super-slow journey given the distance. I guess there aren't...

So, I get an 09:00 FGW - the first offpeak train on the route for the day. But at 09:00 today a (late) XC turns up instead. The journey length on both trains is about the same (give or take a couple of minutes) Is my offpeak ticket valid on the XC? From a passenger's perspective it makes sense...

I was wondering, what's the best way to commute using Offpeak returns? I don't want to buy a season ticket (it's more expensive!), and nor do I want to buy a ticket every day manually. Is there some way of buying lots of tickets at once easily?

Quick question - I just bought some tickets for machine collection and the website said to wait at least 2hrs before collection. What's the actual minimum? Can I collect them sooner than that?

Does anyone have any suggestions for ticket splitting between Bournemouth and Reading for an Anytime Single ticket (the entire journey is peak)? I'll be taking the Cross Country, no changes. Splitting at Southampton seems to take it down to around £32; is there a way to get it lower? Thanks.

Is there a cheap way of getting from Reading to Heathrow T5? (one way, offpeak) So far I've found: * RDG - Heathrow t1-3 - £18.60; change at Hayes & Harlington. * RDG - Heathrow t5 - it's a bus on the NR enquiries results, £20!! * RDG - Heathrow T5 - via padding and heathrow express -...

I was wondering recently why there weren't any sleeper trains through the Chunnel, and while briefly looking into it discovered that the idea had been considered and abandoned in 1997; for those who like me didn't know about this, it was called "Nightstar" -...

Does anyone have any suggestions for an Oxford to Manchester trip in late January, with an outward journey at about 18:30, and the return starting at ~09:30. The offpeak return is £74. I've priced up a few options and got it down to about £50 with a set of advances. * Oxf-Leamington *...

I just tried to buy a advance ticket from CrossCountry - On the delivery options page I have two options: 1) Print my own (which is new to me, but requires a printer) 2) Use the self-service machine.... and pay £1 for the privilege! When did they start charging for the self-service...

I'm travelling Didcot to Plymouth this evening. I have split tickets at Bath and Tiverton for the journey. I was going to take the 19:12 from Didcot to Bristol and change there onto the XC train to Plymouth. Unfortunately it seems the XC train has already racked up a 30 min delay according to...
