    LNER seat map for journeys after 18th May 2019

    I was looking at journeys in the week commencing Sunday 19th May 2019 (which is the date when the summer timetable is due to start) and found that the LNER seat map is randomly unavailable. For example, on an Aberdeen to London train, the seat map was available for Dundee to London journeys but...

    Dundee-Leuchars-Ladybank: no rail replacement bus timetable yet for March Sundays

    Is it usual for rail-replacement bus timetables not to have been entered into the journey planners with only 4 weeks to go until the first of the days for which they will be needed? I did try contacting Scotrail but the person replying simply agreed that there would be replacement buses on...

    When do we start paying 2018 prices for 2018 tickets?

    My recollection is that as from a date in early-mid December, prices for the new year (rather than current-year prices) are charged for rail-ticket bookings for travel in the new year. Is that correct and, if so, does anyone know the date this year when prices will change for 2018 bookings?

    The VTEC site says that their seat selector is currently suspended for technical reasons, but given that from a user's perspective it was working well enough, and given that the suspension seems to have lasted for a week or so already, is it reasonable to fear that the suspension will become...

    Cupar: the poor relation when it comes to tickets?

    I was looking at a possible trip to Cupar from London, travelling up late on a weekday evening and coming back the following Sunday afternoon. First, I discovered that Cupar is in something of a train-service wilderness: sandwiched between Leuchars (which unlike Cupar is served by fast...

    New Scotrail £5 advances not available on all retail websites

    The new Scotrail £5 Advances seem to be available on the Scotrail and Trainline websites but not on the Virgin Trains East Coast or GWR websites. Am I doing something wrong when I look for them on the VTEC site, or are they only being sold on certain sites? The promotional material on the...

    Having to book 2-way bike-space reservation when only 1-way reservation wanted

    I was booking tickets (offpeak returns) for 2 people planning to travel on busy trains. I therefore wanted to book seat reservations for them. They were going to be bringing a bicycle back with them, so I needed to reserve a bike space for the return leg of the journey. However, I ended up also...

    Changing a discounted online Advance to a different date at a ticket office

    I had an Advance for a journey on Virgin Trains East Coast this coming Sunday and needed to upgrade it to an Advance for the corresponding journey on Monday. I had bought the ticket online from the VTEC website and had therefore had the benefit of their 2% online discount. I tried to make the...
