    First Class Britrail

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of doing an ALR (well, Britrail because I can) in first class. I'll start out in Bristol Parkway, but aslong as I'm in a major city (with a hostel) overnight there shouldn't be an issue. Just wondering what the best trains to get are? I'm obviously looking to travel the...

    Excess rules

    FOSS Rover

    On what TOCs is the Freedom of Severn and Solent Rover valid? National rail says "Arriva Trains Wales, First Great Western, South West Trains, CrossCountry ", which means that Southern and London Midland are out of the question - I'm trying to think of any particularly annoying implications of...

    New Routeing Guide

    Now I hated the electronic guide as much as everyone else, but the new one (i.e. pdf only) is just horrendous. I can't help but think if you even mentioned the words to a guard you would just get your ticket stamped. There's still some lovely routing (such as Bristol to Exeter SW, route...

    Excesses

    How do excesses work? I had a ticket recently that I wanted to change the destination on, and was told by BRI ticket office that it couldn't be done and they could only excess the difference between a railcard and non-railcard ticket etc. and I'd have to buy a new ticket. So I'm just wondering...

    Dispute with revenue protection

    If you, say board a train as the ticket machine isn't functional in some way, but the guard refuses to sell a discounted ticket, or you boarded a service which the guard refused to believe your ticket was valid on, what rights do you have? Are you able to refuse to pay, and provide your name...

    Train connections with advance tickets

    I have two separate advance tickets (one to and one from Derby). If the incoming train were to be delayed such that I missed my connection, would I be forced to buy another ticket for my connection?

    Bristol to Ludlow via. Birmingham?

    Bristol Parkway is part of the Bristol Group, and Ludlow's routeing points are Hereford and Craven Arms. Using Hereford (i've no idea if one is expected to use the closest routeing point from the origin), maps are BD, CE, WR. (Craven Arms gives just map BD.) Map CE appears to allow travel via...

    Bristol Parkway - Paddington

    I'm trying to track down tickets for 2 adults (one with a railcard) for Bristol Parkway to London Paddington (although, if it is another London terminal, this wouldn't bother me). Any ideas on the cheapest tickets? Splitting tickets on the Paddington to Swansea mainline didn't seem to help for...
