Am i missing something obvious? A Thames Branch Day Rover can be discounted to holders of a Network card but not holders of an annual gold card (which in itself acts as a network card)? As a gold card holder, should i therefore purchase a £1 Network card to benefit ...

Can someone clarify for me whether the £1.20 'add-on' fare is required to travel between Walsall and Rugeley TV if a £5.80 Network day tripper has been purchased. The zonal rail map implies not (purple shaded area also valid with zone 5 tickets) but the wording of the add-on suggests it is...

I am after some simple clarification please. If I am using the return leg of an off peak return (valid one month), can i resume the return journey (say) a week after i commenced it - providing i am still within the validity of the ticket (ie the one month). Thanks

Firstly, apologies for starting a new thread. I have just been shown an email from an East Coast guard that reinforces the pre 9.30am rule. It seems to go further (and i confess it was hard to read all of it at speed) and states that there are no exceptions, and ALR holders would need to pay...

I am planning to travel to Rome by rail in September (dates flexible, but end of month) Can any experts offer me any advice on routing / fares / ticket structure ? What should i expect to pay ?? All advice welcome. Thank you

Can the experts on the forum confirm that the advice i received (below) is correct ? I understand this train was cancelled and you decided to make alternative arrangements. The Off Peak ticket is a discounted fare, the full fare ticket being the Anytime ticket, and is therefore...

Hi. I recently experienced a cancellation of a Grand Central service I intended to use to travel to Yorkshire. As a consequence, I declined to travel (and instead made alternative arrangements) and submitted my ticket by post to GC for a refund. They have responded by providing me with a...

I tried to book a Fort William - London Euston berth paying the £45 supplement to compliment the first class ALR ticket I have. Although full price first class berths (with Z1 travel etc) were available, Scotrail refused to sell the supplement stating that the quota of supplements available...

I seek some advice please. On Sunday (28th Feb), I wish to travel from Crewe to London, preferably by way of WSMR from Wrexham. I hold the outward portion of a SVR return Manchester - London. (ignore the Manchester - Crewe bit as i be starting from Crewe) Now i know i could join an up...

I have been advised that the routing guide for Manchester - London includes :- Routing guide allows: CM+GC (Manchester - Birmingham/Coventry, then Birmingham/Coventry to Marylebone/Paddington via Banbury MM+PS (Manchester - Sheffield via Hope Valley, then Sheffield - London St Pancras...

I just bought one of these at Sevenoaks station. It took a full 20 minutes to complete the (£5.30) transaction. The problem was that the ticket presents itself as "M Train Dayrover". It was only when i ventured that 'M' might stand for 'Metro' (a complete punt on my part) that the clerk was...
