    Delay claim difficulty with Transport for Wales

    For a journey at 1702 Abergavenny to Frome on Friday 31/3/23 the tfw planner suggested 1702-2001. The delay claim site gives a journey 1702-2049 with a 1h23min wait at Bristol Parkway. I was delayed as the 1702 arrived in Newport 20 minutes or so late, missing the 1741 connection to Westbury...

    Advance ticket following Eurostar arrival

    I'm travelling from Paris to St Pancras and then onto south Wales with GWR. Would an advance ticket be valid on a later service if the Eurostar arrival is delayed? I have booked the Eurostar so a through ticket is not an option.

    Heart of Wales Rover

    I know doubling back isn't allowed but as the ticket is valid to Shrewsbury is doubling back allowed between Shrewsbury/Church Stretten & Craven Arms? Or is this only allowed when purchased from Shrewsbury or Church Stretten to get you back to your origin station. I'd like to go Abergavenny...

    Sail Rail Holyhead with 30 minute connection

    I've booked Manchester Picc to Dublin sail rail. The train arrives at Holyhead at 1120 for the 1150 Swift ferry departure. The minimum check in for foot passengers is 30minutes. This train service is often a few minutes late. What are my chances of getting this ferry if the train arrives at 1130...

    1W94 1321 Cardiff Central to Shrewsbury

    What would have worked this on 28/7/17? It is showing as a DMU with first & second class. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O08119/2017/06/28/advanced I guess it was linked to the vandalism delays as it usually works to Holyhead - which it looks like it did as a separate service...

    'not via Reading' fares

    First Hull Trains are offering 'not via Reading' tickets for journies via Reading. Eg 8/7/17 Oxford - Abergavenny 0929 - 1234 Super Off Peak return £31.95. It also offers a seat reservation and allows me to buy the ticket. I assume it is a mistake as in the last couple of days the 1129 and 1329...

    XC Winter HST's

    I notice the 1155 & 1355 ex Sheffield going south are HST's on Real Time Trains. Is this likely to be correct as they are 'planned services' on RTT. Date I was looking is Saturday 22 October for a trip SHF to Taunton.

    If the booked train is late can I use an earlier service, for eg if I have to get to my destination for an appointment and the late booked service wouldn't get me there in time?
