    Luton DART and Luton Airport Parkway Updates

    Anyone know if they have an opening date for this yet? I'll be needing to get from Parkway to the airport next month. Interestingly certain TOCs already appear to allow booking tickets to "Luton Airport Parkway Dart" (code LPD), confusingly as well as "Luton Airport" (LUA), "Luton Airport...

    Two Together railcard discount for London Day Travelcard

    Agreed - as far as I can tell it looks like you can purchase these on any TOC's website by putting in any National Rail station in Zones 2-6 to London Zones 1-6. (Starting it outside zones 2-6 costs extra.) Does it matter which National Rail station in Zones 2-6 the day travelcard starts from...

    Two Together railcard discount for London Day Travelcard

    The ticket machine which sold us two day travelcards with our Two Together a couple of years ago was a National Rail one at Crayford station (Southeastern), which according to the current rail & tube map on the TFL website is in Zone 6.

    Two Together railcard discount for London Day Travelcard

    I tried to buy two London day travelcards for this Saturday using our Two Together railcard at my local station but they said that the railcard discount can only be applied when purchasing the travelcard with the train ticket to London, which I don't want to do as I've already purchased the...

    Welsh Government southeast Wales public transport survey

    My partner got handed a questionnaire on her train to work yesterday comparing preferences for bus, light rail (presumably not trams as it stated that option would be segregated from other traffic) and heavy rail options in southeast Wales based on price, service frequency, journey times, ease...

    Carmarthen to Aberystwyth Reopening?

    I live in Cardiff and drive (occasionally) but think the M4 relief road is a ridiculously poorly thought through idea for the same reasons others have already stated and will actually worsen congestion in and around Cardiff. It should have been realised long ago that the best way to reduce...

    CymruConnect combined rail & bus tickets in Wales

    I did try explaining it as well with no success unfortunately - thanks for the tip though, I'll try asking for that next time.

    CymruConnect combined rail & bus tickets in Wales

    The staff at the ATW ticket desk at Cardiff Central seem to be completely unaware of CymruConnect unfortunately. I'll contact Arriva and ask them about it (and whether it is actually any cheaper than buying separate tickets). (As an aside, the TrawsCymru T4 bus from Merthyr to Brecon in both...

    CymruConnect combined rail & bus tickets in Wales

    Has anyone bought a CymruConnect combined rail & bus ticket recently or know if the scheme's even still operational? ATW have this page on their website - http://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/Templates/Content.aspx?pageid=1071 - but I can't seem to find much more information on it online...

    Cambrian hourly service consultation

    Whilst it's fantastic news that the new hourly Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury services on the Cambrian Line are finally due to start on the 17th of May (www.gov.wales/newsroom/transport/2015/150320midwalestrains), why couldn't the new additional ones be extended past Shrewsbury to locations other...

    Carmarthen to Aberystwyth Reopening?

    Apologies, was just being a bit flippant there with that comment :-) Any thoughts about tram-trains for rural areas though? (I'm not sure what maximum gradient they can handle and I can't remember well enough what the roads are like between Carmarthen and Lampeter though for example, so that...

    Carmarthen to Aberystwyth Reopening?

    Long-time lurker here on this forum, first-time poster. As much as I would love to see this and the rest of the Traws Link Cymru campaign implemented, I think as others have already said the problem is that this would be linking southwestern Wales with a relatively low population, via...
