I'm holding two advance tickets to travel up the line to Waterloo and return on Saturday (21/1). Arrival time in London is important, so I will be setting off earlier than planned to allow for the delay. The SWR twitter seems clear now that I can take the route via Basingstoke and Reading into...

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry if this is a well-known topic but I have searched and not found the answer. I need to understand the likely effects of the RMT Network Rail strike on 5 November 2022 on tube services. I'm pretty sure I have previously read that some outer lines share signalling with Network Rail and...

The code on the ticket I was sold is UR

Too right, that is my regular Saturday trip arriving Waterloo at 08:52 and returning in the afternoon. I have only just learned about this fare change, but in future I will be buying Advance tickets.

FWIW, my first delay repay with Avanti was successful, and they responded pretty quickly too. Journey was 2 x Avanti trains connecting to CrossCountry, with split tickets (7 tickets for the whole journey). The second Avanti train was 22 mins late, causing missed connection to XC, and hence a...

Yes, I have taken the TERs from Le Havre and Caen to Paris, and can confirm that they are bike-friendly, with no reservation necessary or possible. But that doesn't help the OP, whose problems are on the onward leg from Paris.

I wasn't recommending that as a solution, it was just that I read your post as saying that your bikes would be in boxes. I think it would be really difficult trying to get boxes and panniers across Paris on the Metro, and I know it's easy and quite fun to cycle from the Gare du Nord to...

It's so frustrating trying to travel with bikes. Are you saying that you will have somehow crossed Paris with your bikes still boxed? Because it looks like if you buy your tickets on the SNCF site, then it will let you book 1st class with a boxed bike, though you still can't with a...

Yes, they are adding individual cards for people who contact them directly, but the website is still broken. According to The Grauniad (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/dec/20/railcard-website-crash-leaves-passengers-without-discount-cards), they switched supplier, which is why they...

The railcard website has been down for a few days now. They took it down for maintenance but now they say Their Twitter and Facebook are going wild with desperate would-be passengers, who are being advised to pay full fare and claim back afterwards. I was there because I wanted to get a code...

At popular times of year there is a quota on passengers travelling with a bicycle on these routes, especially the Spanish ones, presumably because it is more lucrative to sell cabins to people travelling with motor vehicles than with bicycles. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess that the quota...

For all of you eager for news ... Irish Ferries took so long to get us off the ship that we missed the 18:23, meaning that it's not possible to get the last train home. On the next train now, intending to break the journey in Wolverhampton and carry on tomorrow.

That's not how I read the document I posted earlier, unless they accept your view that the delay is not weather-related, which other posters think is unlikely. They have conveyed me to Holyhead, job done.

That would be 50% of 39 euros then. I'm not going to get B&B with that.

a) I'm not sure there will be a future. Right now even Ryanair seems preferable. b) I came out by Stena Line, and tbh this Irish Ferries ship is more comfortable, generally nicer. The man in Seat 61 prefers it, and I can see why. Also the WiFi is pretty good :) c) These are forums and of course...

Not sure I follow. 50% of the journey "leg", by which I guess they mean the ferry element of my £42.40 Sail Rail ticket, isn't going to go very far.

You're right, the weather today is fine, and that distinction is one that I may use in the future, depending on how things pan out. It's not going to make an impression on the big uniformed bloke who didn't want to give me a food voucher though. I'm not feeling hopeful about getting anything...

The cause of the delay is weather-related - it's a knock-on from the bad weather yesterday so the ships were in the wrong places. I found this: https://www.irishferries.com/globalassets/faqs/psacharterchapter_2014.pdf which says they are not going to offer any help. They've already declined...

Currently in Dublin Port still waiting for the 08:05 Irish Ferries to sail to Holyhead, will probably go about 15:00. Traveling on a Sail Rail advance CIV ticket routed via London to my home station, and originally expected to be home by 19:00. There's no chance of getting the 17:31 from...
