    Railcard renewal expiry date dispute

    I've had a DSB railcard for many years (hearing loss), and whenever I've previously renewed, the date on the "new" railcard has always been 1 or, as the case may be, 3 years after the expiry of the existing railcard. Earlier this month, a month prior to the expiry of my still-valid railcard, I...

    Availability of Eurostar through tickets from National Rail stations

    I've noticed that, on the Eurostar website, at least as far as I can tell, there is no availability of National Rail through tickets to any Eurostar destination for any journey on or after Sunday 8th December. Does anyone know why this is, and more importantly, know if and when these tickets...

    Question on 'loophole' ticket validity and possible hassle

    I don't wish to name the stations at this stage, but, with stations A -> B -> C -> D in a line, not being part of the same station group, I'd like to buy a C to D "via B" CDR ticket which permits BoJ at intermediate stations, and use it, along with a different CDR valid for A to B, to travel A...

    Definition of the word "journey" as used in railway byelaw 18

    This largely relates to the closed thread: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=127475 but raises general issues of importance when giving advice. I hoped to return to that thread before it was closed, but was sidetracked by family issues. Neither byelaw 18 nor byelaw 25 defines the...

    2015 Fares general discussion

    Taken from http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=106846&page=9 Some, but not all, 2015 fares are now available here: http://trainscanbecheaper.info/FareIncrease.aspx and I thought the general topic of 2015 fares deserved its own thread. I'm interested in buying some walk-up tickets...

    Permitted routes on Bramley- Gunnersbury ticket

    This is taken from my post at the end of this thread: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1802467#post1802467 but separated because it relates to an actual journey I wish to make, and on which I now seek advice. Is 'via Reading, Staines and Richmond' the only permitted route for a...

    If I buy a Basingstoke- London 'rte Any Permitted' 'C7' CDR, or ODT: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/pdfs/ODT_C7.pdf intending to break my outward journey in Reading for a few hours, could I travel on an early morning weekday train from Basingstoke to Reading and break my journey there, provided I...

    BoJ at intermediate stations on regulated Off-Peak tickets

    I've recently received a response from the Department for Transport concerning the time restrictions that apply when a 'regulated SVR/SSR' [which happens to permits BoJ] is "started short" or "broken and resumed" at an intermediate station which is not a "London station" for the purpose of fares...

    Fleet- Cheltenham Spa routeing question

    Is a Fleet- Cheltenham Spa Super Off-Peak Single valid to start short at Basingstoke and end short at Bristol Temple Meads, when travelling via Reading and Swindon? I understand that this ticket permits break of journey. The online journey planners are showing this as valid, and I believe it...

    Routeing question: Basingstoke- Farnborough

    I'm going from Basingstoke to Reading on Friday morning, and noted that, according to online journey planners, a Basingstoke- Farnborough Stations SDS appears to be valid the 'long way round' via Reading. This ticket is cheaper than a SDS from Basingstoke to Reading. However, the Routeing...
