    Change advance ticket to next year

    Hi, I booked an advance ticket from Euston to Manchester for next Friday, the day before the train strike. I am no longer able to travel, and the next time I need to get to Manchester is only August 2024. Can I exchange it for an off-peak ticket that is dated only for next year? Or is there any...

    Grand Central Off-Peak ticket - added not valid this weekend

    Hi, I was going to buy this ticket for tomorrow but didn't buy it in advance in case I didn't have to go in the end, thinking it's an off-peak ticket so should stay the same price. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=KGX&dest=EAG&rte=49&tkt=G2R However now, it seems like Grand Central has...

    SWR cancelled journey - finding alternative itinerary

    Got a response within 5 minutes after contacting them through Facebook Messenger! Seats are reserved but apparently the train does not offer specific seats, so I just got seat ***. Isn't that unusual for Paddington to Exeter?

    SWR cancelled journey - finding alternative itinerary

    It does say in the journey planner mandatory reservations, but can't find anything on their website on how to get one unless doing it without buying a ticket. Visiting a ticket office seems to be the only option?

    Website to find cheapest ticket with slower trains

    Hi, Is there any website which looks for cheaper trains by splitting the journey and taking slower trains? I don't mean the standard journey splitting, where you take the fastest train and then check if it is cheaper to buy tickets for that fast train. I want to travel on the 23rd of August from...

    Backpacks of Ticket Inspectors

    I noticed on Great Northern that ticket inspectors always carry a massive backpack with them. I heard that these are somehow for the case they get attacked, but couldn't find any sort of further information about this online - can anyone shed some light on this?
