Thought this probably merited its own thread. https://busandtrainuser.com/2020/05/25/cornwalls-free-bus-travel-is-completely-bonkers I'm not even going to try to express a view but completely bonkers doesn't begin to cover it

Another Plus Bus related question. I'm looking to buy some advance tickets using the CrossCountry Jan25 offer. However, these are only available as an e-ticket, meaning that the system throws a wobbly and won't sell me the ticket at all when I add a PlusBus. f i just buy the train ticket am I...

Have just learnt that the Gatwick Flyaway ticket was quietly withdrawn by GWR in January. Means that for the 2 of us to travel to Gatwick in the peak goes up from £40 to £72, if there is more than 2 of you the cost increase is even more stark. Ah well even with parking charges the car will be...

About **!!* time! https://www.gov.uk/government/news/delay-repay-15-secured-for-gwr-passengers

I have a disputed claim with GWR. Journey details as follows: The scheduled journey was to depart Lewes 16.24, changing at Gatwick and Redhill arriving at Farnborough North at 18.43. In reality the journey to Redhill was fine but the GWR service from there was delayed and I didn't arrive in...

I travelled from Farnborough North to Guildford this morning and would ordinarily travel on an off-peak train (08:46). However, due to the points problem at Wokingham, this train was cancelled and I had to catch one 15 minutes earlier (08:30), which pushed me into the peak. I therefore...

Hoping someone can advise me the best tickets to get for the above journey, as I'm sure there will be something better than a series of singles, but having played with National Rail Enquiries for a while I can't find anything obvious. The journey from Farnborough to Ealing Broadway will be in...

I have a Great Western Scratch card which is valid for a return journey anywhere on their network. I am required to enter origin and destination stations and scratch off the date of outward and return journey before the outward journey but what I'm not 100% clear on is whether I can split the...

I'm trying to purchase online a day return from Woking to Horsham on Sunday 6th March, but all of the online websites (at least I've tried SWT, Virgin and Southern) are showing no tickets available. It works for other days, just not this one. Any ideas?

An any permitted ticket between Farnborough and Guildford is cheaper than the route restricted via Woking ticket, but valid for travel via Woking. I usually purchase this from the ticket office at Farnborough Main, but today I was running a bit late and there was a queue, so used the TVM...

There used to be a nice table where you could find all the tube and tube/rail fares between each zone in London. Below is a link to the 2015 version http://content.tfl.gov.uk/fare-tables-2015.pdf Try as a might I can't find the 2016 version anywhere. Anyone any ideas?

Are you able to excess a railcard discounted ticket to full fare? I purchased and collected a Surbiton to Southampton Off Peak Peak Return online (from First TPE) for £20.60 with a Network Card discount, but foolishly left my railcard at home when setting off on my journey I realised by...

I like it! :idea::twisted: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/rail-companies-unveil-women-only-rip-offs-20150827101514

Where an any permitted ticket, costs less than a route restricted ticket, is there any requirement for ticket office staff to offer the cheaper, more felxible, ticket when just asked for a return between the two stations? Happened to me yesterday, when I noticed just after walking away from...

A friend wishes to travel from Hitchin to Lenham on Sunday 15th March, arriving late morning and returning from Sanding to Hitichin the following day; late afternoon. He has a Network Railcard. The cheapest I can find him is an off peak return (not HS1) Hitchin to Ashford, stopping short on...

Am trying to use the routing guide and have got a bit stuck. How do you identify permitted routes if the fare for all routeing points to your destination is greater than the fare from your origin station? Cheers

I have a friend who wishes to travel from Reading to Chilham on Saturday 4th May, returning that evening as far as Chatham and then onto Gatwick Airport on Tuesday 7th May. He doesn't have a railcard of any sort and travel will be off peak. I've been looking at various permutations and the...

Does anyone know if there is a reason why the additional early morning New Years Day services South West Trains are running to Basingstoke are set down only at Farnborough and Fleet? I understand the argument that such services in the regular timetable are set down only as it is easier to...

On a Saturday I wish to travel from Farnborough to Royston, back to Guildford and then return to Farnborough, all on the same day. I have an Annual Gold Card from Farnborough to Winchester. I think the following is the cheapest permitted way I can do this, but just wanted to double check, I...

Is anyone else had problems with booking tickets for TOD via the Southern Website? I've been trying since this morning but can only get it to work for tickets from a Southern station. For the Travelcard from Farnborough to London I'm trying to purchase it only gives me a postal option...
