Thank you for everyone who has written in. I am very familiar with a Querty keyboard and I am a very fast typist on a Querty keyboard. I worked in an office from 1983 until 2020 using desktops/laptops. It is not an old/young thing as I would imagine older people are a lot more familiar with the...

I didn't type my OP very well. What I meant is that it must be possible to have 2 keyboard layouts on the screen at the same time, or a selector button to change the keyboard to the most suitable one for the user. Even if only 3/10 people are quicker using an ABCDE etc layout and have the...

I tend to buy tickets from home and collect them at the station. The ticket machines have on-screen Querty Keyboards which makes entering the collection number a much longer process that it has to be. There is often a queue and you can see that some people struggle to find where the letters are...

Some advice please. My wife is not well and has limited mobility as well as balance problems. We travel from Kings Lynn to SW destinations via Waterloo when we can. We found that the Victoria line/change at Oxford Circus was too difficult due to the long walk at Kings Cross and deep tube...

I have a Senior Railcard for which the Terms & Conditions used to say it can only be used after 10am in the Network SE area. I notice that the website now says it can not be used at 'peak times' but is not specific when that is. It seems I can now buy a ticket using the railcard for trains...

There is a foot crossing approx one mile south of Kings Lynn station called Nowhere. Occasionally there is a proper sign, but it doesn't seem to stay for long (souvenir collectors?). How did a crossing ever get such a strange name and why was the name kept? It must cause all sorts of confusion...

I never imagined the bus times might change. The current 6/6A Exeter-Bude timetable (Stagecoach website) is dated 25th February 2018 which implies there is no difference between the summer and winter times. Hopefully the return Advance train ticket I bought will still be okay if the bus times do...

Thanks for the quick reply. I cannot get the same results as you! I have bought GWR rail Advance tickets from Kings Lynn to Exeter and back for these dates: 12th + 17th June. There are no through Advance tickets from Kings Lynn to Bude on these dates. To complete the bus section of the trip, I...

Kings Lynn - Peterborough (via Excel bus) - York/Newcastle/Edinburgh Kings Lynn - Exeter - Bude These are journeys I take several times a year. BR fares show a number of off-rail destinations such as those above. The available tickets however seem to be reduced each year. The LNER website no...

Thanks for the interest Indigo2 The date I was looking at was July 29th. It seems in retrospect that a peculiarity of this journey is that if there have been no Advance fares released, then there is not a 'Normal' fare to show instead, so the East Coast Trains website says 'no fares available...

There seem to be very few destinations available for advance fares from Kings Lynn (KLN). Fares are therefore disproportionately expensive. Depending on the destination, sometimes it is cheaper to buy a Anytime ticket to Cambridge (CBG), and then buy an Advance ticket to the final...

I passed through Swindon on the 6th March (just got back) and there was a class 66 inside the rail served warehouse at the west end of the station. I have never seen the warehouse used before. What was the working?

Via 'City Thameslink' gives the same result as via Blackfriars. You have told me what I need to know - the ticket is valid by this route regardless. Thank you for you help.

You have now made me think: -A suggested future journey date of 25th August: The cheapest single ticket from Kings Lynn to Bournemouth via Blackfriars is an Anytime single for £81.00. Even though I have requested 'via Blackfriars' the recommended journey across London is on the...

Thanks for the prompt reply; I will travel via Blackfriars in future as I am not very keen on the deep tube lines. Too many people in confined spaces.

I have recently joined this forum and have a peculiar route/ticketing question that I hope someone can answer. I live in North Norfolk and often travel from Kings Lynn to Kings Cross and then onwards to the south coast (Portsmouth/Bournemouth/Weymouth etc). I always attempt to buy the cheapest...
