    Train “cancelled”

    Merry Christmas RF I bought a return Super Off Peak return ticket online with seat reservations on 22 Dec for travel out 24 Dec and returning today on 27 Dec on a 9am train. As this was just before the Christmas break I thought the timetable as finalised. When I checked today that train has...

    Break of Journey on 2W Restriction

    I have a Super Off-Peak Single (Any Permitted) which says on the e-Ticket in the GWR app "A break of journey at intermediate stations is not permitted". The restriction code 2W doesn't say anything about break of journey, nor does the ticket on brfares - is this enforceable?

    Southern rail letting you book for Christmas day!!!!

    True but sometime people get a little confused with contract law and exclusions/get-outs which the CRA would override. Interesting to know!

    Ski bag on GWR IET

    A relative is travelling on an off-peak service from Paddington in the early afternoon on Tuesday, they'll have a single ski bag between the two of them after a holiday. Subject to space would this be allowed on the train? Thanks in advance.

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    I think you're confused - it says last orders for food are at 19:31 at Reading. It wouldn't matter how long or short your journey is from Taunton at 20:49 as it's closed, so it can't mean your journey from Taunton is too short. Obsessing over a small thing but I'm getting married the next day...

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    Taunton station is after Reading station on GWR, and Reading is "Last call for Pullman Dining" - so there's no option for dinner if boarding at Taunton.

    GWR Pullman dining reinstated

    That's what I hoped, I'm travelling Paddington to Taunton and want the dinner service. Do they not start it until after Reading maybe and there's now not enough time to do the service before Taunton? If the last call is at Reading it doesn't make much sense to be saying if you get on at...

    One passenger travelling on Two-Together discounted ticket

    It's London to Exeter on a Super Off-Peak Return. We'd resigned ourselves to buying a single for him at ~£50 to get back after his isolation and 'losing' the ~£35 for his return portion, but another ~£35 to excess my ticket for no logical reason is too high a cost so we're reluctantly going to...

    One passenger travelling on Two-Together discounted ticket

    That's... unfortunate... He was happy to pay for a new ticket himself but for both of us is a unnecessarily punitive approach which is a real shame as we want to do the right thing, I guess as it's only a lateral flow test there's no legal requirement to isolate.

    One passenger travelling on Two-Together discounted ticket

    I have two Off-Peak returns discounted with a Two-Together railcard. We've travelled the outbound, my friend has tested positive for COVID-19 and we are due to travel back today. He will isolate but I want to travel back on my own. Would the railway allow me to travel back if I present both...

    SSR return train cancelled - refund?

    I'm travelling on GWR and our return train has been cancelled on a Super Off-Peak Return ticket (bought from a GWR ticket machine). We'd prefer to get a lift back with someone else rather than wait until the later service. How does one go about getting a refund on the ticket and how much...

    Central London to Stansted Airport

    Scratching my head to find a cheap(er) way of doing this than the 'regular' obvious tickets - is there any workarounds or splits that spring to mind? Thanks in advance!
