    Overlapping Two Together railcards (hypothetical)

    Doesn't seem to say you can't on the T&C's but you can't buy a single ticket with a ttrc you have to buy 2 for each Railcard (you can test this online) so you won't get any benefit.

    Azerbaijan and Georgia.

    Did tblisi to Yerevan overnighter. Booked the tickets at the station. The station is basically a shopping centre with some crumbling platforms. Ride through the countryside with the sunrise is incredible though. Been to baku too which is certainly more modern. Northern connections to Russia...

    it is an incredibly competitive price though and faster than the coach. i can imagine it being a very popular train for students with railcards on the superoffpeak.

    Unnecessarily long bus routes in the UK

    Used to be Trent Barton Transpeak Manchester Chortlon Street Bus Station to Nottingham Broadmarsh Bus Station via Stockport, Hazel Grove, Buxton, Bakewell, Belper and Derby. Think it took nearly 4 hours but a bargain for £7.

    East Midlands franchise won by Abellio

    You would be surprised... Particularly on Sundays it can be better/as good to go from Nottingham via London and on a Friday afternoons/evening, going via Grantham can also be a good option. Not to mention advance fares.

Is a London U123 origin valid to change at canada water instead via london overground...

    Controversial opinion: The UK has a pretty decent rail system

    The main gripe with the system is the extortionate cost of season tickets and travel cards around the South-East. Would like to see some analysis to see if these are at, or above-cost, of providing the rail service. St Albans to Central London is just criminal in my opinion at those prices...

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    one thing that really sums up GTR's attitude towards customers and providing information is the lack of updates to the service map in the interior of the 700s. I had to explain to confused tourists not understanding that the train does in fact stop at London Bridge after Blackfriars... after...

    Help on London - Liverpool fares

    Liverpool Lime Street is closed for a number of weeks, so i assume you're going to Liverpool South Parkway? Regardless, the cheapest fares are West Midlands only fares - offpeak ticket, but these will be 4h+ changing at Birmingham costing 45GBP any time after morning peak.

    What is your controversial railway opinion/idea?

    a lot of people on here have completely different views to what the general public want from the railway because people on here tend to see a lot more long-distance services than the commuter that uses the train for journeys less than an hour.

    Stranded please help asap northern rail

    sorry to hear that mate. yeah it is unlikely they will refund you any more than the ticket. what you can do next time if this happens is check other stations on the same line; now Burnage and East Didsbury have different calling patterns to Mauldeth Road. It is an absolute shambles on that line...
