    Maltese cross at Kentish Town

    As Kentish Town is not a London Terminal, is a ticket from Kentish Town marked with a Maltese cross valid on the Northern line there (ignoring the current temporary closure)? Or, put another way, to reach Victoria from Kentish Town, is it valid to directly take the tube, or must you take the...

    North Kent - BML season ticket routeing

    I'm looking to purchase a Charlton - Burgess Hill season ticket (route London Not Gatwick Express) and am wondering what routes this makes available to me. I've looked through the routeing guide and understand I need to be looking for Charlton - Wivelsfield, and it gives via London, but which...

    LNER - unable to board? £80 please

    Really disgraceful conduct by LNER here: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/oct/01/lner-rail-ticket-valid-change-trains Am I right in thinking that a full refund for the erroneously applied £88 should have been in order? If staff endorse a ticket to be valid, verbally or otherwise, that's...

    W SUP OPK DAY R (ticket type: 'SOH') validity on Red Jet ferry

    Are SWR "W Sup Opk Day R" tickets (with code UL) to West Cowes valid on the Red Jet on the weekend at any time? The UL restriction text says "Not valid on trains departing: 04:30-10:59" which would suggest it is valid on the Red Jet at all times. Is this interpretation correct? Or is the Red...

    Relaxation of evening route restrictions

    Would it be a good idea to allow travel of the cheapest routed ticket on a route where it is not normally valid, but the trains on the valid route have ended for the night? This would encourage the use of these services and for people to use trains to go out for the evening - and help people who...

    Defensive Driving on Southern

    I've noticed recently that on the West Coastway at least, my last few trips have involved noticeably more 'aggressive' driving on Southern. I don't mean aggressive as to be unsafe, but for example this service made up 7 minutes with only 1/2 a minute of recovery time in the timetable. My...

    Sofia to Timioara

    Hi, In November I intend to travel from Sofia to Timișoara, by train. I've looked at a route on DB's website via Vidin and Craiova - does anyone have any tips generally, and speifically how to buy the tickets and the expected price, as my budget is quite tight? And additionally, whether there...

    Southern Advances 28/8

    Southern have not released any advance tickets for Southampton Central-London Victoria on 28 August. Their customer services tell me they have sold out for this date but I do not believe them as I've been monitoring this. On most journey planners the journeys are showing as a change at Horsham...

    SOUTHERN&AGA no more?

    Does anyone know what's happened to the route SOUTHERN&AGA fares to Stansted from Southampton-Havant? That used to be an amazing deal! Or did I just answer the question myself?

    GWR Bike Policy

    This feature was broadcast tonight on BBC1 in the South. In summary, we see a cyclist complaining about the new HST bike reservation policy, and then attempting to board an HST that he had booked a reservation on and being refused because he did not have a 'bike pass'. Firstly, are bike...

    Anytime Break of Journey

    The anytime ticket terms and conditions state: Just to confirm, does this mean, if I have an anytime ticket, I can travel B to C if I have an A to C ticket, where B is an intermediate station?

    LM & First Class Post

    About a month ago I bought some tickets to travel with Southern, for £14 (full price £48). I didn't want to use Southern's new booking engine so I booked with London Midland, and chose the free post as delivery. They didn't turn up after a few days, so I called LM and they said that was fine...
