I have booked a SailRail from Ulvedrston to Dublin starting on April 24 (I psoted about the return leg a couple of weeks ago), but I booked the Advance to save a few pounds but I am reserved on a journey starting at 0709 with a 54 minute connection at Manchester Oxford Road, arriving ar 1232 to...

I am looking to travel from Dublin to Ulverston on Sunday, April 28. However while the thetrainline gives me a itinerary for a 1350 high-speed ferry sailing to arrive into Ulverston at 2301, that sailing does not start until May. The slow ferry at 1430 (as listed on the Irish ferries website)...

Avanti being themselves have rejected my delay repay claim for travel on July 23, and only informed me of this recently. The travel was: 1055 Workington 1144 Carlisle 1152 Carlisle 1308 Glasgow Central For travel on Sat 23 July This was delayed by over an hour as the 1152 service was...

I decided to go o a trip to the Isle of Man, using the rail service that is supposed to connect with it. Outbound there was little issue, although I had a 1h42 wait in Lancaster as there was no later train from Ulverston to connect to it, but the train to Heysham went smoothly. On my return...

I am planning to travel from Ulverston to Huddersfield using a return Northern pass I received, and the likely journey would be taking a direct Northern train to Manchester Oxford Road and changing. I would have to pay for Manchester to Huddersfield as that route is TPE only. On the outward...

I decided to travel on was supposed to be the last usable day of my 26-30 railcard last week, and I was unable to renew it because of my age. However when I pulled open the app it said it had expired. I raised this with the train guards before I boarded the train and they did not have an issue...

I have an Advance First ticket from Euston to Lancaster which is valid for tomorrow, in which I want to have the date pushed back to July 10. My dad had it for a business trip in March, but actually left earlier due to the pandemic. The original travel date was for March 20, but got the date...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/renfe-to-launch-avlo-low-cost-high-speed-rail-for-everyone.196603/ Wonder why [West Midlands Trains] don't do Manchester as well, or do the franchise terms forbid it? Although it is possible to go to Crewe and change there.

I am doing a trip to Canada next year, in BC then going over to Toronto and Montreal, and wondered what actually is the greenest way to travel cross country in Canada (and probably the US). The flygskam movement portrays flying as an absolute bad, and in most of Europe rail is greener than...

I keep hearing an advert on the radio referencing the 13:04 LNER train, Coach C. It supposedly goes to Edinburgh, Leeds, Newcastle via the Forth Bridge and London. Does such a service exist? Geographically speaking it would have to start somewhere north of Edinburgh, but it wouldn't go to London...

I made a journey from Colchester to Chester on Thursday 25 July, though the off-peak return ticket I bought was to Bangor and was intending to alight at Flint due to a change of plan, where I was going to be collected by my dad. Due to the severe disruption that day the 19:10 Virgin service to...

I was making a return journey from Colchester to London Liverpool Street, both on Advance tickets which were purchased through Traingenius. However when picking up the tickets only the outward ticket printed, and even the collection receipt acknowledges that there was 1 coupon to the value of...

I was doing an all day travel inbound from Bratislava to London on August 27 (final destination Colchester), where I had to catch the Eurostar at 18:57 from Brussels to London. The 14:29 Deutsche Bahn service from Frankfurt to Brussels I had booked with my pass was cancelled, and after going to...

I have been having a little issue with LNER not paying out fully for a delay repay claim using split tickets. The correspondence is as follows: The reply stated that I would only get paid for the ticketed part of the journey, from Doncaster to Colchester. So I wrote back as follows: I wish...

I am going to Normandy in May for a few days, and for the return I am planning to take the ferry on Monday 14th May as a foot passenger. With the ferry leaving Cherbourg at 17:00 French time and arriving at 19:00 UK time, how much time do I need to leave between the ferry's arrival and my...

As not all train ticket vendors have updated their railcards to include 26-30, such as Expedia, would it be acceptable to select a 16-25 railcard in the drop down for buying tickets, or would I need to buy from a vendor that does have the 26-30 option? I normally use Expedia for the favourable...

Another issue I have come across is with the 50% discount for 16-25 railcard holders. If I click through the link, 16-25 railcard holders will get the promotional 50% off the full fare, but 26-30 railcard holders will only the regular third off. As it is permissible to use 16-25 on the dropdown...

I have not been terribly impressed by this I must say. There was only indication on Twitter when the site would be live, the site only works on mobiles, and that was through my 4G connection, it did not work through Wi-fi. Uploading a photo was not exactly smooth sailing, it failed on many...

Stopping short of an open-aged National Railcard, my idea was to have all the regions that do offer a railcard for instance, the Annual Gold Card zone, Devon and Cornwall Card, Highland card, etc. and have all the regional discounts available in one "super" railcard that can be used in all the...

I have already asked Greater Anglia, but until they reply in 10 working days or so, I was wondering what you all thought. This was from the e-mail I sent: "I travelled on a ticket from London Terminals to Colchester on an Advanced ticket on Sunday 5 November, purchased to travel from London...
