I wasn't expecting to able to save anything on Sheffield to York by using split tickets, but I was surprised to be offered an itinerary by Trainsplit that involved changing at Leeds that asked for a split at Wakefield which is more expensive than the through Off Peak Return (£13.55 with...

I am in the process of registering for an application for a placement for Network Rail. In this I am being asked to give some preferred locations, but I've been unable to find much information on what happens at the different locations. The options I'm being given are Milton Keynes, Bedford...

I bought some tickets from TransPennine Express last week and attempted to collect them from a ticket machine, beyond the 2 hour period it says you may need to wait before you can collect your tickets. The issue I had was that, at the first ticket machine I used (a collection only machine, if...

I was looking for the longest direct journey in the country, which unless something has changed should be the 1V60 0820 Aberdeen to Penzance (in September so it was after the Bristol works) and it appears to have been shortened to only run as far as Plymouth, with the Penzance now running from...

I've just booked some tickets for travel for a friend from Trainsplit and thought it would be a bad idea to book an E-ticket because I was booking for somebody else. I did this only to be reminded by the booking confirmation Email that ToD requires collection with my card, and there is no way I...

Somebody has just messaged me a picture of a Kettering to Bedford Stations ticket they've just bought (travel now) 'Valid only Via Bus' wondering why this was a train ticket if it wasn't valid on the train? I've never seen VIA BUS before, even on a through to bus ticket (for example Taunton to...

Why is it that some places seem to be being stupid with their mask requirements in emergency situations - such as my flats saying if you're self isolating and the fire alarm goes off you must wear a mask when leaving the building, and another poster in another thread said about the same thing...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/edinburgh-to-london-tickets-changing-to-via-york-rather-than-any-permitted.200999 While that works for I'd think anything else, surely Kentish Town wouldn't work, due to the doubleback into St Pancras?

Does anyone have a list of places where I can get a railcard added to an oyster card? Also, if I have to use the oyster card before I can get the discount added, what will happen to the daily cap for that day?

I am looking to travel from Woking to Shoreham-by-Sea and return from Christs Hospital, having walked a section of the Downs Link, and I'm having trouble getting any results from the routeing guide calculator (to determine routes that way) or get a booking engine (trainscanbecheaper, saying it...

A unexploded bomb has been discovered during engineering works on the line out of Paris Gare de Nord, meaning that Eurostar, as well as domestic rail services, are going to be disrupted tomorrow so they can dispose of it. So far, 5 Eurostar services have been cancelled and one will be diverted...

A (hopefully) simple query here, as while I can understand why it is recommended to remove the name from a ticket, why do people also say to remove the booking reference and ticket number (and are there other things, I'm not sure?), what do these tell anyone?

A quick question, is a groupsave ticket valid on Virgin Trains West Coast or Northern, as according to the information on brfares.com (see below), but according according to the restriction data for Groupsave Not valid to depart any location at any time on NORTHERN Not valid to depart any...

As it was mentioned by @E_Reeves that he thought there should be a new thread for this year's Christmas, I thought I'd say Happy Christmas to all on a new thread. Hope you all have an amazing Christmas and I hope we get some rail improvements next year (this year we've had stations close, not...

I mentioned in another thread that it may be useful to have a split-ticketing engine taking into account a season (or already held return). What are people's thoughts on this idea?

Hope someone can help. I am going to be applying (on behalf of my Mum) for delay Repay for a 15-29 minute delay on the outbound outboundary section of a Off Peak Day Travelcard from Woking. What is the delay Repay I can expect back, as information only lists amounts for single, return and...

I am hoping to travel into London from Woking on a Weekend Super Off Peak Travelcard, but am unsure as to what the evening peak restrictions are, even after looking through another thread on this forum discussing the issue. I know I can't get a train home between 16:00 and 18:30 departing...

I will be travelling in first class between Reims and Paris (on a TGV) next week. Are there any first class lounges or equivalents in France?

In the last set of clues in The Name the Station Game we noticed that Farringdon isn't in the London Stations Group, unlike London Bridge, London Blackfriars, City Thameslink and London St Pancras on the Thameslink core. Why is this?

I was looking to check a possible loophole that I thought I had found and noticed that there are no valid routeing points at either end for the journey for Brookwood to Blackwater in the routeing point calculator. The same is true for origin routing points only at Sandhurst and Crowthorne and...
