I haven't posted on a good while but I would like some clarification on the issue of Disabled Persons Freedom Passes being valid on ANY train between Paddington and Reading during normal off peak times (not just on XR services). This issue came about when I went to Paddington GWR ticket office...

Hello I wish to travel to Worcester on Friday 4th December on the 0850 from Paddington via Evesham. I am returning from Stroud later that day. I know there is a London to Worcester via Evesham/Stroud Saver ticket priced at 54.10 (I have a DIS railcard) which would be perfect for my needs but...

Any ideas how one can achieve my journey requirements, bar buying the SSR

I am making a journey from King's Cross to Doncaster on Saturday 5th May 2018. I am planning to travel outward on the 08:33 to Leeds. However I am doing a bus Explorer trip around the area upon arrival, so I want flexibility on the way back depending on what buses/routes I decide to bash, so...

I have wrapped my brains, but cannot see any viable split ticketing options. I wish to travel on the 0833 King's Cross- Leeds only to Grantham (train only calls Stevenage in between) and then do a bus Explorer and return from Leeds back to KX on the 19:45 departure (calls Wakefield...

On a Saturday (in two or three weeks time) I will be travelling from Marylebone to Birmingham, bashing some buses on the First Wyvern network before returning from Stratford-Upon-Avon. Would a SVR London- Birmingham, cover me for the return from Stratford? Or do I need a separate ticket from...

I have also found them on display on the ticket office counter (by the barriers) at West Kensington. Walthamstow Central and Tottenham Hale on occasions have put out a few of each in a spare rack amongst the Tube stuff, but you need to be lucky as they quickly get taken.

Yes, I have been on a railtour routed via Nine Elms Flyover- with an ED (class 73) that was drawing power from the third rail.

As a three time world record holder for the London Underground tube challenge and actually being a born a bred Londoner, there is very little on the Underground/Overground/DLR system that I have not covered, the Kennington loop being one notable example that I haven't yet covered. Although I...

I believe the recent resignalling/pointwork changes at Watford Junction has done away with the single track link between the DC lines and the Up Fast, indeed the bit of third rail that was on the Up Fast at this point has been removed. So apart from the approaches of Euston the only other link...

I use Ledbury station a few times a year, upon walking up the approach ramp you are greeted with the usual yellow poster "Warning- Have you paid?" implying penalty fares are in force. How can LM enforce this when on Saturday afternoons or in the evenings (when the ticket office closes) the...

On a recent East Coast trip I had advance tickets and seats booked (for two) in coach D. However upon boarding (after noting down the loco number) I noted a whole bay of four unreserved in coach B, so me and my friend decided to take this opportunity and move. Can I then walk back up to coach...

I agree with this, not all clerks (especially out of area) will know how to issue this ticket. I once went to London Waterloo to buy this very ticket (combined with a London-Shrewsbury SVR) so I could stay on the same train through to Axminster. However, it took about four clerks and fifteen...

No, I haven't had an email from Callum about new times for the website, once I receive the email I will get the relevant pages updated accordingly. Tangy

Others have commented on that too, but my main aim when I first built the website (I do all my coding myself, manually) was just to get the data online and presented to a wider audience. I am currently undergoing a redesign of the main home page to give it less of a colour clash, the...

Hello, you may know me better as "Tangy" of which I own and run The Bus Forum (www.busforum.co.uk) it is a mainly of a London centric nature but discussion of provincial operators is very welcome too.

As some of you may know I am a well known "tube challenger" with 3 world records to my name, but of course tube challenging isn't only about doing the whole network in a day. There are a plethora of other, shorter challenges that can be completed using the Tube Map that often only taken a few...

Member number 45, only just got back to posting on the forum after a period away. Trouble is with all the posts (and amount of traffic) on this forum it can take a fair amount of time to read through what members have posted. Time which I am trying to divide a fair number of ways, with a normal...

I am doing this very thing myself... and I too do not count jumping off (and back on) the same train, that is cheating. I also count stations where one has to exit one set of barriers then enter another as separate, so Paddington is counted three times (mainline, H&C and Bakerloo/District)...
