I've just booked a Eurostar "through ticket" from Sheffield to Brussels, and I've been given a ToD code to collect the tickets for the UK leg. Does this require the same card to collect the tickets as was used to make the booking, or do Eurostar allow any card for collection...

Do Thameslink do (seat or counted-place) reservations? If I book an Advance from Gatwick Airport to Sheffield using Thameslink from Gatwick to St Pancras, I know I'm committed to the particular EMT service I reserve but do I have to stick to the specific Thameslink service on the itinerary...

I need to travel to London in a couple of weeks for work. I'd like if possible to travel out via a brief stopover at Leighton Buzzard to drop off a parcel with a friend, and return to Sheffield a couple of days later. There is a £54 "LM & XC" return ticket on which booking engines will give...

Surprised this hasn't popped up here before now... No trams between Sheffield Station and the city centre due to a large hole that has appeared beside the track at the delta junction on Park Square roundabout. Meadowhall services are unaffected (other than the fact that nothing is running west...

As far as I can tell the answer is yes but I just wanted to double check with the experts... I know Sheffield to Nottingham is valid via Derby and Sheffield to Derby is valid via Nottingham, but can you do the DBY-NOT or vice-versa leg via a change at East Midlands Parkway or does it have to...

I need to make this circular journey tomorrow, leaving Derby after 9am to go to Sheffield, then leave Sheffield around 6 to go to Mansfield for a brief stop off and then back to Derby. A Derby to Worksop day return appears to be valid both via Sheffield and via Nottingham but costs 18 quid odd...

I'm trying to find the cheapest combination of walk-up tickets that would allow me to travel on the 08:20 CrossCountry service from Sheffield to Birmingham on a weekday morning and return around 18:00 on a different day. The through SOR is £75, I've got it down to £50.60 with a combination of...

I'm looking for tickets that would allow me to travel from Derby (DBY) to Jewellery Quarter station in Birmingham (JEQ) on a Monday morning and back on Friday evening. Going out I'd want the 08:53 XC service from Derby, coming back probably the 19:03 or 19:30 from Birmingham New Street. Would...

Does anyone know if the 11:20 Birmingham to Glasgow Virgin service will still be a pendo rather than a voyager in the next timetable? The "frequently requested diagrams" thread says it is until the December timetable change but what about beyond (I'm going to Glasgow in January)?

I'm looking at a weekend trip to Glasgow travelling up from Derby on Friday 20th January and back on Monday 23rd. Need to be there by about 17:30 on the Friday but flexible about times coming back, however I would like to go the quick route via Crewe and the WCML if possible rather than the...

I'm going to Germany this week on a London-Spezial ticket, a rather long and complicated journey involving a Eurostar, ICE, IC, RE and RB (in that order). I'm fully aware that my reservations on the Eurostar/ICE/IC trains are compulsory, but do I have to take the specific RE and RB trains...

Does anyone have any experience of travelling with very large luggage (in this case a double bass), in particular on East Coast? My band has been offered a gig in Aberdeen and I'm wondering whether it'll be possible for us to get to it without having to drive. No problem for me with small...

Next weekend I need to travel from Derby to Wolverhampton on Saturday morning, then Wolverhampton to Birmingham on Saturday afternoon, stop overnight and then travel back Birmingham to Derby on Sunday (exact times not yet decided). Is this allowed on a DBY-WVH off-peak return? Or does anyone...

Can any ticket office staff confirm for me whether it's possible to buy Plusbus day tickets in conjunction with a rail season ticket? My wife holds a monthly season ticket between Derby and Birmingham, but once or twice a week she needs to use the buses in Derby after work. She's been buying...

Here's a nice challenge for you fare-optimisers out there. My wife and I are planning a weekend in the Lake District in September. We've taken half-days off work on Friday 10th and Monday 13th. She will be starting from Birmingham New Street and I will be starting from Derby, the journey...

My wife and I are travelling to Europe for new year, taking a Eurostar to Brussels and then a Thalys to Cologne. So on Tuesday I booked a pair of advance tickets from Derby to "London International" on the Virgin Trains website (the journey is via East Midlands Trains but neither they nor NXEC...
