    I can still use Uber Credit to purchase train tickets today from previous gift card. Does it only apply to new gift card? Edited: Uber Credit is separate to Uber Money, gift cards bought from May 2024 ish were not redeemable for rail tickets

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    Apologies for the misunderstanding. Now I understand what they meant with only a bit of confusing when they said the withdrawal of 374 and 375 (from the windmill estate) due to low passenger number. If you would like to do this Bristol to Minehead day trip again, last bus from Taunton at 5pm is...

    First West of England (Bristol, Bath & The West)

    New 373 replacement means that no more buses serve between Street and Taunton or Bridgwater, don't think Somerset will take it back. This seems to be a permanent withdrawal to the connecting towns.

    How busy is the 1134 xc to exeter?

    I would say not too busy going down south west in the morning and not many people are going south of Bristol at that time. It is not the case when you go for the other direction that many south west people travel up to Bristol and it is always full and standing travelling north in the morning...

    I've checked brfares data and seems can't use the railcard together with the sale price, which is not a huge bargain. Most of the GWR sale prices will be the same as their sale and not a big difference for railcard holders. XC has better sale prices even for railcard holders although not as big...

    Train and bus ticket on Mendip Explorer 376

    There is always a Wells or Glastonbury or Street Bus destination on brfares and GWR database. It seems they don't have bus 376 times on national rail timetable and it is non purchasable without the bus timings when I search on GWR website. I understand there is a £2 fare currently which works...

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Does this mean 29 (partially) and 75 transfer to West of England Wells Depot with Mendip E400s?

    Just spotted CrossCountry train tickets, there are very cheap advance promotion tickets on some early or late trains especially in the middle of the week from Tuesday to Thursday. I haven't seen any websites or messages about it, what kind of promotion is that?

    First South West (Kernow & Buses of Somerset)

    Can anyone here tell me what's happened to Dartmoor Explorer? It's nearly July now and there's still no news about it. It's an amazing travelling peak sunny month and it's a shame without any bus services in Dartmoor

    ASLEF non-contractual overtime bans -various dates and TOCs

    So I presume this overtime ban is a short notice cancellation on those days and we don't know which trains are going to be cancelled in advance, right? I'll travel GWR from South West to London in that week, hopefully not affect too much.

    Just to double confirm, will all XC HSTs be completely gone after this May timetable change?

    Short journeys where advance fares are available

    This is quite a good fare strategy to attract people using the railway locally and staying away from the roads from my point of view. As a great westerner, I wish we can have this kind of little local fares. Usually it works out cheaper with the next available Advance ticket destination for...

    £2 Price Cap on fares in England - Now extended beyond October 2023

    Can anyone figure out the longest routes under the £2 cap fare? I can think of Lake District routes.

    XC Seat Selection

    There is quite a downgrade to the new XC website booking system that gives me a bad seat without matching my entered seating preferences. It becomes even worse with multiple passengers that splits people into different rows. I remember that the old booking system can select any unreserved seats...

    Rail strikes discussion

    Is rail strike entitled to any delay repay? I mean more than 50% of the journey is likely to entitle to more than 30 minutes delay
