Good evening, I was travelling from Manchester to Sheffield last Sunday 30th October and planned on taking the 1045 Northern stopper service. The ticket was the return portion of a ticket purchased on the 8th October. When I arrived at MAN the 1045 was showing as cancelled on the boards and I...

For those interested in the Spanish lifestyle at the moment, here is what its like in the Basque region in the north of the country. Masks are mandatory everywhere when you're in public or a building that is open to the public regardless of distance We're not allowed to leave our towns except...

First of all, I appreciate how fortunate I am to be entitled to use one of these tickets due to being a resident of Spain. Last week, I ordered a pass from the Britrail.net website. On the website shipping page it states that Airmail delivery is available for €5, however on checkout only...

Thanks for all the advice! I've since found out its shaves more off the cost to return via Swindon. I can also use oyster to cross London

Planning to visit a few people next week round the South West and trying to come up with the cheapest option for the following: Flitwick to Bournemouth - Monday 12th Bournemouth to Yeovil Junction - Tuesday 13th Yeovil Junction to Plymouth - Thurday 15th Plymouth to Flitwick - Saturday 17th So...

I had a similar issue a few weeks back in that I needed a day single excessed to a period return (though not the over distance aspect). I tried 3 main stations in London, all of them refused to sell it either because they weren't allowed to, it wasn't possible, or they didn't know how to. In the...

Because I was originally supposed to be getting a lift the majority of the way home with a colleague who fell sick. Bought the day before for ease, and regardless, the same ticket would have been bought on the day - my plans didn't change until I was on the train... You'd assume RPI's would...

There was no open ticket office at the time I travelled from my origin (northern TL route), but even so, it seems unlikely that somebody would need one before a journey starts. Both the RPI's seemed happy to issue it and the one who did seemed like he'd done it many times before considering...

Just wondered what peoples opinions are on this experience yesterday... Yesterday, I held an anytime single, but about 20 mins into my journey I found out that I needed to stay overnight and would have to return the following morning by train - as such I attempted to get an excess to an...

I'm trying to come up with the cheapest walk-up option to travel from Flitwick to Templecombe on Tuesday (22nd April), then Templecombe to Hereford on Friday 25th, and finally Hereford to Flitwick (or Milton Keynes if cheaper) on the Sunday 27th. I have a 16-25 railcard and wondered if there...

Thanks for the advice :) I'll wait until next week before persuing it further as that will be 2 weeks since my last email and over 5 since the original letter.

Hello, On 4th August I was due to travel from Lesce Bled to Geneva via Villach, Salzburg and Zurich, I was travelling on an Interrail pass. My train from Villach left 20 minutes early, so I missed it (according to staff at Villach this was due to a timetabling error because of engineering...

Groupsave is definitely available on Super Off-Peak Travelcards from FCC. I used one myself with Groupsave 4 last weekend. http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/tickets-and-fares/off-peak-tickets/super-off-peak/

I'm using the overnight ferry from Dublin next month so have to travel in the UK on the day after the one dated on my ticket. I look forward to the reaction of the FCC gateline staff and RPI's... its a handwritten ticket as well! :D

I've been told that the Irish rail staff are more knowlegable about the UK tickets then the UK staff are of the Irish tickets!

Just to say that I successfully bought the outward tickets from my small local FCC ticket office - it took the booking clerk a while but she didn't give up, so well done FCC :D I bought the return tickets from Irish Ferries from Carlow (slight change of plan) through to Flitwick and they are...

Thanks for the replies! I will try and buy the outward journey from Flitwick - they have never let me down yet when buying 'out of the norm' tickets! And I will probably do as you suggest and buy the return when I'm out their because it would give me the flexibility of changing my date of...

Hi, I was told that there was a way of getting through tickets from stations in the UK to stations in Ireland. I did a search for this and came through to the Raileasy website, but don't seem to be able to find any fares. The journeys which I am trying to find are Flitwick to Cork on...

Yes, I did this on Wednesday at the box office next to St James' Park. Issued with no hesitation at all :)

Thanks, didn't notice the super off peak! Thats absolutely perfect!
