From reading this forum over the years, it appears that the CIV ticket doesn't technically give you any protection when your train is delayed and you miss your connection. Is there any reason why you would buy one? I thought the international ticket wouldn't have peak restrictions but it appears...

I am looking at this Advance ticket from Oxford to Cambridge on 17 September. It is telling me to travel via Stansted Airport and get a bus from there. I'd rather travel via Royston and get the replacement bus there instead. Is that allowed on this ticket? Will the journey from London to...

I’m looking for a journey using the forum’s ticketing site. Is there any information on how the fee is calculated? It says that the maximum charged is 15% but I’m being shown a charge of 18% for this journey.

I know GTR used to offer free refunds on flexible tickets if you didn't collect them. But I can't find any reference to this any more. Do they still do it? If not, are there any retailers which do?

I'm going to be travelling back on the Eurostar from Rotterdam on Wednesday 15th March arriving at 21.57. I need to get back to Cambridge and am planning on getting the 22.39 from King's Cross. I'm assuming this train will be cancelled (it was last strike day) and I'll have to book a hotel. Is...

A friend of mine just had a delay repay claim that took 7 weeks to process. Is there anything to force TOCs to deal with claims more quickly?

I will be visiting the Netherlands shortly and was wondering if there's any good value way to use the trains. Lots of the tickets are quite expensive. E.g. €20.80 single for Rotterdam to Amsterdam I've looked into the season tickets that give you 40% off but you need a Dutch credit/debit card...

Several rail projects have been allocated money from the levelling up fund. Are there any further details on what is needed to enable these to happen?

I travelled recently on the line from Leeds to Skipton and at every station the train came to a stop, waited a few seconds, then one door opened for the guard to get out, then the rest of the doors opened. Why is this? It took about 20-30 seconds from the train stopping to the doors opening!

A friend of mine has a Zones 1-4 Travelcard and is travelling from Leeds to London. If he has a Leeds to Oakleigh Park Advance Single, can he stay on the LNER service all the way to Kings Cross?

Sorry if this has been asked before. If I have a ticket from Rye to Brighton, can I break my journey at Eastbourne? I can see an easement, but does that allow me to leave the station?

At the weekend I had an Advance eticket on Cross Country. I saw that there were still first class advances available for my journey, so I went to a ticket office to ask if they could upgrade the ticket for me, as I think I'd seen it mentioned on here that it was possible? I was told that I...

I already have a ticket into London Paddington and I would like to then travel to Cambridge. What ticket do I need to do this so that I am protected in case my train into Paddington is significantly delayed or cancelled and I miss my Cambridge train? Can I just use Oyster between Paddington and...

What would you do to break up the train journey between Penzance and Plymouth? Currently my ideas are visiting St. Ives and going on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway (though currently you can't join from Bodmin Parkway - hopefully they'll stop that rule when I go in October!)

I will be making my first journey with Oyster since I got a new Railcard soon, travelling from Surbiton to London Bridge. I will try and get my Railcard added at an Oyster Ticket Stop, but I am worried that the operator may not know how to do it. (Does anyone have experience in this?) What...

Does anyone know the times for this? The timetable has been removed from the Steam Dreams website.

I bought a ticket (off peak day return) from Stevenage to Peterborough, but I actually only used it to travel from Huntingdon to Peterborough (return). Would I be entitled to the difference in price between the two tickets? There were no delays or anything in the trains I used. I contacted...
