Heading for the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway - should be running later in the month assuming there is a bit of rain!

On Saturday the branch gets 7 car Turbos running in and out of the up relief at Twyford. Wargrave will be served by a bus all day and some southbound services will run non-stop (all northbound services have to stop at Shiplake because the way the level crossing is set up). There is even a...

So proud of our little line last weekend. We officially opened the Maidenhead canopy at the new Wallingford Station on Friday 25th with 'Railway Royalty' including Sir Peter Hendy, Tim Dunn, Lady McAlpine, Mark Hopwood, Lord Bradshaw and of course many of our amazing volunteers! We've still got...

Dwell times are a concern with such tight turnarounds hat the 30 minute frequency demands. Also I believe there is an agreement in place that means drivers only do a certain number of round trips in a row on the branch. Would this be the case for guards as well? This type of agreement would make...

I live next to and am a regular user of the Henley branch and I'm glad these units are being installed with cameras to allow continued DOO operations. The 30 minute frequency service was only relatively recently introduced and I'm worried that any increase in operating cost (guards) might tip...

I know it's against the spirit, but times are tough. What sort of commitment would you have to realistically make in the reserves to qualify for one of these railcards? Third off rail fares for the 30 years left of my working life is potentially quite worthwhile!

Where are the details of the time restriction changes for Twyford, Maidenhead and Slough please. Also will they affect the branches?

I have held a part time Exeter St David - Central season ticket for the past couple of years for the sole purpose of getting a gold card. No problem getting it issued on gold card stock at Waterloo station, but last year I got taken aside and questioned by an undercover RPI who thought it was an...

So to clarify you can travel Reading - Paddington on a fast train before 0630 for £10.60? If so, I can see lots of people travelling a bit earlier into town and saving quite a fair bit of money!

Hello, It seems GWR are introducing more evening peak restrictions from the December timetable change. Looking at the Henley branch, most fast Paddington-Twyford services between 4-6.45pm will need an 'Anytime' ticket. Just looking into how much it would cost to excess a £17.70 Off Peak Day...

I've got a part-time Exeter Central - Exeter St David's season (5 out of 7 days) and had no problems all year getting discounts or applied to my Oyster. Currently £144

The week long version of this looks like great value. Can't seem to find any time restrictions though? Assume it isn't valid on peak services?

Chiltern now seems to be 3.5% on Quidco. How much joy are people having with this though? It never seems to track for me and I end up having to put a manual claim in. Am I right in thinking I should be getting cashback even for tickets which don't involve travel on a Chiltern train?

Gold card benefits apply to my Oyster at all times, and I've not had any issues with purchasing and using paper tickets either.

I have the exact same ticket - I bought it from SWR at Putney station and had no problems getting it printed on Gold Card stock. The LU member of staff at Ealing Common also had no qualms adding the railcard discount to my Oyster. I didn't know about the additional Devon and Cornwall gold card...

Hello, I would like to travel to Darlington from Norwood Junction on Monday 30th July around lunchtime. Just wondering if there are any splits that can be done to improve on the Super Off Peak Single fare of £68.70? Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I want to go for a trip on the Chiltern bubblecar later this week and I just want to check the tickets I'm planning to buy won't give me any hassle! I work in London and live in Twyford. After work on Wednesday I'm planning to go to Princess Risborough from Marylebone, then go for a...

Interesting - would that also qualify for the 6 free SWT days? Think I'd still stick with the Ryde one - I like the fact that I'm supporting (in a very small way) one of the most under threat parts of the network.

I assume Ryde St Johns - Ryde Esplanade is still the best option if you want to get the 6 free SWT tickets a year? It is currently £172 going up to £176. I have had one of these for a few years thanks to this forum!

Quick query regarding ticket validity. Can I catch a Non-stop Taunton - Reading service with the following ticket combination? Return portion of a Bath - Taunton Off Peak Return Outward portion of a Westbury - Theale Super Off Peak return Thames Rover 7 day Hoping to get the 1830...
