Hi all, This weekend, i'm making a quick trip to the South of France, flying out of Gatwick on Friday morning (travelling to a hotel in Croydon on Thursday evening), back into Heathrow on Monday evening, and am looking for the cheapest way to get to and from those airports from my home in...

Hi everyone, Man City v Arsenal in the FA Cup has been confirmed as a 8pm kick off two weeks tonight, and I am looking to be part of the nearly 8000 Arsenal fans that will make the trip up to the Etihad Stadium for the game. I'll be travelling from Basingstoke, and current thinking is to get a...

Hi all, I am travelling from Basingstoke to Gatwick early tomorrow morning, and flying back into Heathrow on Sunday afternoon. I intend to get an off peak return from Basingstoke to Clapham, with Network Railcard discount, priced at £23, and do the rest of the journey using contactless travel...

Hi all, I'm planning to travel from Basingstoke to Guildford tomorrow and I need to arrive before 11am. I've noticed that instead of paying for a Off Peak Day Return costing £20, I can get an Off Peak Day Return to Ash costing £12.60 and 'break my journey' at Guildford. It looks like it's fine...

Hi all, With the government on the verge of announcing a five day break where up to three households can meet indoors between the 23rd and 27th of December, I am now looking to organised and book my travel to meet my parents and brother. I am now based in Basingstoke, and will need to travel to...

Hi all, The other day, my national rail wallet containing my annual gold card fell out of my pocket on my daily commute between Maidenhead and Slough. When I got to the barriers at Slough, I got a penalty fare of £20. The wallet was later found on the train at Paddington, and I got it back...

Hi all, Against my better judgement, but also because it's very tricky to get away tickets in the UK, I have decided to go to Arsenal's FA Cup tie in Blackpool next Saturday, travelling from Maidenhead. On the way up, I have split my tickets, first Maidenhead-Banbury, then Banbury-Coventry and...

Hi all, I've managed to get myself a ticket for Swansea v Arsenal in the away end on Tuesday 30th Jan. But having just missed out on the current GWR sale and £12 single tickets, I am struggling to get there relatively cheaply. Ideally I'd like to get to Swansea at around 5pm, returning to...

Hi all, I'm going to be doing a last minute trip down to Exeter the weekend after next for the Premiership Rugby semi final. Normally I travel from Reading to Digby & Sowton via Taunton on Advance tickets, but i'm going to go to Pinhoe this time as its a lot cheaper, especially on a Network...

Hi all, I'm looking at meeting a couple of friends from the Midlands in London in a couple of weeks. One of them will be travelling from Lichfield Trent Valley. Given the short notice nature of the meet up, I've suggested that she buy a Super Off Peak Travelcard (Virgin Trains Only) at...

Hi all, A friend of mine had a advance ticket from Reading to Chesterfield, travelling via London. Unfortunately, he missed his connection due to a signal failure, and ended up arriving 30 minutes late. Can he claim for a delay from TfL? Thanks, Alex

Hi All, Looking to travel from Reading to East Croydon on Saturday 26th, coming back the next day. Is there any way through splitting where I can pay less than the £21.45 off peak return (with r/card). I also have an Oyster Card (also with railcard attached), am happy to travel any reasonable...

Dear All, Wonder if people can do any better. I need to get from Exeter St Davids to Sheffield on the 2nd October , preferably after 12pm, on any route. Here my two best so far: EXD-Bristol Parkway [BPW] @ 13:24 = £5.30 (14:39) BPW-Birmingham New Street [BHM] @ 14:40 = £9.55 (15:56)...

Dear All, Just a quick question, does anyone know how many coaches this service is running at present? 4? 5? or maybe even a Double Voyager! Thanks, Sir Broccoli

Dear All, Wondering if anyone can help me, as i'm struggling. Two of my friends want to travel from Reading to Barrow-in-Furness, leaving this Friday after 12, and coming back on Sunday around the same time. Both have 16-25 railcards. At the moment, i can only get the £64.60 Off Peak...

This afternoon, the first of five one day internationals between England and Australia will be taking place at the Rose Bowl, near Southampton. I am travelling from Reading to watch this game, and was just wondering whether or not South West Trains or Crosscountry will be operating any extra...
