Hi all - asking on behalf of a relative They have an Off Peak Return from Bexhill to London (outward portion used yesterday early evening) Context is then travelled onwards to Scotland on separate ticket, returning on Caledonian Sleeper arrival Euston c07.30 tomorrow (Friday) I believe the...

I wondered if any forum users had info that may help with this thread where the poster is enquiring about a weekday departure from Hull in the late 1980s? https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/help-with-a-memory.255359/ I was assuming a WTT may give a good idea of the info being asked for. I...

Hi all - anyone know how to do this - i can't find info on their website ref Appeals and the auto reply they sent me rejecting my claim only has an option for re-submitting the claim on the basis I submitted the wrong train info (I didn't). Tried to claim for part of a longer journey (thus...

Hi - would welcome info from forum members who know the answer on this. I have the unused Return portion of a Super Off Peak Return Nottingham to Poole via London that I have not yet used. It's within validity date (I took the train south to Poole, picked up a car, drove north). I want to use...

Hi all - seems a daft question but the info on various ferry websites gives conflicting info about which of the stations in Newhaven (Town or Harbour) is actually closest to the ferry terminal in Newhaven. So I assumed people on here will actually know for real! The basic info would help, but...

I noted this in last weeks update from the European Rail Timetable publishers. Not sure it has been flagged on Railforums. Apols if I am posting something that has already been mentioned. Although I did not do a footplate experience, a trip to Wolsztyn a few years ago was one of the most...

Advice / info gratefully received - tho I suspect the answer is that I should have done this in a different way to start off with. Travel is a date in August from southern Germany to Paris. I booked via the DB website (which I'd not used much before) and got a good value price for a through...

I'd be interested in people's views on the choice I should make. I have to admit that the ability to choose a Mk4 set may well swing it - but I am considering a Weekend First upgrade for a trip from Newark or Grantham to Kings Cross. I think I am correct to say that this is a rather steep for...

Hi any advice or knowledge appreciated. I'm planning an XC HST trip, Midlands to Plymouth day return. Due to risk issues of the HST(s) not running I'd buy tickets on the day (eg Off Peak or Day Returns), and then seek to upgrade to 1st class using Weekend First I can see Weekend First on...

mods note - split from this thread Presume EMR could alter the morning loadings by changing their definitions of peak / off peak or releasing more cheap advance tickets at what were traditional commuter times. But I have certainly experience over crowded MML trains north of the Thameslink /...

Apols if this is elsewhere - if so please move this post - but interesting to note Northern are currently doing a short on line survey about fare evasion - from an e-mail sent to me: SEE LINK IN POST #5 One question relates to the case of naming and shaming children at schools with frequent...

Hi - thread title says it all really. EMR website no longer seems to mention it (but does now have a dedicated page with some fair old detail on setfrog upgrade bidding) - all very well but I'm not bothered with that (no smart phone) so just want to use good old fashioned Weekend First. I...

Hi all - does anyone know if Amtrak still publish the route guides that I recall they once did (leaflet type thing telling you what you could see through the window on a route by route basis - tho possibly not for all routes)? It would be one for the north east corridor Washington to New York...

Hi - I'm not too familiar with Duo tickets but was considering one for a trip on bank holiday monday. BR fares lists a Duo fare for my chosen route but seems not valid before 09.30am (or 16.01 to 17.59 hours) and it does not state if this is Mon-Fri restriction. So my question is - is this a...

Hi all I'm looking for a good book on the Merchant Navy class as a gift for my dad. A friend suggested this as linked below, but the friend had not actually seen the book, just noticed it in a list of publications...

Hi - just helping a relative with a D-R claim. They did not know D-R existed before I advised them to claim, and thus on the delayed journey let the ticket get swallowed up by the gateline barrier. So the journey was on a Off Peak Rtn ticket - paper , and the delay on the return leg (13 mins...
