    Avanti Conductor/TM Familiarity with NR C.O.T 14.3

    Hi all. I will be travelling to London for the day in the near future, due to travelling from and returning to different destinations, the cheapest way I have found to do this seems to be to split using a West Midlands Day Ranger. The tickets I intend to use are as follows: West Midlands Day...

    Change of Route excess mid journey

    I assume this is not permitted, but when traveling between stations with two different route options, would you be able to change your route mid-way through your journey if you were still on both routes. IE, for lots of cross country flows with a via London route, would you be able to travel...

    Trivia: Request stops as Termini

    In West Wales, Clarbeston Road is a request stop station, however, one morning train from Fishguard terminates there and returns back to Fishguard where it forms a Cardiff service. Are there any other examples of a station where some or all other trains call only on request being used as a...

    Best Option for peak London Daytrip

    Hi all, this has probably been posted many times before, but I am wondering what the best option is for a Daytrip around London Z1-6 (and how much extra it would cost for Z7-9 to be included). I will be arriving off the Highland Caledonian Sleeper (approx 8am), so well before the off peak cap...

    Should there be provision to operate trains DOO as a last resort?

    Recently, I boarded a train that had run its previous working empty, presumably because of a lack of guard. Whilst I believe that in an ideal world, the train would run with staff, surely a train that was DOO running would be better then no train at all. So my question is, would it be viable...

    (Hypothetical) Circular journey delayed to the extent return is missed

    Purely a hypothetical question, but assuming I had return tickets from X to Y, but was delayed extensively enough on the outbound to miss my intended return trip, would I be entitled to delay repay for both the outbound and return (presumably I would, with the caveat I would have to take the...

    Practicalities of a misplaced railcard

    Today, I misplaced my railcard after arriving at my destination (significantly far from home). I have tried unsuccessfully to retrieve it, and think it was likely dropped at the station, however, I was informed the lost property office was closed and I would have to come back tomorrow. I am...

    Rights regarding an inferred break of journey which could not have occurred

    Assuming I (hypothetically) held an anytime day single from Flint to Crewe, would I be able to start short from Shotton on the 05:22 service. Obviously, in practice it would be impossible for be to actually have come from Flint and broken my journey at Shotton, however, the rules still infer the...

    Multiple Advances via tube

    Hi. I'm intending to travel to/from Chester and Newbury; I am using a 16-25 railcard. My intended itinerary is as follows. Sunday 21st July: 17:35-17:53 (Chester-Crewe, offpeak return (£11.50)) 18:16-20:32 (Crewe- London Euston, advance (£5.95!)) And, the part I am worried about, tube to...
