Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thanks to all who run and contribute to the RailUK Forum.

We did use group travel on a pre-agreed deal when it was available on trips from Liverpool Street, quite often the group was up to 50. From memory we were never asked re numbers on the day as I would speak to the inspector, having been the custodian of the master ticket . All the group had their...

Thanks Island and BB21 for replies. On the outbound we always sat in a group but coming back on the two carriage trains from Norwich it was quite difficult as it got very crowded after the game. This, the additional time it took, plus delays in the outbound which caused the connection at...

Interesting thread, thanks to all who have contributed. A few years ago when I helped to book trains to Norwich for the football supporters club I was the travel officer for we used to use the KingsX / Cambridge / Norwich route when there were rail replacement buses on the Liverpool Street...

As far as I am aware we are currently in the 3 week window where the Sky, ESPN, and the local Police select the games that are to be televised, or moved for other reasons. This process is due to finish on Thursday 5th July 2012 with the confirmed fixtures, up until the end of November, released...

Thanks for the reply. I understand that my work pal (who is also called Tim but not me, honest!) walked through behind a lady wheeling a suitcase, didn't jump or force the barrier etc.

That was a quick reply, not sure my pal will be too impressed! Thanks, Tim

Quick bit of help if that's ok with everyone. A work pal travels each day from Fareham to Waterloo. He’s held an annual season ticket gold card for years. At Waterloo this morning there was a queue at the barriers so he followed a lady though with a case and didn’t put his ticket through the...

My local station is Kenton and located on a Bridge on the Kenton Road. Harrow on the Hill is a mile away and Kingsbury a couple of miles in the other direction. It has a small ticket office and a couple of barriers but that's about it. It's under five minutes walk to Northwick Park Station and...

When I purchased I did try on the NXEA site a couple of times but I’m sure I received a message about not being able to reserve seats. I have the reservation coupons, one for each block of eight seats I bought. On the coupon the coach says * and there are another load of ****’s for the seat...

Hello, My spare time job is looking after the travel between London and Norwich for supporters of Norwich City FC who are based in and around the Capital. This involves buying train tickets to/from Norwich for us all for match days. A week or so ago there were some deals on advance tickets...

My Oyster card is one of the ones issued with a separate photocard, and the number is faded so badly I can't work out exactly what it is, maybe less than 10,000. It might have been issued around 2003, not really quite sure. No problems so far.

My daughter and I had a sort of similar situation at Birmingham New Street a couple of years ago. We had been to Walsall for the football to see Norwich play and the match was called off at 2.15pm due to a frozen pitch. We had tickets back to Euston on a train around 6.00pm, leaving plenty of...

Thanks to all for prompt replies. I thought it might be too good to be true, but worth investigating if there was a chance of saving the price of a pint per person. After the first couple of replies I looked and found this on the www. I presume that the tickets we were planning to buy was...

Hello, I’m looking to travel from London Kings Cross to Norwich on Sunday 11th September with a group of pals. We’re not using the Liverpool Street line due to engineering works. Using Group Save Four (GS4) tickets looks to be the cheapest method, and by splitting the journey at Cambridge...

There's a quote in today's Telegraph from a "City Analyst" who pointed out that both franchises (NXEA + 1 other) were pivotal to the success of the London 2012 Olympics and that there could be a case for leaving them with "the devil you know". His gut feel is they will be left in situ until the...
