    Trainline.com - release of customer data to TOCs

    After reading a few threads about trainline.com releasing customer data to a TOC, where do they stand in terms of data protection? I can understand them having to co-operate with the police, but to a TOC?

    PDFs and how they work.

    Peterborough to Kings Cross

    Can someone kindly confirm if break of journey is allowed in either direction on a FCC only Super Off-peak day return on Saturdays. If BOJ is allowed, can you have multiple BOJ on that leg of the journey? Cheers.

    Engineering works between Arundel and Horsham tonight

    Just wondered if my southern daysave would be valid Portsmouth to London on the faster south western services this evening as the slower route is blocked. Only alternative is to travel via Brighton which is considerably slower.

    Saturday 25 February, going to see Leeds play at Fratton Park. Looking at FCC only day return coupled with a Southern Daysave or All Network Downlander. (Will probably return as far as PBO only as the last SPA train will have gone.) Can anyone beat this? No railcards, and no advance singles...

    This date on the East Coast Engineering Alterations page brings up a .pdf file showing different train times from those given using the search facility. I'm booked on the southbound 17.05 from Leeds, is the .pdf file wrong?

    Spalding [SPA] to Lincoln [LCN] via Peterborough [PBO] and Newark

    A previous thread claimed that returning from Lincoln to Spalding (via Newark and Peterborough) after the last direct train had left wasn't allowed. So, in order to come back later in the evening I thought this was the way to proceed: Spalding to Newark Stations Off Peak Day Return (CDR)...

    Spalding [SPA] to Burnley Man Rd [BYM] 19 Nov

    Trying to organise tickets for the match, but no afternoon return advance fares showing for this journey. I checked in my lunch hour within 2 hours of them being released last Thursday but nothing. Can't believe they sold out within a few hours, is it possible no allocation of advance fares...
