    Xmas peak fares / restriction easements

    thanks - yes, seat reservation not important to me - so I will just buy the off peak day return and then travel on any Virgin Train. Excellent.

    Xmas peak fares / restriction easements

    Hi all - a few of the TOCs seem to have posted on their website words like "Peak fares aren’t very festive, so we’re getting rid of them for the whole holiday period." Does that mean that a off peak day return is available for use before 9.30am between Xmas and New Year? The online booking...

    Glasgow H1 restriction

    Hello - my wife is heading to Stirling tomorrow - from our local station Hyndland (north clyde electric). using BRFares.com, I can see that off peak day return Glasgow to Stirling is valid after 0915 - with no evening peak restriction. I can also see that off peak day return Hyndland to...

    yes, that's what Caledonian sleeper said to me - 56 minutes. So near, yet so far!!

    Delay repay query

    ok, thanks - to be honest though Caledonian Sleepers seem unconcerned about the remainder of my journey because of the ticket type I had (anytime single) and because it was a separate ticket.

    Delay repay query

    Hi - is that 60 mins late vs 0718 working timetable or 0722 public timetable?

    Delay repay query

    Thanks to all. Date of travel was 11 July, arriving in Glasgow 12 July. Destination station was Hyndland, Glasgow Combination of tickets. Sleeper berth ticket Euston to Glasgow. Then anytime single Glasgow to Hyndland. Ah yes, 15 mins rule - understood - yes that may undermine this claim.

    Delay repay query

    Hi all I'm in dispute with Caledonian Sleeper around delay repay. Last week their service was 56 minutes late into Glasgow. My final destination was a smaller station north of Glasgow which the sleeper doesn't serve and doesn't sell through tickets to. So I had an anytime single booked at the...

    Rail ticket booking engine stuck?

    Ok, that's fair enough. Thank you. It just seems odd that if there are no seats left to be sold that the booking engine doesn't only show the full price off peak / standard single/ return​ ticket prices But is still trying to sell advance fares which can't be booked. Will just use the car...

    Rail ticket booking engine stuck?

    Yes, prevents you booking. It is an advance fare so wants to allocate seats. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    ScotRail Kids go free query

    Hi - my wife needs to pick the kids up in Edinburgh next week. We live in Glasgow. Can she legitimately buy a 'kids go free' offpeak return from Glasgow to Edinburgh but only have the kids with her on the return trip. There fare is the same as an adult off peak return but the advantage is...

    Glasgow - Southampton

    Hi again I've noticed I can save on the ferry to Isle of Wight by booking my off peak return to East Cowes. Except the systems won't offer me the 14.00 Glasgow Central to Wolverhampton train doing this (M-F). Just trains around 12 noon then 1600. Does anyone know a trick to force one of the...

    Glasgow - Southampton

    Thank you for that quick reply. This sounds very encouraging! Do I need to carry anything to prove I am valid on Day 2? I ask because I've seen notes that say "...if the journey could not be completed it can be continued the next day." My journey could be continued but I'm choosing not...

    Glasgow - Southampton

    hi everyone I'm taking the family to Southampton later this summer. We live in Glasgow. Ideally because of the long journey time for the kids I'd split the journey overnight in Wolverhampton however I don't think my off-peak return would be valid the next day. So the ideal is 14.00...
