    Milton Keynes - Wembley Central (Groupsave)

    Just wondering if anyone could provide a quick bit of help/confirmation. Heading to Wembley this weekend with Everton, left it a bit late to get on the Official coaches, so looking at driving to Milton Keynes, and catching the train from there to Wembley Central. Probably not the best Park &...

    Video Games

    Got Pokemon white meself mate. I'm using the fact that I work in the local game shop as my excuse though. :wink: Saying that, I had to actually borrow a DSi from work to actually play it, but had to hand it back in today (7 day limit on borrowing) so no Pokemon till 3DS now. Was just before the...

    Windermere - Liverpool

    Thanks for checking, much appreciated. Strange thing was, it originally showed up as £12.35 so clicked on earlier trains, nothing took my fancy, so went back to later trains to book the 8pm option at £4.95, but the 7pm option changed to £3.95. Still happens now if you try it, strange one. I have...

    Windermere - Liverpool

    Evening guys. Just wondering if you could lend a bit of help, or more simply, whether I'm reading this right. All the info is in the screen shots below, but surely the price can't be right? Guessing the Virgin train is the only one i'd actually be booked on, but it all seems remarkably cheap...

    Worst towns in Britain?

    Just thought I'd throw Stockton-on-Tees into the mix. Had the misfortune of spending the last 3 years there. It's the most soul destroying place I've seen. It just seemed to have no hope, desire or motivation to better itself.

    Do people stay away from football matches when bashing?

    Was thinking of going that game myself, the London Midland offer would have made it a reasonably priced day out, but the 6am start put me off. Bad call in hindsight, Phil Nevilleeee :D Being a football fan myself, rather than a rail enthusiast (Stumbled upon this forum through split...

    Manchester - Southport via Liverpool/Chester

    Cheers for that. For some reason had it in my head to only check returns :oops:. Couple of singles work out perfectly for Manchester - Liverpool and Southport - Manchester. TPE student offer, Manchester - Liverpool £2.00, can't complain at all!

    Manchester - Southport via Liverpool/Chester

    Alright guys, just wondering if you could lend a helping hand. Only really knowing the Merseyside area, I'm a bit stumped as to what the best way to do the journey is. On the 4th Dec, will be doing Liverpool - Chester - Southport, so obviously a saveaway is probably the best bet, but couple...

    Gran turismo 5 discussion

    Just thought I'd post that this will definitely be out on the 24th, as we have a nice pile of them in our store. :D Managed to get a copy early, but won't have the chance to give it a test drive till tomorrow evening! If anyone has £130 spare, the collectors edition is a must. Absolutely...

    City Status 2012

    I'm not normally one to moan about which place is better, but my god Middlesbrough is a grim place. Having just finished at Durham uni, spent a bit of time on the Stockton campus which is bout 10 minutes from Boro and it's genuinely soul destroying, it's as if people have no hope in making...

    wrong railcard

    Mate, if you read what I actually said, I happily admit that at the end of the day, you need your railcard on you, and that genuine mistakes are not always genuine mistakes as many of the guards have pointed out on this thread. The issue, well in my perspective at least, is finding the solution...

    wrong railcard

    In respect of the original post, I do feel situations like this are a tad ‘harsh and unfair’. Not harsh and unfair as in the person should be let off for it, but potentially having to pay for a full anytime fare for a genuine mistake is ridiculous. We’ve all left something behind at some point...

    Big fare increase for Merseyrail

    The changes seem to be a bit hit and miss. Tried a variety of journeys from my local station (Fazakerley) on London Midland’s website. It would give you Off Peak Returns to Capenhurst, Bache and Chester, but no where else on the Northern/Wirral Lines. On the City Line, it showed Off Peak...

    Wheelchair passenger not allowed to board

    Just posting to say a big well done to the posters on here, excellenty rumbled the guys story. As you've probably guessed, I'm another long time lurker who has been drawn in by this topic. Always wanted to contribute sooner, but having no interest in the railways apart from getting from A to...
