Evening, I'm thinking of having a day in the Republic of Ireland in August, I've never been there before, would be there for most of a day, arriving at Dublin at 05:45 off the ferry, then back across the water, from Dublin, in the evening, my main aim will probably be photography, but also...

Been pondering this since an experience a while back: If a London bus is stopped short of its intended destination do you have to tap in your oyster again on the next bus (thereby meaning you pay twice for the inconvenience), or is there some kind of easement? I've heard of some kind of...

Evening, hope the festive period has been kind to you all. I'm doing some research ahead of a planned trip, but I've hit something of a sticking point. I'm looking at Edinburgh to Glenrothes with Thornton fares, but all NRE seems to offer is a £10.25 anytime fare (I have a 16-25 railcard). Is...

Hi, I'd like some advice about the following situation, I'm not sure whether I'm at fault, or the railway is! Today I went to the ticket office at Exeter St Davids to purchase some tickets for a Tiverton to Swindon journey on 9th May... I requested travelling on the 10:37 XC service from...

First Great Western have very generously offered the Swindon Panel Preservation Society a cab ride, which the SPS are offering in an auction, to raise funds for the panel move, that will hopefully; happen later this year! Auction details here...

I'm planning an itinerary for a Thames Branches Day Ranger, and I've come across something of an anomaly; the NRE rovers and rangers section says that FGW are the only participating TOC, despite this the NRE validity map suggests the ticket is apparently valid to Winnersh (although only to...

Hi, this is possibly a pretty dumb question, but I'd just like some clarification.. Can you buy an off peak day Travelcard (Z1-6) with a 16-25 railcard discount from a DLR TVM? If it matters, the station would be Royal Victoria or Custom House. Thanks in advance, Tim

On National Express coaches do you get allocated with a specific seat, or is it just a case of take any seat that's free? Having not travelled with National Express for a long time (since I was a small child), I have no idea! :lol: Thanks in advance. Tim PS: If it's operator specific...

Hi, a friend is after some advice for the cheapest way to do London to Colwyn Bay tomorrow (05/04/14), they are railway savvy, so splits and esoteric combinations are okay. Any ideas? Cheers in advance.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for decent free tablet games, they need to work without an internet connection (for long train journeys with no WiFi), and preferably not massive file sizes, although the last requirement isn't crucial. I'm willing to try most games, but...
