I recently used crossrail with contactless from Reading, which was remarkably cost effective compared to when I used to commute from Twyford to West London. When trying to work out how much it was going to cost though I used the TFL Single Fare Finder, which worked fine. But then I tried to...

A poster on a local facebook group, who claims they are an "On-Train Conductor at Transport for Wales Trafnidiaeth Cymru", has stated I would hope that would (assuming the poster isn't lying about their work) count as a defence to bylaw 18 "an authorised person gave him permission to travel...

On an avanti train heading north to Preston. Some time ago, between the various lockdowns there was a sign advertising a great new feature - you could buy from the shop on your phone and have it delivered. Great stuff, and a good reason to buy the overpriced stuff. When connecting to wifi on...

A recent twitter thread had me thinking about fares There's a flexible Off Peak return from Manchester to London for £45 return, restriction code JM. Booking this fare seems rather tricky, especially if you want to generate an itinerary Are there any ticket sites that allow you put the...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/penalties-after-railcards-expire.217025/ Indeed, that's certainly the sensible choice if you want to avoid byzantian restrictions and ridiculous penalities, the railway can be a very customer hostile organisation with an asymetric...

Would York to Dorking be valid via Victoria, Bromley South, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Redhill and Deepdene? I.e. 0625 from Victoria, first stop Bromley South. Yes I'm being slightly facetious, just wanted to check my understanding of routing - York to Dorking is etiher valid via Cross Country...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/50-60-of-services-to-be-cut-due-to-impact-of-covid.212861 Does that apply for all businesses? Thinking of the long distance WCML I can't think of any reason for Avanti to run any more than 1tph...

There's been talk in the local press of reopening Beeston + Tarporley, which seems a little crazy to me given how far it is from the local villages. However with good car parking it could work as a park and ride, for Chester (shame the station is so far out) and to connect to HS2 at Crewe...

https://twitter.com/BTPCheshire/status/1277972609267675137 Due to an incident at the Alsager level crossing. The level crossing is out of use for the next 12 weeks. Audley road is closed to traffic and pedestrians and a diversion is in place. Looks like they initially were operating the...

According to the mother of an east coast driver, presumably an expert. http://m.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/140mph-virgin-train-set-for-hertfordshire-lines-is-dangerous-says-the-mother-of-one-of-the-drivers/story-30241431-detail/story.html And it goes on. Smells of a virgin PR plant to me.

When I travel into Manchester, from Nantwich, I usually get the lovely ATW trains from Hereford or HOWL direct to Piccadilly. This line allows me to stream radio 4 for the whole trip, and get decent internet connectivity, via my vodafone mobile phone. Coverage at Picadilly is equally...

If you have an anytime single from London to Crewe - £130.50 - but miss the 1840, you're stuck on a later train. If you want a seat this is typically after 2000. There is a fairly new "first off peak single" valid on virgin for £110, valid at 1900 onwards. Can you simply board the 1900 with...

I arrived at Nantwich this morning to collect a ticket for the 0815 to Manchester, the sole machine on the platform was broken, and there didn't appear to be a machine on the other one. There were a dozen or so people boarding. Nantwich advertises ticket collection: Boarded the...
