Can anyone think of a better way than 2 singles for this journey. Out from Plumstead to Dorking. Back from Caterham to Plumstead. A split ticket at Norwood junction would be possible but would resrtict route options and trains to those that call.

I'm fairly confident on this but just would like a 2nd opinion. As GTR seems to feature a lot in disputes and prosecutions! Return leg off peak return Plumstead to Brighton. Am I correct in saying I can start short at Hove and that this would be permitted as its within 3 miles of shortest...

I'm leading a group in the coming months that will be travelling from London (some will use Charing Cross, some will use St Pancras on HS1 tickets) to Wye and then walking to Folkestone West where they return to London. I'm planning to suggest to them a return to Folkestone Central/West plus a...

I'm considering doing a break of journey at Clapham Junction on a Cranbrook to Plumstead ticket. Off-peak period return. There's no restriction code issue with break of journey that I can see. However, I've heard from people that there's been a lot of issues here - anyone got any recent positive...

This Saturday advance single Dover to Plumstead (never had an advance on Southeastern before!) Dover Priory 21.18 Rainham (Kent) 22.24 Rainham (Kent) 22.28 (platform 1 to platform 0 - no need to cross bridge) Gravesend 22.57 Gravesend 23.04 (platform 1 to platform 0 - got to cross bridge this...

Saturday night planning to get the 22.50 from Dorchester West to Weymouth - with the insurance option of the 23.11 from Dorchester South if needed. Noticed no ticketing facilities shown on National Rail website at West. Noticed on BR Fares the ticket is from Dorchester South/West. If I have time...

Good morning. I've not been around so much due to personal issues, but I'm glad these are improving and I hope to see forum members next year. May I please ask one question. I've seen on Journey Check that the 21.03 Paddington to Exeter St Davids is cancelled tonight. This appears to be the...

Good morning. I just travelled back to London from Manchester last night and the train I took 19.55 went via Wilmslow and Crewe. Some 20 years ago, I was on a train that did this, although this was having been reversed back from Macclesfield, brought back into Piccadilly for restocking of...

I've got a return (only anytime was available) from Cranbrook to Cardiff Bay and there's no restriction code on it and BR fares also says 'no restriction'. Hopefully this means it can be used for break of journey in both directions. I'm planning to break at Cardiff Central or Queen Street...

[Please move if wrong section - I was between a few sections in choosing where to put this one!] I've got a journey coming up involving travelling via Derby on a London Terminals to Nottingham return ticket with breaks of journey at Derby in both directions. I do this journey from time to time...

Having looked at the Southeastern online timetables it seems that Swanley is being shown only with arrival times in the London-bound direction, suggesting it may be set down only. Is this the case? If so, how can one travel from Swanley to London Victoria?

Could I please ask for some fares suggestions for this one. No loopholes, but am open to using tickets cleverly within the rules, so feel free to PM if needed. I would rather avoid using advances, as there will be some timings uncertainties right up until the days due to work circumstances...

The obvious routing from London is Marylebone direct to Birmingham Moor St/Snow Hill. Can anyone see any theoretical or practical issues in terms of validity with a change at Banbury or Leamington Spa onto an XC to New Street?

Good morning everyone, I've booked Amtrak Chicago to Ann Arbor (as well as Detroit to Chicago) during my forthcoming trip to the USA. I'm an experienced UK rail user. I've never been to the USA. I just wanted to ask people if there's anything in particular I should be aware of to ensure my...

Anyone come across this or similar before? I have a (physical) network railcard bought online. My renewal email has just come through asking me to renew my senior railcard! I don't have one and am not eligible. I will need to make sure the correct type of railcard is posted out.

9.17 Plumstead to Gravesend left wrong line platform 1. Never seen this in 30 years of living here

Good afternoon, This is really a fares data query - but hopefully it's the best section for it. My parents have bought Advance tickets for the 11.20 Edinburgh to London Kings Cross on Sunday 2 July, via the LNER website. It is an LNER only advance and says on the ticket (e-ticket) - operated...

Good morning, I've searched the site and can't find anything that answers my question. If I've missed a relevant thread, feel free to signpost. I'm intending, weather permitting, to take a day trip from Plumstead to Henley on Thames on bank holiday 29 May. As I have a Network Railcard, my...

This is more about principle, but I'll give an example to help people see it in context. London Terminals to Exeter St Davids. Via Taunton is far more expensive than via Honiton. The route restriction is listed as via these stations not via a particular TOC. My understanding - but I'm not a top...

Good morning, tomorrow I'm going Plumstead to Guildford; Dorking to Plumstead. It'll be an off peak return, Network Railcard. The event organiser - not a fares expert as far as I know - suggests a return to Guildford plus an additional single Dorking to Leatherhead. I can't beat that myself - if...
