Would an All Line Rover discounted with a Two Together Railcard not be valid for travel before 9:30/10am? I am looking at doing another All line rover next year but this time in First Class. I have a YP Railcard and Standard Class PRIV, however these do not apply to First Class rovers...

Is there an image/PDF file with the Scotrail Sleeper Coach layout available anywhere? I would be interested to see it for both the Glasgow/Edinburgh and Inverness/Aberdeen/Fort William Sleeper services! As the coaches don't seem to be lettered in a logical order!

Hello, Is anyone else having issues loading the larger version of station maps and seeing pictures of certain areas of stations? I have tried on IE and Firefox latest versions and neither will load the maps, just does nothing when I click on it! Apologies if this has been discussed before...

Hello all, I'm sure this has been asked but longer ago and I'm not sure if anyone came to a consensus over whether the agreement still exists! Can "Anytime" standard class tickets be used in First Class on Virgin Trains? I remember reading about such an easement but it might be well outdated...

I am planning a trip to go to Teeside airport! Advances for the days I'm wanting to travel on have gone up quite a bit already so I am seeking advice about how to reduce the cost of an Anytime Return (SOR) between London Terminals and Teeside Airport using PRIV discount. (£73.75) I am fairly...

A bit of a different question, What exactly does an Assistant Ticket Examiner do at FGW? How does it differ from an RPI at FGW? Do they issue PF/MG11's or only help sell tickets? Thanks in advance for any insight :) PS: I have read the job description but it is quite ambiguous! --- old post...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but from 15th September LOROL ticket offices won't be issuing paper travelcards anymore for Weekly and longer period inboundary travelcards! http://s15.postimg.org/k4k5gdkkr/TFL.jpg

Could someone who's experienced it possibly explain the procedure Rail staff should undertake to get a Sleeper ticket? I have never done it before and am wondering if it can be done at a station (or does a special helpline have to be called?), if Berths can be reserved rather than just the...

I'm sure this has been covered before, however I can't seem to find a topic on it. Controversially I believe the ticket office staff at my station may be incorrectly dealing with time restricted tickets. I work on the Gateline as you may well know, and often in the morning peak you get...

Yes I got the inspiration from the same-named thread in the Railway General Discussion area! :wink: I would like to do this journey at some point in the summer months this year and I am trying to work out the best value fares. First I looked at the PRIV fares, however it is £85.50 for a STD...

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4365105 This thread on MSE is hilarious, the OP could be a troll but if they are genuine it shows exactly what's wrong with some passengers' attitudes in relation to paying for their journey! I hope everyone else finds it as amusing a...

Ok so we know that if the maximum journey time is not exceeded when using Oyster PAYG, then the fare charged depends on where one touches in and out. On "Loop" services on TOC's, such as the Kingston or Hounslow loop on South West Trains, would it theoretically be possible to: *Travel the...

I'm wondering, what is everyone's attitude to PRIV boxes? The rules are that PRIV boxes (held by Safeguarded staff only) should be dated before travel. However I get the impression that many rail staff will not make the PRIV holder date a box but will just allow them to travel "Free"...

Is this allowed? I have had instances when working of passengers with Basingstoke/Farnborough to Wimbledon/Earlsfield SDS/SDR tickets, trying to exit at Clapham Junction, the barriers reject these tickets. I pass them on to the RPI I'm working with and they always say it is fine to change at...

Evening all :) I'm looking to travel from London Terminals (Waterloo East) to Doleham in late June! I have a PRIV card and was wondering if someone can help me find a cheaper fare. The only snag is it has to be routed +HS1. Cheapest so far is the through fare of £9.45 for an Anytime Day...

Morning, I've come across some Travelcard fares on NFM when searching for PRIV fares, and it seems some rather odd options come up. For example: Brighton (5628) to London Z1-6 (0035) brings up two fares. One is the Anytime day Travelcard at £41.50 which I was expecting, but the other is a...

I'd be grateful if any routing experts could confirm whether a Slough-London Terminals Gold Card (Annual Season) is Valid via Windsor Central and Windsor ER to travel to London Waterloo. My suspicion is that it is not valid as it seems to be going a longer way round when there is a direct...

From recently looking at different stations's setup of ticket barriers, it has made me wonder why some stations seem to chose having a Gateline that consists of only 2 Wide Aisle gates (WAG)! http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/HRO/images/photos/800/o2140-0000201.jpg This is Harold...

I've done a search of the forum but couldn't find any information on this, forgive me if I missed it somewhere! What is happening to Marylebone National Rail Station? I travelled through there today and was surprised to see the Gateline has been completely removed along with the excess...
