    Moreton in Marsh to Birmingham- no fares available

    The problem is that this journey is for work so can only be booked through the corporate booking system. It just says no fares available so there is no way to actually buy a through ticket. It looks like the only tickets it is offering are the much more expensive “via Oxford” fares with a...

    Moreton in Marsh to Birmingham- no fares available

    My colleague was trying to book tickets from Moreton in Marsh to Birmingham New Street via the corporate booking site. It shows no fares available alll day so would not offer any trains to book.

    Super off peak return validity Letchworth to Leamington Spa

    That unpublished restriction is new, as I was able to show itineraries and book one for earlier departures for travel last month. I booked on the LNER app as I had some credit on my account but NRE were also showing the same itinerary at the time. Noe of the sites will show earlier departures now.

    Buying paper tickets on the underground

    We have to book travel and hotels etc via the corporate travel agent. For train tickets it currently issues a TOD code to collect from a TVM at a station. There used to be a ticket printer at reception for a couple of the main sites so we could collect tickets from the office but this option was...

    National Routeing Guide update

    I know in the past the TVMs at some GN stations would by default offer the London Terminals fare even if the selected destination is London Blackfriars or London Bridge. The London Thameslink fare was also listed as a higher price option but most people would just select the default cheapest...
