    Train operator Southeastern will be adding a schedule of late night trains running from Margate from June – September on Friday and Saturday nights as part of their Summer timetable plan. Dreamland in Margate and Southeastern has worked together to develop the plan which will allow concert...

    Only for off-peak day returns towards London (not the reverse) was what I found looking from Cambridge

    Experiences with Dover-Calais ferry

    Used to do Calais as a foot passenger regularly pre-Covid and it's a lovely little day trip. Try the Lace Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, go up the town hall belfry, have lunch in the town square, and see the white cliffs from the other side (on a clear day)!

    P&O Ferries to permanently stop accepting foot passengers on their Dover to Calais route.

    It seems there are far fewer sailings available for foot passengers however - previously you could get them all day between approx. 08:00-20:00, whereas now you seem to be limited to a maximum of three sailings each way (and it seems like less outside of spring/summer). Still, it's better than...

    Calais Day Trip

    The latest update from Southeastern (on 23rd August): "I understand from your comments that you would also like to know if the SailRail tickets to Calais will be re-instated. I've contacted our Fares Team and they've advised that unfortunately, it’s highly unlikely that these tickets will be...

    Calais day tripper

    There were three bus services very early morning between Dover Priory and the Eastern Docks (I'm assuming they were aimed at people working at the port, but used it myself using sail-rail in Feb 2020). Equally, before the pandemic, there were summer-only free(?) buses between the Port of Calais...

    Missing fare/route Tilbury Town (or Tilbury Town/Riverside) - Southminster

    I can't buy a ticket from Gillingham - Southminster (route: Tilbury-Gravesend ferry) even though a fare exists. This is where I want to travel. I can buy a ticket from Gillingham - Southend on GWR mixing deck. I can also buy a ticket from Gillingham - Southend Airport (both route...

    Missing fare/route Tilbury Town (or Tilbury Town/Riverside) - Southminster

    This fare seems to be missing. Oddly enough, there are fares available from East Tilbury and Grays (the adjoining stations to Tilbury Town) to Southminster. The problem comes because I want to take a journey from Gillingham (Kent) or another station on the North Kent line, to Southminster...

    Season ticket refund

    Annoyingly, they seem to have removed it (it was specifically mentioned in the update yesterday). Perhaps there wasn't agreement from all TOCs?

    Season ticket refund

    National Rail Enquiries now say plans are to waive the admin fee for season tickets refunds, due to coronavirus.

    TOC plans regarding advance tickets if destinations become no-go (Coronavirus)?

    Haven't seen this latest update posted, but National Rail Enquiries now says:
