I have a similar situation. I bought tickets for travel on the TPE website for travel from Edinburgh to Manchester on December 19th. These were purchased on the first day Advances became available on September 14th. It didn’t reserve seats for me and two calls to TPE Customer Services didn’t...

Last night I did try a dummy booking for the exact same tickets on Trainsplit and that offered me two seats together in Coach D. If they can offer, why can’t TPE? I also tried a second attempt with TPE through their online web support, same answer, no pair of seats available. :(

I’ve got a similar issue with TPE. Booked two Advances on their website for a journey from Edinburgh to Manchester on December 19th. These were booked on the first day they came on sale last month, so got a great price but wasn’t permitted to reserve seats. I don’t know why this was, but...

Hall i' th' Wood and Hollinwood (now Metrolink)

I know some prefer / can only use paper tickets, but this really is an example where e-tickets come into their own. I managed to change some Avanti advances via the app on Monday and had the new tickets instantly (can’t seem to add them to my phone wallet mind but do have the pdf and can see...

Last week I bought tickets for future travel from LNER, Avanti and TPE. The first two, definitely can be added, but I couldn’t seem to add the TPE ones.

Isn’t the time restriction on the Two Together Railcard to dissuade two work colleagues from using one on their daily commute?

Came across this article recently Wakes week trains

The TFGM statement quoted, mentions State Retirement Age for concessionary travel, so 66? 60 year olds do not (to the best of my knowledge) qualify for concessionary travel in GM.

Yes, we’ll do the latter. I’m sure it won’t be an issue and they’ll arrange acceptance with other operators (if they haven’t already done so). Thanks again

Thanks for the replies. The 18.46 isn’t really suitable, so we will have to go for one of the later connecting services. This surely has to be on EMR to sort out, we’ve bought the tickets in good faith and they (for whatever reason) have subsequently cancelled the service.

Looking for a bit of advice please. We hold advance tickets between Nottingham and Manchester for next Friday August 6th. Depart Nottingham 19.37, arrive Manchester Piccadilly 21.35. These tickets were purchased through Red Spotted Hanky on May 15th. Checking the schedule, I cannot see this...

Yes, I noticed that, but nothing for the 8th?

Looking for Manchester to St Ives departing 8th July, returning on 16th. Will be two adults with a Two Together Railcard. There doesn’t seem to be any fares available with the XC, which appears to be because the timetable is unconfirmed? Does anyone know when or indeed if it is likely that...

Moston - absolutely ghastly.
