    What would happen if the last train of the night was overcrowded?

    I've been reading threads about how the TOC will provide an alternative means of travel to your destination if your last train is cancelled. Does this also apply if you were unable to board the train? I'm thinking of stations which are near sports or music events. I assume the TOC would get you...

    Going to London... confusion.

    Quick question. If my return tube was delayed and I missed my return train, what would happen? Would I be able to catch the next train like a normal advance ticket or because it is the underground that delayed me they wouldn't want to know?

    Going to London... confusion.

    I used the National Rail website which then directed me to the Virgin Trains website. It costs more straight to London Euston which made me think these tickets must of been valid when I looked a few minutes ago. So contact Virgin Trains?

    Question about connections?

    Is there a website which shows the minimum connection times? Just so I can double check my tickets before I book them in the future.

    I see, so I will still be able to get onto the next train which is due at the station if my train is delayed. Cheers for all your replies, I think I no longer have to take the smelly coach.

    Question about connections?

    Cheers for your replies. To thenorthern, the advanced tickets are around £15 cheaper so if I pick them and miss my train I can't get the next one? http://gyazo.com/3f9d77eac8ee5facaccaf6f17162ba52
