I've just bought a ticket tomorrow from LNER for Brighton to York.... 07:44 from Brighton connecting to 09:30 from KGX. This is a super off-peak ticket. Clearly off peak tickets are not normally valid on southern or thameslink trains before 09:30 from Brighton, but I'm assuming here LNER sets...

I generally use the Avanti app for train tickets as I find its one of the best designs and the easiest to use. However if I put in Brighton to London Euston - Friday 15.09 it displays Anytime Day Single at £39.10 and says this is the CHEAPEST (no other ticket types are available) If I...

It's clear from these forums, press releases (and a quick look on linkedin) that the Trainline.com has quite a few people assisting TOC's by investigating fraudulent transactions. Given the trainline is a commercial enterprise, what's in it for them to invest so much in supporting TOC's by...

Hi... I'm travelling from London to Manchester tomorrow on an advance single but didn't realise how much easier it would be for my friend to pick me up from Stockport than Picadilly If I now buy a separate Manchester-Stockport single ticket is there any issue with me getting off the train...

Brighton football club funds free travel on trains (and buses) to Falmer on match days to encourage people to arrive via public transport. How does this work - do people just show a match ticket at any of the large number of stations in the free travel zone and they are then manually let...

Last week I witnessed a tourist arriving in Brighton who had put her ticket into the gate but was standing looking confused and waiting for the gate to the right to open (rather than the one to the left which was now open). Hope that makes sense! However before I had chance to help her, the...

My niece has bought advance singles for a trip from York to Leeds at the weekend. First time buying her own ticket. She selected 16-25 railcard when actually she has a 16-17 railcard. Can't refund and buy again as its an advance ticket. Is there any problem using the ticket given she's...

My mother travelled today on a day return Middlesbrough to Newcastle via Hartlepool. The return service was cancelled and the next direct service would have resulted in a delay of at least 65 mins. Having read it's up to the guard as to whether you can travel on another TOC's service after a...

The Avanti west coast website says they are temporarily introducing a reduced timetable at weekends from 23 July, so you can travel with greater certainty. It says they haven't published their timetable for next weekend (30/31 July), and also says they will only be running one train an hour...

Hello If a buy a ticket from Brighton to London I can select an e-ticket (Thameslink), and can do the same from London to York (LNER) However it is not possible to select an eTicket when buying a ticket from Brighton to York. Why is that? Surely there is an industry standard on how to...

Standing at Blackfriars station on a packed platform with delayed/cancelled trains got me pondering this hypothetical scenario.... Lets say you have a Thameslink Stations to Brighton ticket. Is it acceptable to travel in the wrong direction to City Thameslink to then join your southbound...

Hi My sister is travelling tomorrow - she organised a Two Together railcard (via the post) over 10 days ago but it has not yet arrived given the issues with the post at the moment, and she obviously needs a railcard to use the advance tickets she has purchased. If she buys a new digital...
