I was just looking at Milton Keynes to London Travelcards for Saturday 4th June, returning about 17.00. A variety of Off-Peak Travelcards are available, which is fine. However, the Anytime Day Travelcard (ADT), route 01000 (Any Permitted), although it is available on trains (both Avanti West...

The GWR website says: But I can't find any explanation of where the zones are, either on gwr.com or on the internet generally. Does anyone know?

Lots of major stations (and probably some smaller ones) used to have "cab roads" - where taxis were available on a platform, and there was no need to go outside the station. I can think of: - Paddington - Victoria - Kings Cross - St Pancras (I think?) - Edinburgh Waverley - York - Liverpool Lime...

I am sure forum readers will be familiar with this: - I have a cross-London ticket, and wanted to travel on the Underground from Kings Cross to Charing Cross - I decide to exit the Underground at Leicester Square (as permitted by the National Rail Conditions of Travel (NRCoT)), to walk from...

Do all the GC 180s (I believe there are 10) have the same interior layouts? I mean not just numbers of seats, but position of seats relative to windows, tables, size and type of seat etc. Or are they different from one another? I was wondering if the ex-GWR ones are different from the oes that...

If I have a Birmingham Stations to London Zones U12 ticket, I can obviously use it to do a journey such as - Birmingham New Street to London Euston (train) - London Euston to Queens Park (tube) (Queens Park is in Zone 2) However, could I use it instead to do: - Birmingham New Street to Queens...

I don't ever seem to be able to get the CrossCountry seat selector to appear. I tried York to Darlington, York to Sheffield and Sheffield to Bristol TM, all for Tuesday morning next week, and solely on CrossCountry services, but was never offered the option to select my seat. Has it been...

There are two basic ways to travel from Cradly Heath to Gloucester 1. Head south, changing at Worcester Shrub Hill / Cheltenham Spa (the obvious route really, but not with that many services) 2. Head to Birmingham, then head south on a CrossCountry service to Cheltenham Spa, then change for...

There's a few threads on here about ORCATS, referring to it being a BR creation. But I can't see anything specifying when it was introduced by BR. Does anyone know? ORCATS = Operational Research Computerised Allocation of Tickets to Services (according to Wikipedia).

On a point of pure trivia I just noticed the following consecutive departures on Tuesday 18th August from Manchester Piccadilly to Stockport: 07.18 TPE 07.24 Northern 07.27 CrossCountry 07.30 Transport for Wales 07.35 Avanti West Coast 07.42 EMR Six different operators, each operating just one...

For a journey from Moorthorpe to Saxilby there are two fare routes: 1. Any Permitted 2. LNER & Connections As Moorthorpe and Saxilby share a routeing point (Doncaster) in common, then the only permitted routes are: 1. direct train to Doncaster and direct train from Doncaster 2. the shortest...

We recently had a customer who possessed a Super Off-Peak Return (OPR) from London Euston (EUS) to Birmingham New Street (BHM), route "LNWR / WMT only" and priced at £25.00. She intended to travel on the 10.49 from EUS to BHM on Saturday 29th February, but was denied entry at Euston. She said...

It looks like the Saver Half (SVH) product is discontinued by Avanti from the May fares round. I haven't checked, but other similar products may be continuing on LNER (SSU) and EMR (SS2).

Many posters on here will fondly remember Red Star, the rapid and good value parcels service run by British Rail that was acquired by Lynx and closed in 2001. There’s a Wikipedia page on it and an old thread on this forum...

I was sitting outside the Costa Coffee (next to The Mad Bishop and Bear pub) at Paddington earlier today with a group of people and the question cane up whether people still called the area ‘the Lawn’ (which is what it is advertised on signs next to the sliding glass doors). Two people had no...

Does anyone know what type of train operates the Poznan to Wroclaw IC service? And what operates the Polregio service? I'd prefer a loco + coaches as opposed to a Pendolino type train. Cheers

I am trying to look up some train times on GWR.com, but it doesn't seem to be working - all I get is "an error has occurred". It's been like that since about 12.30 for me. It's not caching, as I tried incognito mode in Chrome. Anybody else experiencing the same?

Because of high winds there is currently a blanket 50mph speed restriction across Southeastern, imposed by Network Rail. I can understand this as several trains have already hit fallen trees or other debris. My question is: with the lineside tree-felling programme well underway (the effects are...

Out of interest, is there any journey where the only Travelcard on offer is an Anytime one, and there is no Off-Peak Day Travelcard (ODT or any other ticket type)?
