Hi All, I am travelling from Long Eaton to Aston Villa FC a week on Saturday for a gig - I'm guessing it's going to be very busy getting out of brum to the venue, so I'm thinking of walking back up the line to perry barr to get back in to brum. We are travelling the saturday and coming back...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this. Yesterday at St Pancras, 2132 to Sheffield. All ticket gates shut for a few minutes prior to boarding. Then platform announced, gates activated, everyone has to scan tickets to get through. Then, at the start of the platform, a second...

Hi All, I just want to check something - for 2 people with a two together railcard on a weekday - I think we can get the 09:41 train to St Pancras for £140 (destination is actually london international). I think this is an open return, so I can use it a few days later when I return from Paris...

Hi all! Irritatingly, the national rail app has been 'updated' and now when using the journey planner it makes you 'pick' an outward journey before it shows returns. I find this to be a pain as quite often, my outward train is influenced by when the returns are! So, is there an app out there...

Hi all, Just had this this morning on the 0840 long eaton to St Pancras. Amazed they are allowed to sell every seat? I feel sorry for the staff as at least one of them was getting some grief over it. The silly thing was a load of the reserved seats were empty, so they were telling people...

Hi, Having travelled by train more widely recently, I'm starting to realise just how short and 'low capacity' trains feel on the Midland mainline and the network around Nottingham/Derby. Jumped on an (I think) 11 coach service from Euston to Manchester the other day, and even within the...

Hi, I travelled on an EMR advance recently to STP - i was significantly delayed so would like to put in a delay repay claim. I just wondered, it was my friend who bought the ticket but can I still claim the delay repay for the ticket I travelled on to be paid to me? It will save me a load of...

Hi, I plan to travel on 1st October to something I can't really change. Journey is Derby to London, return following day. I'm confused by the rumours. ASLEF are out but articles don't list EMR. RMT is rumoured but not in the news. Tickets can still be purchased for the day including advances...

Hi All, I am planning to travel from LGE to DBY one morning next week, returning early afternoon. Then, I will be going LGE to NOT early evening and returning mid evening. Will I need 2 separate returns for this or is there any kind of 'day ticket' I can buy? Also....the reduced EMR...

Hi, I rarely go to London on the train, but as is typical (lol) SWR are striking on the day I want to travel. I wanted to go from Axminster to London (don't care which station), travelling on Saturday 11th and coming back on Sunday 12th August. Due to medical issues that my other half has...

Hi, SWT offer weekend super off peak tickets and these seem to be available for journeys between Exeter and stations to Axminster. They also offer super off peak tickets on weekdays as well, and the only non London restrictions are on morning trains up to 10.59. However I can't seem to book...

Hi, Just out of interest (and in case this ever actually happens), what would happen if the last train from Exeter to Honiton was cancelled and I had a Devon Evening Rover? Would SWT still be responsible for getting me to my destination via, for example, taxi given that my ticket doesn't...

Hi, I am a bit confused by some engineering works on a day that I have to travel in May. My journey is: Sunday 14/05/2017 - Taunton to Preston (Lancs), arriving early evening ideally but this is flexible Thursday 18/05/2017 – Preston (Lancs) to Taunton, leaving at approximately...
