A friend has asked for advice for a 70 year old travelling from Bolton to London outward on 4th May, return on 5th May. I know there is a tube strike on 4th May. No railcard held (but obviously likely worth getting just for this one trip). Not too worried about an early start on the Saturday...

Any idea why there have been between 15 and 20 First Manchester double decker buses heading North today? All empty, no destination indicated. Still seeing them in Lanarkshire!

An off peak day return from Newcastle to Alnmouth is £13.40. It has restriction code B3 which I think is just off peak. I presume I can break journey at Morpeth (only want to do this on outward)? In the afternoon there is a gap in trains back and planners seem to send you via Berwick. Is that...

Is a couple of hours long enough to wander around Morpeth? Maybe taking in a coffee. And are tickets to Alnmouth (from Newcastle or Morpeth) really valid via Berwick?

1. Is a Bolton to Todmorden off peak day return valid via Blackburn and/or Manchester? I think I know the answer is yes to this. 2. Is a break of journey possible on both legs? Again, I think yes. 3. If breaking journey in Manchester on the return, could you arrive into Victoria, then go into...

I've got a TPE Club55 first class return from Preston to Glasgow on Saturday 3rd December (£36!!). Notwithstanding the possibility that most of the trains might not run on that day as TPE are not the most reliable of operators at present... What suggestions do people have for 11.30am or maybe...

Request from my nephew. I've used Trainsplit to get £45-£48 without getting into Crewe after midnight! Can any of the experts get it below £40? Norwich to Crewe/Stoke/Congleton Thursday 13th October afternoon/evening from Norwich, returning on Sunday 16th in the afternoon. 16-25 railcard...

I know this will sound silly as there is an obvious quick route, but is a weekly season ticket between Wigan and Crewe valid on any routes other than the WCML via Warrington BQ?

If you need to claim for Delay Repay for four separate passengers travelling together, but with separate tickets, does each of the passengers have to claim or can one person do it for all?

I've got Advance Singles on Tuesday and Thursday for TPE services, but purchased via TrainSplit. I have one booking reference. If I decide not to travel on Tuesday (heat and all that), then the Thursday ticket is also no use. 1. Who do I get a refund from? 2. Am I entitled to money back or...

I think this is impossible, but I said I'd ask.... "I want to go from Warrington to Adlington (Cheshire) Sunday 24th July, arriving pre. 09:30 and returning after 17:00. I've tried to look but not having any luck. Maybe because it's a Sunday?" If people on here say no, then I know it'll be...

I know that prior to pandemic, Newton-le-Willows car park was always full with commuters. Is this still the case on a weekday morning (a Tuesday)? And how long can you stay? I think it is free, isn't it?

If the diagrams suggested in post #1087 of the TPE Diagrams thread on the Allocations sub-forum are accurate, there will be some good 68 days from May. Hope Valley and then to Cleethorpes (2 diagrams) and Liverpool to Scarborough (4 diagrams). It'll be like the 1980s again. Well, almost.

When I came back to the hobby in 2018, I started a thread to query how much things would have changed and to feed back on my experiences. Time has moved on and I thought I'd start a new thread to record my toings and froings in 2021. My railway trips are a mix of days out, visits to family and...

Just joined this at Shrewsbury for the run as far as Llandudno Junction. It's 67008 and 82226 (Alzheimers Society branding). Not too busy.
