    I've got to make a few train journeys over the next few days. I will be buying tickets with a 26-30 railcard. However, as it is digital only, and my smartphone has died, how am I meant to prove I have the railcard? I will be without my smartphone for at least the next 4 days, all I have is a...

    Can I do this?

    Going from Worthing to London Victoria on a day return ticket is much cheaper than going from Victoria to Worthing on day return. I've noted that only the more expensive ticket is sold at ticket machines in London. So as I need to go to Worthing from Victoria, what's stopping me from going...

    My train was 35 minutes late. I missed my connection as a result. However, I did not board the late train as it was absolutely rammed and I had luggage. I then boarded the following service which was on time, but an hour ish after the train I'd originally intended to board. I then had a short...

    With an advance ticket, breaking the journey before the final destination printed on the ticket, because you are on a packed train and feel ill and need air. For example, going to London Victoria from Brighton on Southern. Could you get off and then buy a mobile ticket to complete the...

    LNER First Class cheaper than standard, surely an error?

    My Friend has just purchased a first class ticket from Newcastle to Huntington for £30.00. This was cheaper than a standard class ticket for the same journey on the same train. The price has now changed, so the first class ticket is just a couple of pounds more expensive than in first class...
