Travelling from Worcestershire Parkway to a destination the other side of London with a Network Railcard, out on Saturday and back on Sunday. The intended ticket would be one routed 'Not via Birmingham', which allows travel via Evesham, Stroud, or Cam & Dursley - although the Network Railcard is...

For a return between these stations. Flexibility to travel via Birmingham/Bristol and via Reading. Is there anything better than a through Off-Peak Return route via Bristol for £118.80 which can be excessed on board to a Super Off-Peak Return route Reading not London (£119.80, so an excess of...

Is it possible to purchase advance tickets from Chiltern Railways ticket machines?

I plan to walk the Flitch Way, a walking route over the former railway from Braintree to Bishops Stortford. As the railway lines from London to Braintree and to Bishops Stortford diverge straight out of Liverpool Street, what would be the best combination of tickets for these journeys...

I'd like to travel out from Birmingham to either Derby or Chesterfield and then return, via a series of buses, from either Manchester or Macclesfield to Birmingham. Please can anyone suggest any [combinations of] tickets that are valid via both the Derby and Manchester routes? Price to beat...

Services between London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads are diverted via the Berks & Hants and Wessex main line today due to engineering work between Didcot Parkway and Swindon, running fast between Reading and Bath Spa. I enjoyed a pleasant and peaceful journey, not stopping so often and...

Travelled from Tottenham Hale to Bishops Stortford and would like to know if I can return to London from Rye House (having walked there). Ticket held is a Super Off-Peak Day Return from Boundary Zone 6 to Bishops Stortford (obviously in conjunction with a ticket within the zones). Something...

Only Turbostar services of CrossCountry’s ordinarily call at Worcestershire Parkway. Last week, when CrossCountry imposed a reduced timetable on its Turbostar routes, it called, by control arrangement, other morning and evening services additionally at Worcestershire Parkway — at commute times...

I’d like to travel from London to Hemel Hempstead and then from Harpenden to London. Can anyone think of a cheaper way than two singles between London and the respective stations, please? The (undiscounted) price to beat is a Super Off-Peak Single from Euston to Hemel Hempstead at £15.10 + a...

An additional restriction has been added to restriction code C4, which applies to many Off-Peak Day Return tickets between the Thames Valley and other parts of the South East via London: Due to the time taken to cross London, this effectively forbids many day return journeys between places...

CrossCountry is advising passengers that its regional routes, operated by Turbostar trains, may not operate on Friday 4 November because of a strike by West Midlands Trains TSSA staff (no CrossCountry staff are striking on that day). It says ‘Due to the type of train used, it may not be...

I am studying permitted routes between London* and Aylesham and am struggling to understand why travel via St Pancras - Ashford - Folkestone - Dover wouldn’t be permitted (maybe it is, but NRE is not offering itineraries for travel by this route). According to the Routeing Point Calculator...

I’d like to travel from Birmingham to London via Leicester and the MML for a change of scenery. Please can anyone suggest good value flexible tickets that would allow this? Feel free to DM. Bonus points if they’d also allow the WCML so I can return direct.

Travelling via St Pancras today and may change my plans to travel to another destination beyond my original ticketed destination. Is there any reasonable chance of getting an overdistance excess from St Pancras ticket office (and if so, which one, as I believe there are multiple)? Thanks!

How might one generate a list of fare flows with a certain restriction code? Using perhaps the fares data, or I notice BR Fares has an API that is free for non-commercial use, or any other source which may be appropriate. I would appreciate any pointers. Thank you.

Stumbled across this on Twitter. Seems a good idea, making railway stations more of a hub for the community. Looks useful to collect a parcel when arriving at the station on your way home. Article...

I can't find the option to specify a minimum connection time in FastJP.com's new interface. Is it just me or is this functionality no longer available? It would be a terrible shame if so, as I like to use it to generate faster itineraries that don't adhere to official minimum connection times...

May need to travel from Birmingham to Manchester, returning same day. On a weekday but can probably go outside of (I know every ticket is different but) 'typical' morning peak periods. Does anyone know of anything cheaper than the typical split at Stafford please?

Is it valid to travel from Cheltenham Spa to Bristol Temple Meads on an Off-Peak Day Return ticket from Gloucester to Bristol Temple Meads?
