    Destination Swapping at Crewe Station 23/2/24

    The effect of split ticketing on detecting short faring

    So, to give an example, I often travel on itineraries like 10:10 Johnstone - Glasgow Central 10:38 Glasgow Central - Oxenholme It is significantly cheaper to split the ticketing at Glasgow, which is fully barriered for ScotRail services. Are you seriously telling me that you believe this to be...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    I disagree with this statement - I think that by and large, people couldn't care less about their local MP, and instead vote entirely based on the party they represent.

    Are Groupsave tickets now accepted on Crosscountry trains?

    You can't, because there's no such thing. Any Permitted and Avanti only are two completely different route restrictions

    (TRIVIA) Smallest station with the best service?

    You're having a laugh with Liverpool, aren't you? It gets direct service to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham, Norwich, Leeds, York, Newcastle and Prestonat least every hour, with Glasgow served a few times a day.

    My advice: Never book to travel with Grand Central

    This is quoting the National Rail Conditions of Travel, which all train companies are covered by https://assets.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/3Y9UXuFziljwsGFCUAwKAA/0aa50a101febffda28c070aae2572570/National_Rail_Conditions_of_Travel.pdf

    No stations between Stockport & Navigation Road: could this change?

    I never said it just served Benchill - I said that the demand from Altrincham was to points no further than Benchill -

    I don't have any actual statistics, but as far as I am aware, the bulk of demand on route 11 from Altrincham is to points no further than Benchill, and from the Stockport end, for journeys no further than Wythenshawe Hospital. There's very little use that I've seen for Altrincham to Gatley...

    SailRail Questions

    I wasn't aware that you could get SailRail from destinations in England to Dublin via the Cairnryan ferry - I think that you can only get it to Belfast. Sailrail tickets to Belfast routed Cairnryan Stena include the bus link from Ayr - it goes from outside the exit to the station on platform 4...
