I have a period return ticket that is valid via Barnham and tomorrow I need to head to Bognor. Just a signal journey to Bognor as I will be collected. Usually I would just buy a single or return from Barnham to Bognor, having changed trauns at Barnham. However, there is engineering works...

On 15 April 2023 I purchased some shoes for £150. I can even see in my Google Maps timetable when I was in the shop. The shoes didn't last a year as they split at the bottom. I went in this morning to enquire about getting some more as I like them. When I showed the shoes, I was told they...

I could find this question before but apologies if it's been answered. What is the largest UK railway station to have a subway and/or footbridge connecting one or more platforms but no lifts? Or to put it more simply, which is the largest station not to have level access to all platforms. I...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/ticket-machines-why-has-qwerty-been-abandoned.265376/ On the Hamburg TMVs I can select English. The option to select German doesn't appear on the Guildford TMVs. In fact a lot of Asian students study at the University of Surrey and...

Laat today, there will be rail replacement buses between North Camp and Shalford and also Ash and Shalford. In the direction of Redhill, most passengers will have a sheduled 28 minute gap between arriving by bus and the train departing but theybwill be able to spend the time on the train. This...

This Sunday there is engineering works on the North Downs Line. I've noticed some long waits between buses and trains. There are buses between North Camp and Shalford. If one was travelling from Reading they would depart at 9:50, get to North Camp at 10:23, wait for 17 minutes and then get the...

This may well have come up before but as I experienced it myself last night, I thought it deserved a post. On the Rail Fare guide under change of route excess, the following is explained...

This has come up more generally in the past but not sure if this specific example has come up. What is the reason why the Monday to Friday 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo cannot stop at Clapham Junction. It passes there at 19:22 and the next service appears to be the 19:29...

I'm sure the answer is here but I can't find it amongst everything else. What time and day do Avanti West Coast [AWC] release new advanced tickets? For AWC advanced booking information, National Rail Enquiries [NRE] states the following...

I saw this on X, formally known as Twitter and found it interesting. https://twitter.com/ndunlavey/status/1759894244632789062?t=9f2R4s-R5rtnmr0t9klxRA&s=19 Someone with a disabled rail card is travelling tomorrow from London Waterloo to Southampton. They wanted to know why the Off-Peak Day...

Due to a points failure north of Haywards Heath station in the up direction, fewer trains can run. Gatwick Express branded trains from Brighton to London Victoria are cancelled between Brighton and Gatwick Airport. Some are showing as cancelled but earlier others are just not showing at all...

The BBC are reporting work has started on new lifts and a new footbridge Leatherhead to make it fully accessible. I couldn't see a thread covering this. The footbridge in the photographs didn't look that old but then I realised these are mock-ups for the new footbridge. BBC News -...

What would be a reason for not holding the last train of the night so that people off a delayed connection can catch it? Do the goverment pick uo the bill for the resulting taxis? This evening I got to Surbuton and was going to Guildford with friends. I had a choice of the 0:33 going to...

I've put this here but not sure if it's the right place. What is the longest journey between two stations that have no direct train service between them and/or the direct line connection no longer exists but use to? I will even accept changing of trains originally but only if it is a disused...

Rishi Sunak seems obsessed with the word priority so for a bit light hearted fun, name one of your top priorities this year? One of mine is to keep making efficent use of my personal finances when it comes to train travel.

Why is it that some Post Office staff ask if there is a letter contained inside a parcel when posting something? My mum said she is sometimes asked this question. I tried to look this up online but couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone know?

https://guildford-dragon.com/pedestrian-access-to-guildford-station-footbridge-to-be-withdrawn-for-three-month-trial/ Could they not build a separate footbridge for pedestrians? I accept that costs money and I don't know if such a proposal is in the station rebuilding programme. Also, will...

Apologies if this has already been asked but I couldn't see anything recent. With some train companies running fewer trains are they employing less staff than before the pandemic? Or are they using the spare staff to avoid the need for as much overtime by other staff?

This is a very minor point but it interested me. The 16:30 London Waterloo to Portsmouth service is usually booked to arrive into Guildford on platform 4 at 17:02 and depart at 17:04. However, I have noticed that during this week's engineering works on the Portsmouth Direct, south of...

Apologise if this is the wrong section. There was an article in the Evening Standard about whether the Elizabeth Line is a tube or train line. This is what the TfL spokesman said when asked by the Standard whether the Elizabeth line was classed as a Tube line or a train line. it was So does...
