    Journey with the most amount of changes

    Interestingly, if you put not via London (All stations) in the NRE app, it includes routes via Farringdon but with no fares, as it isn't a valid route. These non valid routes only require 3 changes. Flitwick to Illkley can be done in 4 changes but as you say only 5 when it's Ilkley to Flitwick.

    Guildford to Glasgow and then Glasgow to Haywards Heath or to Guildford, if needs be. (Sat 13 to Mon 15 Oct)

    In the end I decided not to travel as I couldn't find a hostel I liked that had availability on the Saturday night. What I did work out though is that splitting at Coventry could be helpful. At times you may need to tell it to change trains there.

    Guildford to Glasgow and then Glasgow to Haywards Heath or to Guildford, if needs be. (Sat 13 to Mon 15 Oct)

    Hi there I'm planning to go to Glasgow this weekend. Out Saturday and return Monday. If I use split ticketing and my own knowledge I can get a return from Guildford to Glasgow for just over £110. However, if I put just Glasgow to Haywards Heath into the forums ticketing site for Monday, I am...

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    So an update. I ended up travelling to and from Haywards Heath. Going I got the 14:42 to Gatwick Airport. I arrived at around 14:22 and 20 seconds. This is important. So over 10 minutes before the 14:32 to Redhill departed. Originally we get in at 14:23, so stupidly in my opinion, the 14:32 is...

    Trivia - Shortest Journey Requiring Two Changes

    That is only 1 change. I don't know about the train miles but Norbiton to Hinchley Wood requires a change at New Malden and Surbiton. In the opposite up direction, there is one Monday to Friday train from Hinchlsy Wood that stops at both Surbiton and New Malden. It has no similar service in...

    Kingston to Wallingford on Sunday 3 September 2023

    I checked out the Bunk Lime but the times didn't seem to work if coming from Kingston I felt. Whilst the Hayes and Harlington works going. Coming back it wants you to go to Ealing Broadway. I cannot find a way to route someone back via Hayes & Harlington because no doubt it's slower, even if...

    Kingston to Wallingford on Sunday 3 September 2023

    I will check that one out. Alas the District line is closed between High Street Kenaington and beyond Paddington so my other thought is Wimbledon to Paddington and then the train but doesn't work as well. I will check it all out though.

    Kingston to Wallingford on Sunday 3 September 2023

    I got it wrong, there is only one bus an hour from Reading to Wallingford Via Hayes and Harlington gets one into Reading at 9:43 and the bus isn't until 10:21. The alternatives involving additional train journeys as well as a bus, depart respectively at 10:26 and 10:37. It seems going to...

    Kingston to Wallingford on Sunday 3 September 2023

    I did see that partly route, although it also suggested changing at Twyford for the train to Henly on the Thames and then a bus from there but I can't remember if that was Sunday or not. I was also looking up other days to sew if it was just Sunday awkward travelling or everyday awkward...

    Kingston to Wallingford on Sunday 3 September 2023

    A friend is going to Wallingford on Sunday. I was surprised at how long it takes to get from Kingston to Reading. It's 1 hour 44 minutes. By car it's only 55 minutes, which is 49 minutes faster. The train includes a 30 minute wait at Twickenhan as the train arrives just as the Reading train...

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    They dawned on me. I could do a return trip from Haywards Heath. Via Tonbridge coming home is just 1 hour 44 minutes. Going via Tonbridge to keep costs lower 2 hours 31 minutes. If I go via London it's still 2 hours and the price goes up to £30 instead of £17 but they are doable. Depends on...

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    Then I am high and dry as I didn't allow the minimum connection time.

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    That's a good point I has not thought of, although I wouldn't be at the property until late. Plus it does add further costs. There again owning a car has running expenses and I have none of those costs throughout the year. This must far outweigh any accommodation costs for one night.

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    I've just realised the Any Permitted ticket includes the tube so I could tube it from Victoria to Vauxhall. I would need to make the 0:26 tube though and arriving in at 0:23 would be cutting it fine. The issue with Haywards Heath is that I would need to leave the next morning on a more...

    Maidstone to Guildford late at night

    Someone has offered me a free ticket to go to a concert in Maidatone but I need to get home to Guildford the same night by public transport. The last train to show up, when I search, is the 22:13, which is too early as the concert will probably finish around 22:30. It seems the last train of...

    Tulse Hill to London Kings Cross 23 July

    That would be so cool.

    Travel to Hamburg around 15 July. Looking for cheap travel advice.

    I found the signage at Brussels Midi to be lacking when trying to locate the Eurostar. Also at Brussels Central I has fun trying to locate trains to Brussels Midi. I saw a 19'17 and 19:19 shown but by the time I got from the top of the stairs to the bottom, a train had left and nothing was...
