    Advice on sightly complicated refund/delay repay Keighley to Glasgow

    I travelled, but only as far as Carlisle. That's why I'm trying to clarify.

    Advice on sightly complicated refund/delay repay Keighley to Glasgow

    I had a disrupted day on Thursday. Two of us had tickets from Keighley to Glasgow. We had a Keighley to Hellifield off peak single then Hellifield to Glasgow advance valid on the 1349 Avanti from Carlisle due Glasgow Central 1500. Approaching Carlisle I realised there were many cancellations...

    Railcard app update to 2.0.0

    The new version of the Railcard app defaults to showing an expired Railcard, for me. I was travelling on Thursday and got my Railcard ready on the platform, saw it was expired, panicked and bought a new one, only to discover I've got six weeks left on my old one, and the expired one expired more...

    When and why did tickets stop being issued on trains?

    In West Yorkshire a lot of ticket offices closed in the 1980s (along with new, smaller stations opening (or reopening) without ever having had one) and BR at the time heavily advertised Paytrains - the only way to travel was to pay on the train (they then added Saverstrip machines, but you...

    Outlying coach stations for London?

    TfL don't own the Coach Station. They lease it from Grosvenor Group Limited (owned by the Duke of Westminster and his family).

    There's 2 from Skipton, 3 from Ilkley. 1 in each direction is part of the full length Bradford - Malham trip. Oddly none of the other 864 trips between Skipton and Malham connect with 864s to/from Ilkley. So 864 and 873 have 6 each way between them between Ilkley and Skipton (with an...

    With 873s also linking Ilkley and Skipton (with more trips than the 864).

    Getting Elizabeth Line from Reading

    The price varies a lot between off-peak and peak. If you use your Two Together card to buy a Travelcard, valid after 0930 it'll be £21.05 each. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=RDG&dest=1072&grpo=0403&grpd=0035&rlc=2TR&tkt=ODT Before 0930 you'd pay £68.50 (but note a single is about...

    There are buses between the two, but they're not 64s as it's a Bank Holiday.

    Unfortunately the notice suggests checking their website which lists the 64 and a variety of school routes as running today and lists the Monday timetable for all the routes I've looked at.

    Night riviera cabin supplement shock

    One reason the sleepers survived is that they're used by MPs returning to their constituencies. That's why the last one to disappear with little comment was Scotland to Cornwall.

    Night riviera cabin supplement shock

    The problem is, that if they start selling them as walk-ons at a better price, some of those willing to pay the extra will soon cotton on and start paying less.

    There's so many mistakes with Metro timetables. The 903 times are particularly bad. They go from Keighley, loop round Silsden and then to Airedale hospital, so many stops on the loop are served by buses in both directions. The times are all in one list whichever direction they're going with...

    So, that'd be as part of a bus war, contrary to the OP's request?

    Can I do better than £29.66 doing a Z6-Reading excess?

    The acceptance depends on how much you save, how much longer it is and how much spare time you have. I usually travel First with LNER, but last week Cross Country wanted so much between Birmingham and Leeds that I travelled with National Express, taking an hour longer and saving £70 over...

    Can I do better than £29.66 doing a Z6-Reading excess?

    I'm not sure how you're adding those up - I get £28.50 and £32.45 for those.

    I'm not sure why this would be aimed at people going to the university, but a news article confirms it's a commercial decision to restart it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-69044062.amp
