i am travelling to London 1st May, I am wanting to get from Gatwick to London Victoria. trainline.com shows this to be £12 one way, is this the best price?

Hi, Looking to book return tickets from Edinburgh to Sheffield. Normally travel on the West Coast line when going down south, splitting at Preston/Wigan/Warrington, but rarely use the East Coast line. Can anyone advise on the best stations to split tickets at on this line, to save me a bit of time when searching for the…

OK, here we go. Going up to London tomorrow for hospital appointment with OH. We are parking in Westfield Stratford - £6.70. How much do we pay for our journeys on the tube from Stratford to Kensington High St, using contactless debit card? Am I right in thinking that the daily cap is £8 per adult? I have been on the TFL…

Can someone tell me if I pay by contactless for 1 days travel in zone 1 will it be capped at £6.80 like an Oyster card? Just want to travel from Euston to South Ken by tube then maybe Oxford St and back to Euston. Thanks for any help.

Just reading latest issue of AutoCar. Has an article about a Porsche sports car and a little town car on a trip to from south to north Wales. The city car did the trip 50 minutes quicker than the train and was 325% cheaper. The high powered Porsche was 1 hour quicker and 60% cheaper than the train. ..... and The Green…

Hi recently my car broke down, and for about two weeks I had to travel in London by train. I just used my bank card to touch in and out. My question is what is the daily rate limits and caps. I understand it's more during peak hours. I did some research and found travelcards are £12 per day zones 1-6? Some of my daily…

Apologies if this is a really simple question, but I don't use trains that often! I am making a visit to the Food Show in Olympia this week, and I had intended at Luton to buy an all day travel card. i think these are about £20-30? But by chance I stumbled across a website that said it would be cheaper just to use a…

I think I already know the answer to this but I thought I'd ask just incase... I have bought two rail tickets for myself and a friend (£80 total) - they are 'advance' tickets so are not eligible for a refund under the Great Western terms and conditions - the offer to change them for a £10 fee plus the difference is about…

Good afternoon, I'm having a spot of trouble with TheTrainline.com. I ordered some tickets and they sent me twice as many as I needed and charged me extra for them. Regardless of how that happened, they agreed to a refund if I return the tickets - £214.80 is owed. I returned them but the trainline claimed not to have…

Hello, Due to the bad weather a few weeks ago i was on an extremely overcrowded, packed train from Dewsbury to Manchester Piccadilly. I had purchased a first class ticket, however due to other train being cancelled and delays, there was only one service running per hour- the one in which i had booked on. Due to the…

I was on a train from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Airport Today. 11th March 12.16. 13.30 It left Manchester Oxford Road at about 13.00 when it came to a stop and stayed that way until 15.30 because of a protest on the track. They transfered everybody to a diesel train and took us the few meters to Piccadilly (not…

After reading the new newsletter, I've just been on the O2 Priority App. And there's no offers for Virgin Trains! I can wait until tomorrow, but there's nothing like queue jumping. Any idea why it isn't working? A mistake on MSE's behalf?
