Two Together Railcard
Can you buy tickets before you actually receive your two together railcard. Virgin have a three day sale on now but I can`t get the card for five days. Do you have to enter your railcard number or can you just buy the tickets and get your railcard later?

Very noisy front brake on cycle
Oh my days, this is driving me potty!! Can anyone explain WHY my front brake only (not the back) is so noisy. It squeals so loudly when I use it. Is there anything I can do to cure this, and once it's cured, to stop it happening again? I am pretty sure there is a lot of eye rolling going on now, and it's probably very…

Train Delays, Open Returns and First Class Upgrades
If you get an open return ticket (standard class), but might get a 1st class upgrade (it's good value at weekends on East Coast), then you may well need to keep your outbound ticket until you have returned so that you can make a full delay claim (of which there's a good chance on East Coast). If you're delayed enough for a…

Advance tickets on a Sunday
Is there any logic to when advance tickets are released? I need to travel from London to Crewe on Sunday 28th January. I can get advance tickets for the 27th, 29th and 30th, but there are none available for the 28th. It seems unlikely they have sold out for all trains that day. Are they normally released at a different…

Hopeless at planning rail travel
Hello all, 2 over 50s and 2 over 60s need to travel from Edinburgh to Aldershot at some point in the next month. Should be able to book a week or so in advance if that helps.

Trainline Confusion
Hi all, I've booked a few sleeper trains to Paddington (from Redruth) in the past but usually at short notice, so never quibbled at the price. For a November booking, I can see 2 x cheaper singles totalling £46 return (yay!), but when I click forward to add the sleeper option (£70) it's not available. I can only reserve a…

The Trainline Changes Ticket After Booking!?
So I thought I'd post a general warning to you all about the Trainline website. Yesterday I bought a standard single ticket between 2 stations routing via London leaving at 2pm. The total cost was £60 and all seemed well. Well at least it was until I read the email this morning. Apparently I booked a non refundable…

Stagecoach problem
I purchased a monthly ticket to get to work when I got paid on 31/10/17 for £93.99. I done it online and sent the ticket to my smart card and chose 02/11/17 as the start date. So I'm stood at the bus stop this morning and I go to use my card and the driver says it has expired. I try again and yep it's definitely expired.…

I was involved in an accident with a London bus nearly 3 years ago which I posted here not too long after it happened and have been dealing with one of the 'no win no fee' law firms since.
