Season ticket confusion
Hey, I am going to be starting my job in London from the 25th June and will be hoping to commute from Cheshunt --> St Paul's for 2 months. I went on nationalrail to see how much it would cost to commute and figured a season ticket would be cheaper. I went here to the national rail season ticket finder here…

Can I sue Megabus because the coach driver waved at me and drove past me?
I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section, sorry if I haven't. :o Yesterday, I was supposed to be catching a Megabus coach to St.Pancras in London. I was there in good time, (half an hour before the coach was due in fact) and was stood at the exact stop it specified on my ticket and I was clearly visible to the…

Free travel beyond Birmingham New St with Season Ticket
My partner and I are looking at buying train season tickets between Derby and Birmingham. Unlike me, she'll be going a bit further, changing at Birminham New St to head out to Solihull. Oddly, the price to Birmingham and to Solihull are identical. So, there must be a certain radius around central Birmingham that's included…

Any recommendation for "bike caves"
I now have a "proper" bike and two folding, electric bikes, and I need somewhere to store them all. I have looked at "bike caves" on Amazon, but the reviews are overall, very poor. I would prefer to be able to use one at the front of the house, as we don't have direct access from the front of the house to the back, and…

MTB disc brakes...? Avid Juicy 3 -> DB3
I have a ~6 year old bike with Avid Juicy 3 brakes. Last time I bled them, a lot of air seemed to get sucked in, so I guess I need to replace the seals. Also one of the concave-spherical calliper washers has split. The seal replacement kit and replacement bolts/washers are about £12 each. Yet there's the Avid DB3 front…

I am now going to be coming home from High Wycombe, it's on the same train line and the train I would have caught from London stops there so can I use the ticket to get back to Banbury from High Wycombe or will I need to buy a new…

Looking at getting into cycling. It'll be mainly used for road/track (not racing track :o ) and possibly canal. Went into a local bike shop at the weekend & one of the things i looked at were helmets. The bottom row were £30 helmets & as you worked up i saw price tags of £70. The upper shelves were probably dearer than…

Brompton ~ gearing / some hills
Just pondering a Brompton for work travel due to change in circumstances (would be for railway in the morning, 6 mile ride home). I have spoken to people on a Facebook bike group so I am confident the riding distance is ok. I think the single speed 54/12 would be unsuitable, top end is fine, hills less so, ditto the 54…

Forgotten rail card
A short while Back we forgot our railcard so bought tickets without the discount. They did not get checked. Can you buy tickets with the discount in the knowledge that even if a jobsworth gave you a fine you could appeal successfully? Or is that not a defence and do we have to just take it on the chin and pay full price?

From September to February I caught the train which was £40/week or £150/month depending on my schedule (sometimes have reading week so weekly tickets are cheaper). I commuted by bicycle in March, saving myself around £130, which was great but I'm a fair weather cyclist…
