if you book online you can spend more time looking at which ticket suits you best and sometimes it works out cheaper!

Answer 11

re booking on line - have you tried the Virgin Trains site? They provide the service from London to Birmingham and may be more accommodating over your Visa Electron than trainline.

Answer 12

phone them up and ask about an apex ticket i think you get them on all lines. you have to book in advance but it works out cheaper

Answer 13

yes, as long as the manned ticket booth is open, they can book you any journey.

Answer 14

It is part of the agreement that all train companies sign up to that you can buy a 'walk up' ticket from any staion to any other station at any station.

I work in a train ticket office in London, just last week I sold a ticket for Coventry to Liverpool, so it is the same everywhere else. The only things you acn't get are some of the 'internet only' tickets etc.

Answer 16

yes you can go into any travel centre and there is a special queue for passengers who wish to book in advance and travel at a later date and they should they not accept Visa Electron (i know i have it and it can be a pain) then they will definitely accept cash.
