Hi,
For the last couple of days when trying to purchase tickets from worle using either the fgw site or the trainline site it keeps saying there's no tickets available, no matter what destination i select, yet there is from Weston Milton or Weston-super-mare, have they forgotten worle station exists?!
Has anyone else been having problems?

Erm ... no.  I'm really not trying to be funny, but you are entering 'WOR' as your outward station?  |

William Huskisson MP was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Yes I'm entering it correctly, tested it by either typing in the station name myself or clicking on the station name that pops up when the site recognises the station your entering, neither works, also getting the same problems using the fgw app on my smart phone.

Well, that's really odd, then.  I've just 'bought' a £3.70 ticket from Worle to Nailsea & Backwell for 14:45 tomorrow without any problem. |

Is popping into Weston-super-Mare station an option? If not you can order the full range of tickets over the phone

Hi Smartie36.
Could you tell us the exact journey you are trying to find tickets for, including date and time of travel?

Looks like I may have to do that, certainly something weird going on with the booking system, choosing just a single from worle to St Ives works but a return doesn't, says no tickets available yet if I keep to the same date but change the departure station the return ticket option works! |

Sorry, saw your post after typing my other reply up. It's worle to St Ives for the 16th may. The 8:50 from worle, arriving St Ives 13:31, returning on same day, departing St Ives 17:02 and getting back to worle at 22:07. It's a day trip I make down to St Ives quite often. |

Well I've just tried Worle - St Ives using a WebTIS based booking engine (redsnottedhanky) and a trainline based one (FGW). No problems bringing up the range of trains that day, or the fares.
Do make sure you don't have an inappropriate 'via/avoid' station entered and try clearing your browser's cache/cookies.

I can only find a single train for that day which is the 1607 Worle to St. Ives. (Using Trainline's ticketing engine)
I take it this is the ordinary service for Worle?

Not sure as I've always caught the train from St Ives to make it to St erth in time for the 17:49 hst service to Taunton, then the 21:29 hst service to worle. |

My apologies, had the wrong date when I checked FGWs site. There is indeed a problem with the FGW booking engine, and others powered by thetrainline. I've reported the bug to FGW. Suggest you make your purchase through a WebTIS based booking engine. I recommend redspottedhanky.com. Independent of any train operator and no booking, payment card or ticket collection fees. |

Out of interest, what does NRE use to plan it's journeys. NRE decided that there were no journeys available (Bug too).

I see this bug still hasn't been sorted, would have thought they'd had sorted it out by now. |
