Not sure if it’s already been mentioned. Just booked return tickets to Cambridge from Liverpool Street for £10 via Greater Anglia Hare Fare Sale. No railcard required. 

Offer ends Sunday.

    Annoyingly, it's rail replacement buses from Ely when coming from Norwich for this one.... and its 17 quid... looks like I'll just drive...

    Should have been a rare nice easy away for me

    Peterborough rearranged will have to be a drive, too...or else change in Ely at like 23 30 in way back 

    Have high hopes of Ipswich being bloody smooth as can be

    Clive, should we be applying for refunds from Greater Anglia, waiting a bit, or do they refund automatically?
    Thanks mate.

    Remember that. Kicked off on way to ground when they came out of a pub. Also by the river with people running past shouting don't run and in the ground and on the way back to station.All in all a very quiet day.

    I would wait, as i'm not sure what impact the strike will have on their services.
    Also keep a eye on their website for information regarding services & refunds etc.

    So annoying. Makes it much worse that they are likely to be relegated this season. Have to skip the tourist stuff and just go to the game instead now.

    Latest update from greater Anglia

    Saturday 18 March

    This is strike day so please avoid travelling with us. Our service will be heavily reduced and disrupted. We expect our services to be like this:

    • Trains start from 07.30, with all last trains completing their journey by 18.30
    • Reduced service of one train per hour between Norwich and London Liverpool Street, Colchester and London Liverpool Street, and Cambridge and London Liverpool Street.
    • Reduced service of two trains per hour between Southend Victoria and London Liverpool Street and on the Stansted Express.

    Ticket options

    1. Avoid travelling with Greater Anglia on strike days

    2. Travel on a different day with the same ticket

    3. Change your ticket to another date in the future

    4. Refund

    Daily tickets

    You can already get a full refund on unused daily tickets. This applies when you decide not to travel after booking because your intended service is cancelled, delayed, rescheduled or if your seat reservation will not be honoured.

    If you have a return ticket and don't travel, including two Advance tickets (an outbound and return leg), you can claim a full refund if your outward or return journey falls on a strike day. For this scenario, please contact our Customer Relations.

    Customers are strongly encouraged to refund their tickets and rebook for a day that is not close to a strike day, as trains on the days immediately before and after strike days are expected to be extremely busy.

    How did you buy your ticket?How to claim a Daily ticket refund

    Don't know what all the fuss is about. RMT members are only on strike for 2 minutes on the 16th March.....according to the bit in bold. I minute past midnight & 1 minute to midnight.

    Or perhaps the RMT need lessons in English.
