Trains, buses and coaches

For information about trains telephone the National Rail Enquiry Service. For trains in
Northern Ireland, phone Translink. For information on coaches, phone National Express.
For coaches in Scotland, phone Scottish Citylink.

Usually, tickets for trains and underground systems such as the London Underground
must be bought before you get on the train. The fare varies according to the day and time
you wish to travel. Travelling in the rush hour is always more expensive. Discount tickets
are available for families, people aged 60 and over, disabled people, students and people
under 26. Ask at your local train station for details. Failure to buy a ticket may result in a penalty.

Taxis

To operate legally, all taxis and minicabs must be licensed and display a licence plate.
Taxis and cabs with no licence are not insured for fare-paying passengers and are not
always safe. Women should not use unlicensed minicabs.
