Tried to buy train tickets to Durham from Central Station but instead just panicked. So I'm now getting home an hour later and I am now waiting for the 21 to Durham at Eldon Square.

I know how stupid this sounds, but for me this is a big deal.

Feared that I may be selecting the wrong ticket from the machine, possibly because the Virgin branding is plastered everywhere in Central Station and I wanted a CrossCountry service.

But I thought a Newcastle to Durham ticket was valid any service?

I mean, last week, I bought a return ticket between Manchester and Liverpool which was valid any any train route between the two cities.

I have honestly no idea. Think it may be but I wasn't certain, I'm fearful that I'm wrong and may end up in trouble. Was a bag of nerves when I did Wakefield the other week, although I had someone else with me that day, whereas now I'm on my own.

There was (may not still exist) a cheaper ticket (about £4.00 when I last used it) from Durham to Newcastle that can only be used on the Cross Country services

X12 has finally left Newcastle 12 MINUTES LATE, no reason given even though the bus arrived at Eldon Square at 18:45!!!

Customer services can expect a strongly worded email about this, especially if I miss the 7 in Durham.

Why the hell have we gone to Gateshead via the Tyne Bridge but the X25 could seemingly do its normal route?

Made it to Durham in time to catch the 7, lord knows where the 7 is though.

Can someone check the Arriva Live Map for Durham Bus Station for the 7 as I have weak signal, so I can't see how late it is on the app.

Ah the joys of being an idiot who panicked at Central Station and has to get the bus home instead

I am disappointed with myself over what happened at Central Station, it's so annoying that something that seems so easy for most turns out to be something that I can't seem to get my head round and every train journey I have ever done in the last 12 months I've been stressed that I don't know what I'm doing and I'm convinced I've done it wrong, even if I have done it right.

Advice?

Go to the ticket office next time and talk to someone, if you're in doubt? It's open until quite late at Newcastle I think.

Station staff are always really friendly too, and I'm sure they'd be willing to show you if asked.

I tried going to the ticket office but couldn't get in, don't know if it was closed or because my head was all over the place and somehow managed to forget how to open a door.

Probably wrong door, as it's open until 21.20, according to the website?? It's right at the far end of the station, with platform 12 in front of it... just past the Sainsbury's local.
