    Swanage Railway - could we see trains to Wareham in 2024?

    This did happen, but wasn't readily available through online sales channels which limited its usefulness in the 2023 context, as you had to use a ticket office (or possibly TVM)

    Swanage Railway - could we see trains to Wareham in 2024?

    i would like to reiterate that as a Swanage Railway member: - I am glad that Project Wareham was pushed forward, and grateful to those who made it happen - I think it was the right thing to do - I also fully appreciate why we are where we are now, and clearly regular Wareham trains aren't the...

    No more cheap Advance tickets on 07:59 Eastbourne to London Victoria?

    But it is the case that Network Railcards don't give a discount on advance tickets, which is a rule from an era when Advances in the former NSE area didn't really exist on a mass scale.

    "Your railcard expires soon" postcard

    I think a multi-pronged approach is probably needed - email delivery can be quite flaky so I wouldn't want to set too firm an expectation that reminders will always be sent, to the extent that people would complain if the email was bounced, blocked by a spam filter etc.

    Uber ticketing

    AI would probably know the difference between a costumer and customer. But yes I don’t think anyone at Omio has actively comprehended what you were asking.

    Go South Coast

    Most of the GSC brands are offering discounted dayriders today for Earth Day - so for example on Morebus a zone ABC Dayrider is £4 instead of £10.50. You don't have to use it today - can buy now and activate within a year. Details and discount codes available on GSC brand websites.

    Uber ticketing

    I haven’t found a way to redeem gift vouchers in such a way they can be used for rail tickets once an Uber Money account has been created The workaround in my family is to use my wife’s Uber account for all ticket purchases

    What heritage railway has the most intensive timetables?

    In the last decade the Swanage Railway had a 45 minute frequency in summer, and used to have one of the longest operating days of any preserved line, with DMUs well into the evening. Sadly much diminished now.

    Setting gates to reject tickets - Thameslink

    It is incredibly customer-unfriendly. If TOC MDs were forced to experience what it's like at first hand, they'd soon fix things.

    Uber ticketing

    On further checking it actually seems to be an issue applying the Network Railcard discount. I want a Network railcard discounted off peak day single which should be £16 but Uber only offers the £24.30 full fare. With a senior railcard it correctly offers the £16 fare.

    Uber ticketing

    Does Omio / Uber struggle with tickets with London Thameslink as the origin? Planning a trip to Flitwick tomorrow and being offered higher fares than on other sites
