    London to Liverpool

    It's 5 stops direct on the Victoria line, 50 minutes on the outward journey should be enough. Tottenham Hale is a simple 2 platform station so it should be easy to reach the tube, see layout below. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/TOM/stationOverview.xhtml Once you get to Euston...

    London to Liverpool

    'London Stansted to Liverpool STNS*' is your travel ticket and will work the barriers on the Underground. 'London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street' is your seat reservation, but you must keep this with the ticket, especially on your return journey, since your tickets won't be valid without them.

    Football

    And the 1990 FA Cup semi-final? :wink:

    Child season ticket 'easement'

    An easement exists where a child season ticket of a month or longer can continue to be used up to 4 months after the holder's 16th birthday. This is stated on the Season Tickets page of NRE, and while I will take a photocopy of it with me on my travels, are there any other sources that could...

    Coastliner 700 route set to be split

    With Stagecoach proclaiming `You had your say! ...and we listened`... Coastliner 700 gets a large number of route and timetable alterations from the 4th of May. Southsea removed entirely- the route will now start from the Hard Interchange in Portsmouth 3 buses now required to get from...

    The next station is...!

    Amendments have been made to Rule 1: As ever, these come into effect after the current leg is completed.

    The next station is...!

    A reiteration that all entries should be easily distinguishable from any other text to avoid confusion, by either bold typeface or leaving an empty line either side. I'll add this to the rules.

    The next station is...!

    I did think this had already been addressed... Pick up and set down only stops count as normal stops to avoid confusion. In which case, we return to Manchester Piccadilly, the last post before the invalid submission.

    Virgin First Class meals

    My fault- I read it as from Glasgow, and that the 15:40 was implied.

    Virgin First Class meals

    Hidden with the timetables: http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/assets/pdf/global/first-class-food-service-2013.pdf You would be served cold Light Bites to Preston, then (I think) an Evening Meal after Preston. To not offer it to passengers already on board would be ridiculous.

    A Travelcard that isn't a Travelcard...

    More than 2 months on from the incident, the wheels clunked into action at Southern and I finally received my £3.40 back with a £10 goodwill voucher. Not before... 1. Writing a rather long e-mail of complaint to Southern, including an attachment with scans of the tickets. 2. Following...

    The next station is...!

    Rule changes always come into force after the current leg is completed. I've investigated more into yesterday's situation. Yes, there was a failing in the rules which led to what happened yesterday and I apologise as a result. Even more so to Trainfan344 who lost points on a leg that became a...

    The next station is...!

    Sorry for not checking up on this recently. Time to clear up a few things. I thought this was clearer. It doesn't depend on the station, it depends on the route out of a station. If you must pass through a station already passed through, then the leg is over, as per rule 4. When...

    A Travelcard that isn't a Travelcard...

    Exactly as I expected. I'll try contacting Southern tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

    A Travelcard that isn't a Travelcard...

    I wasn't sure whether this belonged in this forum or the other fares forum, so feel free to move it if necessary. I purchased 2 Adult and 2 Child O-P Day Travelcards on the Southern website with FAM discount. I collected these from a TVM at Chichester station. The Adult tickets came out as...
