    Checking a cross-London/round-central-London routing

    The answer depends on the result of the fares check! You could go through the NFM64 fares database and work it out for yourself, or do the much easier method of using the Routeing Point Calculator to do the fares check for you. In this specific case, both Routeing Points (RPs) pass the fares...

    Delay Repay and the Isle of Wight

    Yes - officially you’d be 14 minutes late and you wouldn’t be eligible for Delay Repay. Yes but not for that reason! Delay Repay is claimed from the operator who delayed you - Wightlink is not a Train Operator and you’re subject to their compensation scheme instead, which doesn’t pay out for...

    Delay Repay where a short final leg is abandoned

    Sorry, let me try rewording my last sentence - appreciate my previous wording was unclear! If OP intends to travel from Tring to Watford North (changing at Watford Junction, of course!) then misses their connection, they mention they would walk to their final destination. If the walk from...

    Delay Repay where a short final leg is abandoned

    I’ve had delays on SWR before where I’ve only travelled the likes of Fratton to Bedhampton on a Havant to Portsmouth Stations season ticket. As long as you’ve put your journey in as to Watford Junction (not Watford North), there’s no issue with simply using the form. If your final destination...

    Children’s fares on London Underground

    Merstham is slightly cheaper at £35.60 total - the two children travel for £2 each and the adult fare is £15.80 each instead.

    Is the All Line Rover being increased?

    Unless the tourist isn’t from the UK!

    Heathrow-Orrell

    At £121 per person for a BritRail England Flexipass (2 days in 1 month), it would definitely be more flexible but not cheaper. GB Eurail One Country Passes are not offered due to the already existing availability of BritRail Passes. EDIT: I of course forget the last mile - BritRail England...

    Ticket machine with foreign credit card

    Following a recent change, c2c now uses eTickets. https://www.c2c-online.co.uk/media-centre/latest-news/e-tickets-now-available-to-c2c-customers/

    Who sets the fare?

    Having a look at the 490, it looks like it might actually be quicker than the train via Hayes & Harlington if Terminal 5 is OP’s starting point. Plus there’s only the one change at Feltham after you’re out of Heathrow! EDIT: Just realised OP is starting from Heathrow Central - possibly the...

    Out of Gatwick, back into Heathrow

    Except that Reading Buses takes the approach that because the service is split in Frimley(?), it’s £2 for each half, making £4 each way.

    Gatwick Airport Oyster Fare Issue on 20th Jan Closure

    Let’s just hope the ticket doesn’t get demagnetised :lol:

    Gatwick Airport Oyster Fare Issue on 20th Jan Closure

    Which, when combined, offers a £14.70 Gatwick Airport to London Underground Zones 1-2 route NOT UNDERGROUND. Despite its validity, I can already see a problem with trying to present a seemingly self-contradictory ticket to LU staff!

    TfW website selling tickets that are not valid?

    Considering it’s an Advance, I’d say the likelihood of having the ticket without a valid itinerary is exactly zero! (Even the likes of a Flowbird ticket machine would’ve sold it against an itinerary.)

    Railcard Prices

    Southern offer a Unizone ticket covering travel in and around either Brighton or Worthing for students. And, of course, this one’s age-dependent rather than by student status, but the entirety of England and Wales has the 16-17 Saver season discounts!

    15th jan mersey rail free travel

    Which calls the ticket given a rail travel voucher - not to be confused with the Rail Travel Voucher (RTV) of the same name that can be used as payment on the railway!
