They are more difficult to forge. Losses due to forged notes have reduced since polymer came in.

Polymer notes have at least six security features built into them. UV lamps only test for one of those. Although technically not legal tender, EMR really shouldn't really be refusing to accept Scottish issued banknotes, in my opinion. They should train their staff better in how to detect...

What railcard do you possess? You you have to be at work for 9am or is that the time you're starting your journey from Chelmsford?

Didn't Labour say they were going to renationalise the railways if they won the 1997 election? I doubt we'll see anything too radical as a result of this.

BTP aren't going to get involved in a ticketing issue like this, unless there's far more to it than what we've been told.

In line with our forum rules, please start your own thread if you are in of assistance and we will be happy to help. We do ask that only one case is discussed in each thread as no two cases, however similar they might appear, are ever exactly the same. This also avoids confusion between cases.

I prefer @WesternLancer version. I would add a couple of things to it: 1. Add the exact Condition number 'I believe that under Condition 13.2 of the Natiional Rail Conditions of Travel the matter should have been dealt wiith through the payment of an Excess Fare'. 2. Mention in the reply that...

I'd expect a letter within a couple from Southeastern, but as noted above it can vary. In the meantime, while I appreciate this is easier said than done, try and put the matter to the back of your mind and get on with your life.

It's almost certainly not valid, but to be 100% certain we need to know the exact stations your ticket is from and to.

Of course but they would prefer to scrap the arrangement and charge separately. Stop maintaining pesky CCST readers on barriers too. Have you got any evidence to back this up, or is it your opinion?

I'm surprised that KeyGo is being enhanced in this way, given that Project Oval will effectively superceed it. That said, Oval seems to be well behind in being rolled out.

I don't see why not, as long as you possess both an Annual Gold Card and Network Railcard. I asked Southeastern and got a nonsense reply back. If I get time I'll go back to them but the problem is getting this sort of query to the right person who both understands the issue and has the...

I seem to remember there was a lot of backlash against HS1, or the Channel Tunnel Rail Link as it was known at the time. It was only renamed HS1 when it opened. When catching a Eurostar from Paris to Waterloo the train would speed along the high speed line between Paris and Calais at 186 mph...

The beggars are highly organised - to many of them it is their job. Pre-covid I'd walk from Kings Cross along the Grays Inn Road to my office. Every day, there was always a beggar outside the Pret on the corner of Grays Inn Road and Clerkenwell Road. He looked unkempt, wore tatty clothes, old...

Please start a new thread if you are in need of advice. We have a rule of only discussing one case in each thread to avoid confusion because experience has taught us that no two cases are every the same, however similar the night appear at first.
