Continental Europe in general have a more tight interchange time and worked. 7 minutes is still doable for first timers just following the signs and in a brisk walk. It's often better to minimise journey time on a "fast" transport mode. Meanwhile, many Swiss stations with more than 1 island...

London Terminals is a term for fare purposes, which gives a bit of flexibility and less complexity on station name printing on tickets. So Vauxhall despite not a terminal but being so “central” to London, is defined as London terminal to charge a “London” premium, and validates any “+ via...

TfL Rail services means all rail based services run by TfL which means all LU, LO, Elizabeth and DLR services. Tram is deemed as similar to bus so not counted as rail. But TOC staff priv gives free travel on tram anyway. Anyway, training on the fine details on revenue is deemed difficult to...

To be honest, british connection time is already far more generous than continental European ones. For example, using the case of Bellinzona in south Switzerland, having the same platform number and bigger size than Stafford, the interchange time is only 2 minutes even with EC, IC and regio...

You probably did a split ticket for Hayes & Harlington - Bishop Stortford and a Hayes & Harlington - Heathrow T5 would be easy to purchase and the price be much lower in this sense.

The Surrey Q option is definitely via Stratford for route available via Dalston on London Overground. Yet, it’s a bit tricky to argue to include the Elizabeth Line core section between Liverpool Street and Whitechapel for the transfer to via Surrey Quays.

To retain flexibility of travelling on both ECML and West Anglia route, op can consider buying to Highbury & Islington where both via Stratford or Finsbury Park would he valid. And that’s same price as buying to Finsbury Park. In conjunction with a zone 1-2 travelcard, then all routes towards...

Yes, you can use the tickets starting from any station within the 23 Ward area of Tokyo to any station in the city region of Sendai. Hamamatsucho is only like 3 stations away on Yamanote Line to Tokyo Station, so it's not going to be difficult. The fares from all stations in a city region to...

Rather than call in, would be easier to do in writing in web form complaint, to let the staff to read and understand the idea before giving you a call back. It’s likely that you are unlucky to get to a staff not willing to dig into details over tight time of phone conversations

OP's off-peak ticket is only bears only B1 restriction, which only bars the use of the ticket before 0930, but not have an afternoon peak restriction. Sadly, it's another case of (undertrained) Northern staff only applying metro area (West Yorkshire) PM restrictions to any tickets, and...

https://x.com/milliesadsieee/status/1833408530822386142?t=Kp2jEsprQmIR0d9uI2JN8Q&s=19 By looking at the X message today, there is a exceptional crowding on a 14-minute late train from Northampton, and then surprisingly having exit ticket checks which further delay passenger's journey. I just...

I am not surprised with that late hours (after 2230), that station is unstaffed as there are not many services from Kent (which is the main aim for revenue protection)

Try using via Stratford, or even use change at Stratford International if using National Rail Journey Planner

It’s probably cheaper for OP to get (1) and then get top up with a Lewisham - London Underground 1-2 ticket at £13.40. It is permitted route from Tonbridge to go via New cross and Surrey Quay onto London Overground to Peckham Rye. Which OP can do a non stop journey to both Victoria/London...

It's likely a gateline programming error by London Northwestern at the gateline, to wrongly categorising bus team pass as not valid as they only think of their own but not London Overground. I suspect you may need to go two ways, one complain to LNWR and then one internal email to the union /...
