    Longest platform- platform interchange

    Do you have a problem with people discussing interchanges that are both advertised on TfL's maps and included in their fares system?

    Longest platform- platform interchange

    It's likely that in designing the route of a new line compromises have to be made to achieve the best interchanges, do a better interchange at Warren Street might have led to a worse interchange at Euston.

    Overspeeding incident at Grantham South Junction (RAIB investigation) -- 25/2/25

    But this was from a standing start at a station call where the driver should have had the signal in his eye line for a couple of minutes. This was much more likely to have been down to the driver being distracted.

    Restriction Code and Pricing: does it always mean a ticket is valid?

    Yes but they are not relevant to the OP.

    Should I appeal? Penalty Fare issued by West Midlands Trains

    Had you actually completed the purchase of the ticket at the time of the ticket inspection, so that you were immediately able to show the ticket? If the answer to that is yes, you should appeal because you were able to show a valid ticket and therefore there were no grounds to issue a Penalty...

    Restriction Code and Pricing: does it always mean a ticket is valid?

    No, for the reasons stated above concerning the Network Railcard. Because of the Network Railcard. See above. They are different ticket types and ticket type codes, and each could have a different restriction code related to it but in this case they have the same restriction code. The CDR is...

    Funicular points query

    @John Luxton is correct that each vehicle will have a double flanged wheels on the outer rail, with a broader unflanged wheels (more like a roller) on the inner rail. The shine on the inner rails across that junction give an indication of how wide the inner wheels are.

    Wrong tickets used - what will happen?

    As you had an Advance ticket for a later train, you could have changed this to travel on the earlier train as long as you did so prior to travel. You would have been charged the difference up to the cheapest ticket available for immediate travel plus a £10 change of journey fee. I believe that...

    Oyster validator question - Wembley Park to Leyton (avoiding zone 1)

    As you'll have tapped out to get out of Finchley Road that would seem advisable.

    Trivia: Highest location that each TOC/FOC serves or passes

    The surrounding land is a touch under 120m, and the elevation of the railway above that can be judged from the adjacent rail over road bridge having a clearance of 4.2m. I would say that puts the actual rail level at about 121m. And it's literally around the corner from where I grew up!

    Double deck trains - again ...

    Is that really true? I am sure there must be routes that are not accessible to 26m long IET stock due to platform curvature clearances.

    Mystery rail vehicle in Garden, Lewisham, SE London

    It (the thing in the garden, not on the viaduct) doesn't look anything like a 465 to me. Here's a screengrab showing what we're talking about:

    Redacting sensitive information within PDF files

    Isn't it better to post letters or whatever as an image rather than a pdf anyway? I certainly find it easier to look at the content of an image rather than download a pdf.

    Queries re Renewing Disabled Persons Railcard

    I would say it's fine, as a renewal. In the same way someone renewing an age related railcard doesn't have to provide new proof of age. This doesn't appear to be necessary. Yes, the discount is set to expire at the same time as your railcard so it needs to be renewed as well.

    Refund irregularity letter

    I think you're making a bit of a jump there. It is perfectly reasonable for someone living between Peterborough and Huntingdon to travel from both at different times.

    Refund irregularity letter

    So, guilty as charged (although not actually charged at this point). If a train is delayed you are entitled to claim Delay Repay compensation - this is NOT a refund, and should be claimed from the train operator, not the retailer.

    Forged Railcard (SWR)

    If he's got a 100% success rate I'd be inclined to ask how many cases have been involved. After all, 1 out of 1 is 100%.

    Cashless bus services.

    It would appear that some of us miss out on these when paying by card as well.

    Caledonian Sleeper Missing Carriage

    It was clearly stated to be a gesture of goodwill, so I don't see how it could be considered to be a refund or delay compensation.
