    Liverpool PlusBus

    I'm off to Liverpool soon, and was just wondering if the Liverpool PlusBus includes the football special buses to and from Goodison Park and Anfield. The PlusBus page doesn't indicate that they are excluded but I don't really know if that can be relied on. Anyone??

    Revenue protection in the news

    I don't know if there's push going on, or if the article about SJPNs in The Times at the weekend has prompted something, but there was a piece on BBC1's The One Show last night (Monday) about Northern revenue protection and fraud investigation. And then this morning my local radio station (BBC...

    Two delays with one ticket (in same direction), one claim or two?

    A few days ago I made a journey using a return ticket. I broke my outward journey and was delayed by more than 15 minutes at that stage. After an hour or so, I continued my journey and was again delayed by in excess of 15 minutes. My retrun journey was not delayed by a qualifying amount of time...

    EMR Delay Repay

    I need to make a claim with EMR for DR, but their online form doesn't provide an option for having used contactless as the ticket type. I've messaged them through their website to find out how to proceed but after two weeks still not had a response. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

    Curtailed journey - refund or delay repay?

    My journey a few days ago was from London Liverpool Street to Sheringham (for an onward bus journey), using an Advance ticket. The train from Norwich to Sheringham was terminated short at Cromer due to a track problem, and we were advised to wait an hour for the next train to Sheringham...

    Sneaky fare increases on Thameslink

    I have discovered this morning that from last Sunday there have been some quietly imposed fare increases on Thameslink, with afternoon restrictions imposed on some Off Peak Day Returns, and possibly other changes that I haven't spotted yet. As a result, I made a journey from Luton to West...

    LNER fare rises and single leg pricing on many flows, from 11 June

    LNER have announced that they will be removing most return tickets from 11 June as part of the widening of single leg pricing. A bit more detail, but not too much, on the LNER website. Edit: For clarity, the changes were implemented on 11 June and discussed from page 8 onwards; broadly...

    Tyne & Wear Metro - South Shields station

    Is the current South Shields station the second or third station since the Metro came into existence? I recall that it used to be rather closer to the river than it is now, with just an overrun beyond the station (probably where the depot is now). But I have recently read comments about a 'new'...

    Fares reform idea (from Twitter)

    I saw the following posted on Twitter (by @sc_wadsy) and felt the forum may find it interesting as a matter for discussion. I've condensed it down from a series of tweets (originally posted nearly 4 weeks ago) for ease of reading.

    Nexus ticketing

    It looks like I need to be in the Tyne and Wear are next weekend, so would appreciate any advice on ticketing for the Metro. Can contactless payment cards or Google Pay be used on the metro and, if not, what day tickets are available and how easy are they to purchase? Also, is there any risk of...

    Battersea extension distances

    Apologies if I've missed it by not searching properly but does anyone have the official distance from Kennington to Battersea Power Station? Is it the same in both directions, with the potential for a slightly longer distance southbound? Thanks.

    Metrolink contactless payment

    I’m due to be in Manchester next week and will need to use Metrolink. I’ve seen a bit of mention of them now accepting contactless payment so would like to know whether I can simply use my debit card or Apple Pay or Google Pay for this?
