    Two advance tickets, missed return journey due to delays.

    Not actually had this happen before, so I'm not sure what the official line is. I'm currently travelling on an advance single to Thanet Parkway. I've missed my connection out of St. Pancakes due to GWR cancelling my service from Bristol. It's a through ticket, not that it really should make a...

    Cross London transfer with National Rail tickets

    What exactly are you entitled to when using a National Rail ticket with a Maltese Cross? Is it simply a zone 1 tube journey, with no entitlement to resume, or does it have to be between the relevant London termini? Eg: could a passenger with a Milton Keynes-Sevenoaks Off Peak return instead...

    When a Zones 1-9 Travelcard isn't a Zones 1-9 Travelcard...

    Had an issue this morning which I'm not sure how is best to deal with. We went to a Southern ticket office and asked for a Zones 1-9 travelcard. I've had one before, which I'm pretty certain was from the same ticket office and it was issued as an inboundary travelcard, I think from Chesham or...

    GTR Delay Repay following a Fail to Call

    Just had an email back from GTR regarding a delay on the 10th October. I was attempting to travel from Stevenage to Arlesley on the 12:44 service. This train was upwards of 30 late and the stops at Arlesley, Sandy and St. Neots were ripped out. I had to alight at Hitchin as a result. The next...

    Track Diagrams

    I'm after taking track coverage to the next level. I've currently got a Baker Atlas, however I've covered a fair bit of the track in that now-with the exception of areas I've never visited at all. The Quail atlases look perfect-however the North West & Midlands one (covering my local area) has...

    Person not known at this address

    Just recieved a phone call from a family member asking if I was expecting a letter from a FirstGroup TOC. I'm not expecting anything delay repay wise that I can think of, though I have got a job application ongoing, and have been told it's a completely different name on the letter. It's a...

    New Phone

    Right. Looks like my trusty Samsung Galaxy S6 of 2.5 years has given up. Was on charge in the kitchen at 89%, unplugged it and went to switch it on in the living room. Nothing. Not a thing. This was an hour ago, and it's still lifeless. I'm going to take it into Samsung tomorrow to look at...

    Nottingham Tram distances

    Trying to work out the mileage from my farce of a trip to Nottinghamshire 3 weeks or so back. Struggling to find the required mileages for the NET network-they aren't on the forum and a quick search has sent me to the distances just for the extensions. Help?:D I need: Bulwell-Hucknall...

    Advance fare pricing discrepency

    Not come across this before. Searched on NRE on my way into Liverpool for advances to and from Glasgo in October. This is a journey I do several times a year, so am familiar with the correct fares-NRE was displaying £7.90 railcard advances each way from Warrington to Glasgow. I've just gone...

    Purchasing of 16-18 Merseytravel Saveaways

    On the 31st July, Merseyrail introduced a requirement to have ID to purchase a 16-18 ticket. Since then, I've had several problems purchasing a ticket. The posters advertising the requirement clearly state that you must have a Merseyrail ID Card, Passport or Driving License. I've just...

    Merseyrail Young Person Tickets

    I've been made aware that, after 31st July, Merseyrail's 'Young Person' tickets-namely 16-18 Daysavers and 16-18 Saveaways will not be sold without photographic ID. Merseyrail are providing a photocard free of charge. The posters at stations say that a Driving Licence or Passport will be...

    Just a quick one (thanks to my strict shack scratching rules), anyone know how much the single fare is from Glan Conwy (or Llandudno Junction) to Dolgarrog or Llanrwst? Thanks in advance :)

    Penalty Fare Schemes

    I've just phoned the Customer Relations department of a TOC that operates a 'Penalty Fake' scheme-ie. One that the TOC wants people to think is a penalty fare, but is not regulated by the Penalty Fare rules (Merseyrail being an example of a TOC conforming to the official Penalty Fare rules)...

    185143-Trip Publishing Expected?

    London Midland shack clearout (04/02) First serious trip report , so feel free to give feedback. Not sure if I’m planning to make this a regular thing, and I’d be lying if I said I was doing this one to make Southport-Liverpool South Parkway feel a bit quicker! Here goes: I was awake at...

    What happens if a passenger of an invalid ticket has no means to pay for a new one?

    What happens if a passenger does not have the means to pay the anytime single to the next station? On EMT at super off peak time (for example) that could be quite a lot more than the passenger was expecting to be charged!

    This evening, there is a direct train from Kidderminster-Bedford, departing at 17:30. It is operated by London Midland with a class 2 headcode according to RTT. What's this all about? And can I board it with a walk up from New Street to International?

    Tram drivers using mobile phones

    I'm not naming the tram system I'm on as I'm not necessarily after getting the guy in trouble, but I've just alighted a tram where I had noticed the driver using a mobile phone while the tram was moving at around 70kph. Thinking of the recent tram derailment in Croydon (ok-that wasn't a driver...
