That sounds like the issue to me. As far as I can tell she wants to reserve a berth from Paddington to Par, clerks might be looking for a product called a 'room' or 'cabin' to Newquay. Also if the main ticket office at Paddington is closed then the smaller one is likely open on one of the...

The consequence for the passenger is exactly the same

Yep, I think you can even get them for the limited counted places when there's no seats. But I didn't want to over complicate things too much, especially as they were only available from a ticket office/TVM for a while, and I didn't know if that was fixed. Hope so, but unless it's changed...

The one journey can utilise an unlimited number of trains. Reservation prices are generally fixed yes, only Nightjet use dynamic pricing now but that's not relevant for this journey. Uniquely for Eurostar and TGVs there is a limited quota but you'll find plenty of availability in advance.

No, additional sales staff are selling pre-printed tickets across the Merseyrail network due to large queues at their normal sales points (which continue to offer the full range of tickets as they would on any other day). I don't know why you seem to be replying with so many questions, as I said...

The use of the word "withdrawn" is arguably misleading, but this is presumably referring to Aintree ticket office being out of action, nothing more. The rest is from forum members.

Nope, and if I go through the process of making another booking it clearly lists Uber Cash + Amex and worked fine for past month or so. I was also given a bunch of counted place coupons despite saying I didn't want reservations and them not being required so hopefully it was just a glitch on...

No, there are queue busters in place at many stations. I didn't say it's okay, but posters on here appear to have invented a scenario where a customer goes to a ticket office, asks for a usual ticket and is refused sale and told £6 or nothing. That has not happened and the RMT have not claimed...

There was never any instructions to refuse sale of normal tickets as far as I can see. This is just this forum being overly keen to criticise Merseyrail, and they have been overcharging racegoers like this for years. The only possible exception might be for passengers starting their journey at...

It appears my card was charged for a ticket purchased on Wednesday despite having enough gift card balance to cover the cost. Could be user error but I don't remember having to do anything previously

Aside from the one at Aintree being closed I can't see any indication Merseyrail are not offering the full range of tickets from their normal ticket offices. During Aintree they have many extra staff selling these "special" tickets every year.

Again, if it is valid on the same trains and can be sold with an itinerary, then fining people for taking other trains doesn't make anything simpler. Quite the opposite, in a small minority of cases genuine mistakes will happen, and are less likely to be an issue.

All tickets being anytime. An all walk-up system is way simpler than an all advance system, and fining people for taking the wrong train doesn't make things simpler.

LNER could tweak the algorithms for Advance fares all they like, but it wouldn't have any connection to the trial removal of Off-Peak tickets. Not a single person is going to make an additional journey by train because of more expensive, less flexible tickets, which is the only thing being...

It's not possible for an increase in fares and removal of flexibility to fill more seats. I see no logic there? It will deter passengers, but revenue will rise because those remaining will be fleeced for large sums of money..

I've heard it happened once in the latter days of through tickets to Channel Islands. Allegedly there was a massive delay on a (Virgin/BR) cross country service to Poole so passengers with such tickets were put on a flight from Birmingham International.

Using underground zonal tickets still won't offer Off-Peak fares. Finsbury Park national rail works

As I said "is the automatic flag they've deliberately set wrong for their trains in the timetable data" this is linked to the train, not to any journey or ticket. This is of course wrong as LNER themselves will confirm, but all sites will display this under facilities for that service.

Iarnrod Eireann do the same but manage to make it slightly clearer (Image shows a train with no tickets available on irishrail.ie) 1711663682 It actually doesn't, the only reference to "compulsory" reservations is the automatic flag they've deliberately set wrong for their trains in the...

It's just the name of the person who paid for ToD, it's not like rovers or seasons.
