    Night riviera pricing

    The pricing structure for the Night Riviera changed in 2022. Where you previously purchased a berth-inclusive ticket at various price points, you now have to buy a walk up ticket and the berth supplements are at various price points. The only real advantage of this approach for customers is...

    Concerning announcement on LNER regarding tickets

    Hull Trains themselves are saying: That's a bit better and sort of acknowledges the right to re-routeing, but doesn't help anyone who turns up at Kings Cross in time for the 20:30 and finds their only option is the 21:00 LNER as far as Doncaster, then a 45 minute wait for a Northern service to...

    Edinburgh/Edinburgh Park Ticket Validity?

    Routeing Groups generally have no relation to Station Groups used for pricing. For example: There's a Banbury routeing group, containing Banbury and Kings Sutton, but there's no Banbury Stations fares group.

    GCSE certificates from 1995

    It could be any one of several exam boards. The best thing to do is contact your old school with what subjects you need the certificates for and what year you left and they should be able to tell you which exam board(s) were involved. GOV.UK has links to the current awarding bodies (and...

    TfGM contactless

    Just to add to this, if you hadn't touched in at a tram stop before the RPI scanned your card, you would automatically be charged a £60 Penalty Fare. Touching in but not touching out within two hours incurs a charge of £4.60 (the maximum Single fare on Metrolink.) Bonus Points: According to...

    Cheapest Gold Card

    The cheapest Annual Season that qualifies for a Gold Card at present is between Hatton and Lapworth in Warwickshire, at a price of £212. You should be able to buy it at any Ticket Office in the Gold Card Area and you'll need to supply a passport photo if you don't already have a Season Ticket...

    Watford Junction to Havant Off Peak Day return any permitted fulfilled on GWR Touch card.

    Tickets that include a cross-London transfer (plus tickets with London Underground/DLR zonal validity, other than Travelcards) shouldn't be issued on Smartcards as LU gatelines aren't configured to accept them. Sounds like an error in the RCS (Retail Control Service) data by the TOC that sets...

    Magstripe one day travelcards

    One issue with that is that Zones 7-9 are currently fudged in rail industry systems by using a route code rather than as location codes like other zonal combinations are. As such, presumably a Travelcard with validity in Zones 7-9 that's loaded onto a Smartcard is likely to be interpreted by LU...

    "Any permitted route" - how to figure out permitted routes?

    Basic rules for a ticket with route Any Permitted or ".": The shortest route (or a route within 3 miles of the shortest route) according to the mileages in the electronic National Rail Timetable is always permitted. Transfers between stations other than by train count as 0 miles for these...

    ‘Bluesaver Return’

    If memory serves, White (aka Saver) days were something like: All Fridays Saturdays in July and August Three weeks around Christmas and New Year Maundy Thursday Saturday of the Late Spring Bank Holiday weekend Would need to see a printed NFM to confirm though, as the calendar was printed...

    WCML Open Access Applications Rejected

    The WSMR Mk3s all went to Chiltern, having been refurbished by Axiom Rail (formerly Marcroft Engineering) in Stoke during their time at WSMR and modified to support the AAR multiple working used by the Class 67s. The ATW ones, meanwhile, were refurbished by Pullman Rail in Cardiff.

    Not received ticket

    As Trainline's back-office system processes bookings in batches, it can take some time for tickets to be received. Initially this was up to four hours, though it's normally up to 15 minutes now. (London Northwestern use Trainline for their online booking system.)

    Thameslink code rather than etickets

    Without specific journey details it's hard to say, but as a general rule journeys involving a cross-London transfer shouldn't be issued as e-tickets as London Underground gatelines aren't equipped with barcode scanners.

    Southern keyGo error 89

    It needs a replacement card as the expiry date is coded at the time of production and can't be altered as far as I know.

    Special Offers Discussion

    The one I'm thinking of is a staff-operated TIS, so slightly less of an issue, though I now need to have a look and see what it does with the WMT promotional tickets.

    Southern keyGo error 89

    89 on a Cubic gate is Unknown Card Type, though it's possible it was a read error. Which station was it at, out of interest?

    Replacement Season Ticket Photocard

    Got to love it when Ticket Office staff make rules up! Replacements for tickets sold by third-party retailers (except TfL) can be issued at any station, providing they have the necessary ticket stock (a station in Greater Manchester is unlikely to have Network Gold Card stock, for example.)
