    Please can anyone tell me why the 14.24 to Mallaig says it’s delayed on National Rail live trains, but the Oban train says it’s on time when they are joined until Crianlarich? I’m waiting for the Mallaig train.

    West Yorkshire Daysaver

    I’m looking at getting a West Yorkshire Family Day Saver on Monday. Ticket restriction: ‘Tickets are not valid on services Monday to Friday between 16:01 and 18:29.’ Does that mean I can’t board trains between these times or can’t be on a train between those times? So could I board 15.54...

    17 year old no ticket

    My son, age 17, travelled from York - Manchester and was caught on arrival without a valid ticket. He’s no doubt told them a load of rubbish about how he had a ticket but lost it.

Points were awarded for stations visited and depended on the difficulty of visiting...
