    Super off peak travel card not being offered despite apparent validity

    Tomorrow, I wish to go from Leighton Buzzard to West Brompton at around 11am (and return later) As far as I can tell, my best bet would be to get a Milton Keynes Super off peak day travel card (as I believe you can start/stop short in travel cards?) But when I put MK to West Brompton into the...

    I wish to buy a season ticket from tomorrow (Wednesday) for my Smartcard. But when I try to order online it says "Unavailable: Available from 01 September, edit your start date to allow time for delivery." Am I being thick or is "delivery" irrelevant with a Smartcard? Do I get my season...

    Poor Delay Management (Or how to lose friends and alienate people)

    Delays are inevitable on a railway. Nobody should expect trains to run on time all of the time. Sensible people will acknowledge that train companies are often not responsible for a delay.

    Change of ticket Excess

    I've just excessed the outward portion of a super off peak return (full railcarded price £12.55) to an off peak return (full railcarded price £16.50) I was charged £3.95...is this right? I thought it would be half the difference as I was only excessive one portion.

    Hypothetical Delay Repay Question

    Suppose, by some misfortune, you were to be delayed by more than 2 hours on both the outbound and return legs of a return ticket... Would you be entitled to twice the amount paid for the tickets in delay repay? (Given that it is compensation and not a refund?)
