    Term ticket validility

    There are two "routes" from Rock Ferry to MerseyRail All Zones in the fares data: - Any Permitted (the dot ".") - Merseyrail only The former is more expensive than the latter. It appears that your girlfried has (presumably mistakenly?) been sold the more expensive one. She should get this...

    Unusual sign at Littlehampton

    It’s as if privatisation never happened: (Image shows “British Rail” sign at Marylebone underground in 2017, though it was still there in February 2024).

    Delay Repay - Oxford <> Wakefield 13/04

    I'm afraid that you re only entitled to delay repay for actual on the day delays compared to the schedules of the services planned to operate on the day; and not compared to the the your original itinerary.

    Best value Sleeper fares from Fort William to Crewe 22/04/2024 and minor Rover query

    You could get a Sleeper supplement in Classic for both of you for £165.00 from the sleeper.scot website. Your girlfriend's InterRail ticket is valid with the Supplement. You could then buy an Off-Peak Single from Fort William to London Euston. The normal price is £149.00, though I'm not sure...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    @Krokodil someone has just refunded a Classic room, so there's one available at £285.00 (less expensive if you have railcard)

    Validity limit of [Place] Stations tickets

    According to RSP data: - the station name is Deansgate - the fare location is Deansgate G-Mex - the Manchester Stations group comprises "Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road or Deansgate" It looks like the fare location should be changed from Deansgate G-Mex to Deansgate.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    Etickets are much more popular than ToD

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    Merseyrail have publicly said that this is why they do not want to have eTickets on their network, as these tickets would then be sold by other retailers and they would have to pay 5%. Of course, they would save on card processing and fulfilment fees, but they are clearly concerned that this...

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    I worderd my response above very carefully, using "retailers" to indicate all retailers (both independent and TOC; and including barcode tickets issued both online and from stations) - so I was certainly not excluding the contribution that TOC retailers have made. Worth noting though that, as I...

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    There would be no costs for merseyrail to get handheld scanners or have scanners installed on gates. Zero. Zilch. Retailers have been offering to pay for these for years, via the very well established barcode cost recovery programme which is run by RDG on behalf of TOCs and retailers. Surely...

    Websites only offering ticket collection

    It looks like most (maybe all?) ticket types from Bournemouth to Stourbridge Town are not set up to be fulfilled as eTickets. Not even the ones that are "Not via London". This is the responsibility of the TOC (CrossCountry) to do this - retailers cannot override this. However, Bournemouth to...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Lots of people. It is selling better than it ever has, at least in the last 30 years. Mostly leisure travellers though, if you want to be a bit more specific.

    Alfreton to Holyhead ticket woes

    That's quite a tight itinerary to cross Warrington in (just 22 minutes). The data requires 25 minutes (5 minutes interchange at WBQ, 15 minutes from WBQ to WAC, then 5 minutes interchange at WAC) which will be why you cannot get this. Here's a similar itinerary which gets you to Alfreton 22...

    Moreton in Marsh to Birmingham- no fares available

    Assuming you need Anytime tickets, just buy a Moreton-in-Marsh to Evesham Anytime Day Return (£11.70), and an Evesham - Birmingham Stations Anytime Day Return (£25.10), for a total of £36.80. This is actually £0.50 cheaper than the equivalent through fare. Every service stops at Evesham, so no...

    E-Tickets on dead phones - a possible solution?

    Perhaps the solution is that those who want a paper ticket printed for them by the guard could pay extra (e.g. £1 per ticket) and this could then be used to fund (or part fund) the thing that they want (ability to print eTickets on stating the postcode and origin / destination (or some other...
