    Sorry I misread the post! Yes Birmingham only have about half their gates with direct domestic arrivals access IIRC.

    Easyjet news

    Domestic arrivals in Edinburgh is just ‘walk out through the departure lounge’ so there’s no gates that can’t access it. They tend to bus for any non-jetbridge stand though even if it’s right next to the terminal.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    That's a good idea (I thought I'd set it up that way originally but it seems not...) - done!

    Railforums Ticket Site Offering 1st Class Where none Exists.

    As @Adam Williams states, there's nothing broken on the RailUK Tickets site here. I'm going to lock this thread, more general discussion on TfW First Class should go elsewhere.

    NS national rail strike Friday June 6th (and some regions on June 10th & 12th)

    I'm reasonably sure a cancelled train will automatically trigger the option to rebook online for any service with availability, not just those with available Interrail quota. Officially, I don't think you can join at Brussels with an Amsterdam reservation but in reality if you explained to staff...

    Raileasy campaign for changes to the reservation system, to make it easier to show the cheapest fares

    Please lets not derail this thread with TVM interface ideas, these can be posted in our Speculative Discussion forum. Your 'idea' isn't possible at the moment in any case, retailers aren't permitted to offer a TVM-style fare selection without going through a journey planner of some description.

    Expansion of LNER 70-min flex trial area ("Simpler Fares")

    I have no problem with the ECML running at a surplus (and I agree it both is and should be a business, albeit one with Government funding and arms-length oversight), but not in the way LNER (and by extension by not intervening, the DfT), are choosing to achieve that at present. I think there's...

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    There was a (now-fixed) upstream bug affecting any searches for Travelcard-held fares yesterday morning - so that makes perfect sense in terms of the timescales. You shouldn't have issues hopefully moving forward with similar searches.

    No, anything you select in the Advanced dialog will apply to all passengers in the search.

    Driving well below the speed limit

    I don't think that second comment is fair. Equalising the occasional negligence of emergency vehicles with the occasional negligence of drivers generally is doing the emergency workers a disservice. Reckon I can count on one hand the number of truly negligent acts I've personally witnessed by...

    Harrow & Wealdstone to Wembley Central

    It's unlikely to but the interavailability on that section is pretty well known in my experience; you shouldn't have any issues being let through. You won't be the only person walking up there to avoid the queues at Central so I'd be amazed if there wasn't at least one staff member at the...

    Denmark trains - are these interchange times doable?

    All of those should be absolutely fine - Even at Aarhus, comfortably the largest and busiest station you interchange at, you can easily interchange between the furthest platforms in under 5 minutes.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    I think in reality we’d give them a minimum of 12 months from the end of validity so someone could download all their tickets for the last financial/tax year easily (I’m aware of at least one person who does this currently) - but I’m not aware of any imminent plan to set any sort of retention...

    Caledonian Sleeper Missing Carriage

    Yes - you should additionally be entitled to delay compensation (their max liability is the price of the ticket so id send a polite but firm email reminding them and requesting the other 75% for a 1hr+ delay)

    PlusBus Tickets

    I honestly believe they should regardless of operator or consession, yes - it's a depot's responsibility to educate drivers on local tickets applicable to the routes it serves.

    PlusBus Tickets

    Interestingly the Slough PlusBus explicitly excludes the TfL-managed 81, so that's a pleasant surprise that they're listed for Cheshunt.

    Questions About Delay Repay Claims and Third-Party Services in the UK

    I'm not surprised if the reaction to a commercial venture was equal or worse than to the nonprofit I was trying to start!

    Questions About Delay Repay Claims and Third-Party Services in the UK

    About a decade ago, and before most TOCs realised that donating Delay Repay to charity was a good thing to offer, I toyed with the idea of having a charity Delay Repay portal doing exactly this - essentially claiming the DR on the traveller's behalf and sending it on, with Gift Aid, to the...

    Do LNER Seatfrog upgrades include a seat + other questions.

    I think it (confusingly) might depend on operator - Seatfrog themselves aren't clear one way or the other. I've had no issue at all on LNER using my Seatfrog on a later train following disruption elsewhere causing me to miss the connection in to it. That or CrossCountry were just wrong :D

    Hoek to Amsterdam?

    It's super easy - just board the first train heading towards Rotterdam (they're every 20-30 minutes at that time in the morning going out, every 15 I think during the day for your return) from the metro station right outside the terminal. Stay on that for around 20 minutes and change at Schiedam...
