I really don't see why the Railway, as an industry, should be responsible for providing you with a charger, a printer or anything else. If YOU choose to have your ticket in electronic form on YOUR device then YOU are responsible for making sure that YOUR device works. Nobody else. If it is old...

Mmm. Well spotted. I'll check back in the records to see what is what. Now I think about it it may well be 20% off after all. I think it was 10% originally but then changed to 20% to standarise with other offers at the time.

Yes, my fault, a typo. It's 10% with Transdev Treats. I've had 20% stuck in my head for some reason.

This. In the case of the KWVR, there are a number of reasons around this decision: 1) The add on through ticket is only available where there is a Route Any Permitted Anytime or Off Peak Day Return fare. It is not available on Single, "Open" Returns, Advance or TOC Only, e.g Northern Only...

The costs of handling card payments do vary considerably depending on the size of your business. Even a modest heritage railway, with good turnover, and a mix of online bookings and onsite sales, will get far better transaction rates from the card payment providers than a smaller owner operated...

No, it's because it doesn't happen. I check tickets and railcards, rigorously, every day at work. I don't think I have ever seen anyone with a 16-17 Saver select 16-25 Railcard by mistake. If I have, I certainly don't remember and could certainly count the instances on the fingers of one hand...

No. Because it's the exemption from having CDL which has been withdrawn. An operator can run hinged door stock without an exemption as long as it has CDL. You need an exemption from the rules if you want to run stock without CDL. They had an exemption from the rules. The exemption has been...

No. As I read it, it means that WCRC cannot use any vehicles that are not fitted with CDL, with immediate effect.

Sadly not the 101. The 101 has developed an intermittent air fault which needs closer attention to investigate and rectify. The Railbus operated yesterday, but was full and standing on some trips. The 144 will be out today and tomorrow, with I think the Railbus again on Friday.

Whilst the Pontefract Baghill to York "Not Via Leeds" fares are no doubt intended to be used on the few direct trains a day, the same fares can also be obtained with an origin of "Pontefract Tanshelf or Monkhill" and it would be difficult to argue those are not valid via Castleford and then...

Well you could perhaps argue not as there is no way of getting from any of those stations to Leeds on a TPE service. But I am never quite sure how starting short etc works in situations such as this. How can you start short if you can't get there using the ticket in the first place? 1703330151...

There has been an update on fares on these new services:

Indeed, and without wanting to veer too much off topic, the same applies in other grades too. Guards at Avanti and SWR are on more than 50% more pay than Guards at Northern and TPE (who are two of the lowest paid in the industry). Avanti and SWR no doubt work more hours or have inferior Ts and...

Normally PayRoll have more time to work on the calculations ( i.e. the agreement is made and then it is agreed that it will be paid "on the first available" date, which may be 2 months away - not 1 week away!) and less of a period of time to go back and calculate. Most calculations like this...

Many thanks.

Are the diagrams available without having to log in to Facebook and also be a member of the particular Facebook group?

It may not entirely be the end of the matter. If your ticket was a digital e-ticket (purchased via The Trainline, for example) then the operator may investigate any other ticket purchases you have made which have railcard discounts applied and ask to see a valid railcard for those journeys too...

The 7 Day Railway Sunday working arrangements referred to in the April document were for "Committed Sundays" i.e. Overtime on top of the hours already worked. I.e., if you do 35 hours a week Mon to Sat then you would have Compulsory Overtime on a Sunday at a max of 1 every 3 weeks. Thus there...

My take on it is that the "we'll impose the changes anyway" threat was probably related to ticket offices and station staff more than anything else as that was a redundancy and whole new job role scenario. Now that's been blown away that isn't an issue. For everyone else it would be very...

No, they will push for Committed Sundays (i.e. Compulsory Overtime) as that is far far cheaper overall.
