    This was already discussed in the thread about changes to the NRCoT: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/new-edition-of-the-national-rail-conditions-of-travel-effective-2-april-2024.263749/

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

    TrainSplit will work out its fee based on the cheapest available through ticket(s), and will combine through Advance Singles in each direction if that works out cheaper for the customer to use as the basis for computing the commission.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    The suggestion in this very thread is that they're accepted without quibble when they do actually end up being issued to bonafide E-Ticket and aren't actually uncollected ToD. If Merseyrail don't have the staff to cope with volumes of passengers doing this, then that sounds very much like a...

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    LNER are just following the data in RCS, as they should. 2250 -> 1378 is E-Ticketable for ticket type code V2X route 452. That's down to Avanti, nobody else. Let's not start asking fare setters to make these flows paper-only, they're entirely valid if issued to E-Ticket.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    Formerly? :P It's all well and good them removing the tweet, but they've done nothing to solve the underlying problem here

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    The fare-setting TOC marked the ticket (which is to the group station) as E-Ticketable in RCS at the group-level, in this instance.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    Something I hadn't noticed earlier, but has this statement come from Merseyrail, or from Trainline? It appears to use Trainline's mark, brand colours and a font that's quite similar to Lineto's Circular.

    LNER to pilot removal of Off-Peak tickets

    I agree with this, but do think there's a lot we could do before resorting to charging for them. For example, requiring retailers to make it very easy to cancel a reservation that's no longer needed (perhaps asking on the day "Do you still intend to use these reservations?") and make new ones as...

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    When we talk about "fares simplification", this is the sort of thing that needs to be simplified away. Not off-peak tickets.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    What if I buy my E-Ticket from a TOC, is that okay then? :D Yeah, it is. I'm not convinced anything will change anytime soon though. They need to be dragged kicking and screaming into $currentYear.

    Avanti West Coast Cancellations

    Can't wait for WCML single-leg pricing. Let's get rid of all those pesky good-value West Mids PTE tickets too that are inconveniently valid on Avanti's services, bin them all off and replace with 50 or so tiers of Advance tickets so that we can do surge pricing without the constraints of a...

    Network Rail removes Islamic message on King's Cross display boards after fierce criticism

    I don't dispute it has been criticised. But the BBC's article acknowledges and documents the criticism, the reasoning for the criticism (as well as some of the limited support the message got) in a much more sensible, grown-up and nuanced way, as does the NSS's own coverage and Humanists UK's...

    Network Rail removes Islamic message on King's Cross display boards after fierce criticism

    Come on: Sometimes it's worth having a bit of a think about the bigger picture, like the way in which the issue has been presented, even if there is some truth included within the writing. The article is full of sensationalist nonsense. Network Rail weren't "slammed", where is the evidence to...

    Network Rail removes Islamic message on King's Cross display boards after fierce criticism

    I don't think that suggestion was made at all, but it's a poor quality source that has repeatedly flouted the Ofcom Broadcasting Code and exists solely to generate engagement by whipping up a frenzy of controversy about most of the issues it discusses. This isn't simply my personal opinion...

    Network Rail removes Islamic message on King's Cross display boards after fierce criticism

    1 Corinthians 9:24 is more apt for Euston. Obviously, the prize is a seat on a train that was announced 2 minutes before departure

    Finding ticket number before collecting CCSTicket

    Well it will, won't it? All of my ToD-collected CCST tickets have the CTR printed on the bottom left of them underneath the price!

    Finding ticket number before collecting CCSTicket

    My ToD knowledge is somewhat rusty, and not what I work on day-to-day, but I don't think the ticket numbers will exist until you collect them due to the way that the ToD indirect fulfilment works. Tickets are only """sold""" at the point of collection. Which brings me on to my next suggestion...

    TPE irregularity report - no railcard

    In addition to this change, it should be a "16-25 railcard"

    CrossCountry E-tickets

    It'd probably make the pricing manager's life easier if you could link to the specific fares on BRFares, or confirm their ticket type codes
