    North Wales Coast - VK Restriction

    Does anybody have any idea why the online booking engines aren't reflecting the latest VK restriction code? Say for example, Flint to London Off Peak Return. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=FLN&dest=EUS&rlc=SRN&expert=on&flow=4&multi=0&fare=3&tkt=SVR VK says allowed into London...

    Interesting WMT Fare Change

    Rarely post, but don't seem to have seen discussion of this change (and now reversal of the change!). https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/west_midlands_trains_regulated_f?nocache=incoming-1426066#incoming-1426066 Cock up or conspiracy?

    Daughter new job in Manchester

    Apologies for delving into a forum area that I have little knowledge about! My daughter is leaving the rural East Midlands (she's thrilled!), and going to start a new role in Manchester.
