Other members are more knowledgable than myself but my belief is that you were entitled to ask Grand Central to reroute you under the PRO and you were under no obligation to purchase another ticket. I will, however, leave other members to work out what would have been the best course of action...

That’s what’s confusing me, £10.80 is the first fare listed in the results, but then there’s a “via zone 1 changing at West Hampstead and Willesden Junction” for a tenner?

Fare finder has no “avoiding zone 1” fare for this journey. Using contactless, if you go Redhill-Clapham Junction-pink reader-Southern to Watford Junction what can you expect to be charged?

But Guernsey, Jersey and IoM coins work in vending machines, do they not, so you can always get rid of them there. I’m sure I’ve found Baliwick Of Jersey 2p’s or IoM 20p’s in my till drawer that one of the colleagues has inadvertently taken in.

At my workplace we are told to call the supervisor to check all Scottish notes. One customer kicked off at a colleague, arguing that he was in a hurry and she was wasting time by calling a manager, and in any case she had to accept it because it was legal tender. After some debate with the...

Tesco returning to Sunderland city centre. Last time I was there the old unit inside The Bridges was still empty but the council have approved a planning application and they are opening a new store outside in the Market Square entrance later this year.

Of course he has, just like how in 2021 he said he had “no plans” to expand ULEZ to outer London…….

Depends on which news organisations you believe. Apparently there are documents in circulation at TFL which refer to a pay-per-mile scheme called “Project Detroit”. However, Khan has denied all knowledge of such a scheme, yet he is chairman of TFL……would the chairman of an organisation really...

Today I’ve received in the post the booklet listing all candidates, both for the Mayor and the London Assembley, and explaining how and when to vote, what forms of photo ID are acceptable, etc.

That is no longer policy at my store, if we have a group of young people who all look under 25 and one of them buys drink, we only have to ID that person unless we have clear evidence of it being a proxy sale.

So ten years from now are we going to have “Think 30” where we have to ID anyone we think looks under 30 because they might be 25, and five years after that it’ll be “Think 35” and so on? And how on earth , when faced with two people who look a similar age, are we supposed to decide whether to...

I’m having this issue as well.

Metrodle website currently down, can’t access it on any browser.

Yes but, you know, it’s just, you know, irritating, you know what I mean????….. It’s the same as the one I’ve mentioned before, I can’t abide people in convienience stores who hover right behind the person being served and then plonk their stuff on the counter the second the cashier finishes...

something I’ve often wondered, why do people say “no thanks, you’re alright”, or “ no, you’re fine when the cashier asks if they have a store loyalty card or whether they want a bag or the receipt? What does the customer’s perception of the cashier have to do with whether or not they need a...

Ok, just to clarify matters: 1. The ticket was a super off peak return Brighton to Southampton Central not via London, held as an e-ticket. 2. Using the outward portion, on Friday March 22nd I boarded at East Croydon, travelled to Clapham Junction and then onto Eastleigh. Looking at the BD...

Point noted. I first came across this ticket on these forums over ten years ago when I was asking for advice on splits and/or reducing the cost of my trip, and have used it ever since, as it generally comes up cheaper than buying a Croydon Eastleigh return. I’ve never really had any problems...

I’ve done the same with the one I’ve just seen, see if FB do anything about it this time.

After a few weeks absence (or at least just not appearing in my Facebook feed), the Oyster card post has reappeared in my feed, this time under the name “Only For London”

I held the return portion of a Brighton-Southampton Central super offpeak return routed not via London. I had been down to Mums for the weekend last month, travelling East Croydon-Clapham-Eastleigh. The return half was valid till April 24th so I still had an unused portion between Croydon and...
