    Was I overcharged for an excess?

    Gaelan said: (Curse ScotRail and their unwillingness to accept the eTickets everyone else handles with no problem - but I digress) Reading up on the Scotrail site looks like they are moving towards having a ticket before boarding and is this "mticket " the same as an eticket? and if so why...

    Was I overcharged for an excess?

    "On the way to Edinburgh, I purchased an Off-Peak Day Return for £12.65 " You are saying you bought your ticket on the train for the journey you were on.? If correct then you are telling them you have committed the offence of boarding a train without a ticket? Could be repercussions!

    Railcard Website Error

    Yes one can apply within 30 days of expiry (3 yr senior) and we were 15 days before. On the upside didnt apply 30 days before. I have sent again asking why and reminding them I have not had a reply from when I first reported it.

    Tfl Investigation letter for Smoking

    Miles off topic but I have lived in this country for over 70 years and wonder what the sign is in the second picture just to the right of the man in the brown jacket. Silhouette of a man in a red circle with a line through. On its own with no indication, does it just mean NO people allowed...

    Strike Day ticket validity

    My thoughts were a bit stronger than that;) That is a bit nearer;) I didnt do that but in retrospect he probably doesnt know who RMT are You probably could but as it was in reply to me saying I CANT get a later train it was probably meant to say "if your train is cancelled AND you...

    Northern's Problems in the North West

    I have read the last few weeks posts reasons and excuses but they have not had enough drivers for the last 8 to 10 months. This is not a new problem just an old one exacerbated by the implementation ( or not) of the old new time table and now we see they cant even operate to the replacement...

    As a non rail person I would just say that the problem with no drivers and consequently cancelled trains began long before the change to the timetable.
