    Using data from apps like Trainline as part of fare evasion prosecutions

    Mod Note: Posts #1 - #19 originally in this thread. I will not comment on if the prosecution proposed by TIL is valid or not. Hoever I am very concerned (if true) by your comments about previous Trainline history. As I can see it this data could only be legally obtained by you authorising them...

    Journey Planner Missing Services

    I have noticed that both NRE and the TOC sites seem to omit various services at times. As an example if I am unable to collect my wife from Gatwick on March 24th (chance I could of course be in self isolation) she may just miss the 1709 to Southampton Central and then on to Wareham, yet the...

    Revenue Protection Inspectors Your Rights?

    I will preface this by saying I do not in anyway condone fare evasion, but I have read enough stories on this forum to know that they are not all due to the passenger. I must admit have never seen one from a current TOC, I am not here talking about uniform staff, guards etc but plain clothes...

    East Croydon to Wareham via Barnham February 2

    I am hoping one of the ticket experts on here can explain how things work during engineering work closures. I will be taking this journey as the return leg of an off peak return from Wareham via Barnham (far cheaper than the SWR fare). This is a day the Brighton line is closed which I was aware...

    Watford North Curve in use 11/12 January

    I have just seen on the "Ian Visits" website that the curve is in use this weekend for anyone looking for a reasonably rare couple of hundred yards of track...

    Is the concept of Delay Repay bizarre?

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/barriers-to-claiming-delay-repay.197887 I will claim whilst the facility exists but in my opinion the whole concept is bizarre. If I travel by bus or coach or my own car and get held up then its tough I can not claim from Highways...

    Platform Tickets?

    Do such things even exist these days? I assume not as I was told by the booking office at West Drayton some years ago they do not. I ask as in March on my way back from stewarding a steam tour the previous day I intend to try and film and photograph a Steam Dreams trip out of Paddington and...

    When is Off Peak (at least in London)

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I am confused by the morning peak timings and I wonder if one of the experts on here can explain. I first noticed it last month when I needed to take the 0440 from East Croydon to St. Pancras to steward a railtour from Euston. I checked both NRE and...

    Easy to make a mistake when barriers left open

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/why-is-advice-offered-to-those-who-cheat-the-system.194810/ I would echo this But even where the system is clear (or so you would think) there is still confusion. What is the point in having barriers that are then left open. Exited...

    Delay Repay Queston on an East Croydon to Wareham via Barnham

    Today I came back from East Croydon to Wareham (or tried) on an off peak return. Left EC at 0953 and the journey planner and my itinerary with my ticket said change at Havant (SWR on Portsmouth line diversion). This seemed illogical because going to Southampton Central meant if SWR had issues...

    SWR Delay Repay Semi Hypothetical Question

    A friend who is staying with us travelled from Diss to Wareham yesterday (bargain at £99.40 off peak single). The printed itinerary said get the 1405 from Waterloo, despite the fact that I thought it would have said the 1335 (as did SWR when I filled in her delay repay) anyway she did what she...

    Wareham to Haywards Heath poor NR Journey Panner Response

    I checked the above journey for the Bluebell Gala in October and NR Journey Planner gives £18 return with senior railcard which seems cracking deal. SWR seem to be on diversion via Portsmouth Line Checked for tomorrow as day is suddenly free for me and it is £42.75 by via Clapham Junction. Check...
