I travel by train and know 100% that I have paid the correct fare. If the OP knows that they have also paid the correct fare, other than the three cases they have mentioned, then I would suggest that they clearly state that - and presumably their buying history will back that up from a short...

It sounds as though you need to claim Universal Credit and Carers Allowance. You cannot claim Attendance Allowance as that is a benefit for your grandma (although if she is unable to claim it or has lost capacity then someone can claim it on her behalf). You can keep the Universal Credit and...

Is anyone suggesting that SWR's cycle policy permits you to join a train with a bike at any station other than Waterloo if the train you are joining departed Waterloo between 16:45 and 19:00? Surely if that is the restriction, I need to find out what time it was timed to depart Waterloo to...

Are you saying that at no time have you been stopped and spoken to by a member of staff about a ticketing incident? What does the letter actually refer to? You seem to accept you have done something wrong as you paid the amount they requested. However, if you have paid an out-of-court...

If you have paid the amount requested, nothing further will happen other than they will hold your details on file so would be able to link this incident with any future ones. You can stop panicking about this. If you wish to not get stressed about this sort of thing in future, just make sure...

We all have to take some personal responsibility for things and I put to you (js123) that you knew all along that there should have been an expiry date on the card and that an error had occurred but you chose to ignore it hoping that you could claim that you assumed the card was valid until your...

If you were not asked for your name and address then I think the chance of anything happening is close to 0%. What evidence do they have that the person who purchased the ticket is the person who travelled? I regularly purchase tickets on my credit card for members of my family. If the train...

But that isn't the conclusion of the RAIB report. Identification of the immediate cause: Train 1T08 derailed because it struck washout debris. Para 72, page 67 The failure of the infrastructure was a causal factor. Paras 88 - 90, Pages 71 & 72

Interesting. Certainly not on the 1:50k but I'm not sure about the 1:25k here. Is it the track or the boundary?

Was recently in Bideford, Devon and saw that the 210m long* Bideford Railway Heritage Centre track is marked on the 1:25k Ordnance Survey map. I'm uncertain whether it is marked on the 1:50k map. It looks like it is but coincides with other markings and appears to be slightly south of where it...

And to be fair to the OP, I could see situations where you have a work colleague who drives in and you take a short journey to get to them. Unfortunate for the OP if that is the situation, as it gives them an additional hurdle in some ways.

Based on the information in your post, if you buy tickets costing less than £100 in a year (before the discount), the Club 50, if more than £100, Old Person card, as you call it.

Railcards bought online have a Start Date? The ones I've bought only have an Expiry Date, which is usually about 370 days after purchase. Maybe it depends on the type of railcard?

Can someone explain what "not fully signalled" means?

I use an "any card" retailer but I have always assumed that the presentation of a card provides a track of which card has been used to collect which could be used if there was some criminal activity in the purchasing/collection of tickets.

The sign I posted was from Jan 2021 but had been there since at least Aug 2019. There is a previous one which can be viewed but that wouldn't be relevant to this issue.

But that isn't what it says. "Mon to Fri off Peak. £5.00 Valid from 09:30 - must depart before 04:29 the following day." You didn't leave before 04:29 so you were charged according to the contract you accepted by parking there. You can view the sign here.

I think you are far safer now then back then... Reported Road Casualties

I searched the newspaper archive for "hassocks derailment" but could only find an article from the Sussex Agricultural Express from 22 November 1935 when it was reported that an engine derailed at Hassocks in the goods siding on the previous Monday. However, the newspaper archive only goes up...

If I remember correctly, the employer is not sent a copy of the certificate. They used to be but it was recognised that there are errors on the Police National Computer (and/or whatever other databases are used) and to inform an employer about a conviction which is not linked to the DBS...
