My friend was due to travel tomorrow, Wednesday, to come and visit me for a week, she has already purchased her tickets, Normal off peak returns with a split. Unfortunately yesterday morning she tested positive for covid so now she has to isolate for 5 days as per government guidelines. What are...

164.9 for E10 this morning in rural West Yorkshire, I also needed some E5 for my classic motorcycles, 178.9. E5 was 110.9 in December 2020 The government won't do anything about it as they are raking it in, got to get the furlough money back some way.

A couple of incidents come to mind for me, A few years back I was in Huddersfield Town centre when I overheard one of these "beggars" telling his mate he'd "had a good day yesterday, I made £85" But the best one for me was again, a few years back, my friend had met me at New Street, when we got...

Yes, it seems to be the case with a 24 hour "guard" at each end, quite rightly so IMO, if the road is closed, it's closed, no exceptions except for local traffic. It has apparently been closed because of disruption to the works taking place as well as safety concerns. ,

I am looking to purchase some parts for my classic motorcycle from a seller in the USA, I am trying to calculate what duties, taxes etc I would have to pay but am struggling to get a definitive answer. I was wondering if any forum members have experience of this type of transaction. The item I...

West Yorks, E10 144.9 this morning, same week last year at the same filling station E5 111.?, Double whammy, last year I was averaging 57.5mpg on E5, this E10 rubbish has dropped it to 52.6mpg.

I have a RTV issued by Arriva Rail North due to expire on the 26 February next year, due to the current situation its highly unlikely I will be able to use it, is it possible to have the voucher exchanged for a cheque or bank transfer, if so does anyone know who I should contact as if I remember...

My first laptop, an NEC with Windows XP, it had pre installed programmes, office for example. XP was so much more user friendly than any of the later versions, am now on Windows 10 and it's dreadful, also had to pay a fortune for office, which to be honest I rarely use. Cars that I can service...

I used my local councils "large item disposal" service, booked and paid for online to remove my old freezer, cost £20, I had to leave it outside my property to be collected "within the next 3 weeks", came home after a few days and it had gone, whether it was the council who collected it or the...

The MOT exemption only applies to "unmodified vehicles", so it will require an MOT.

Thanks for the replies, as I stated previously I rarely use a printer and have managed for ages with a fairly cheap HP. I would get another one but, at the moment cartridges are just about unobtainable. It's not worth me going down the instant link route due to my limited use. With regards to...

Printer has packed up and I need to replace it fairly quickly, I would normally go for another HP but, whilst I can get a printer no problem, HP ink cartridges are like hens teeth at the moment. I can order one from Argos and have it delivered to my local Sainsbury's for next day collection. As...

No, I was told it was no longer valid, so I more than likely asked them to put it in the bin. If my memory is correct I think it was around £5, I can't remember which TOC issued it. It was quite a while ago, probably around 3 or 4 years, maybe even longer. I was not as clued up with railway...

That really surprises me, a while ago I had one refused at Huddersfield station that was one day out of date, (if you want to nit pick it was around 10 hours), can't remember what the amount was, but I know I wasn't too happy about it.

Been checking if I had any unused RTV's acquired through delay repay, I have around £25 worth which expire next February, so all being well I should be able to use them no problem, however my friend has some which expire in August and it is looking increasingly unlikely she will be able to use...

Got a call from one of my mates this morning asking why I wasn't at his place as I said I would be, we have got a "project " on at the moment, I said haven't you seen the news, we are in lockdown, his reply was absolutely staggering. "Who says we are, and how are they going to enforce it?" "They...

Hypothetical question, I am travelling from Derby to Huddersfield via Sheffield, on an Off Peak Return, I want to break my journey at Barnsley for a couple of hours, the trains to Huddersfield are only hourly, if I am late arriving at Sheffield is it permitted to catch the Leeds train from...

It may be that a through ticket is cheaper than splitting, I have found this to be the case several times.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have passed them on to my friend so it's up to him now whether or not he proceeds with his claim.

Just had a phone call from a friend asking me to download and print a Northern delay repay application form as he has no internet access, but I can't seem to find that option, only apply online or alternatively, pick up a form from a Northern operated station", which is not an option due to...
