    Uber ticketing

    Reservations that are provided depend on what the Rail Availability and Reservation System (RARS). All ticket retailers use this in (more or less) the same way. There is no control over what is returned - only over what request is sent. I'll check anyway.

    What if: entitled to excess but staff physically cannot sell it

    I've bought TAD-discounted tickets at Charing Cross station (I had to tell them what to do!) and also excessed a TAD-discounted ticket on a Southeastern train (the guard just dealt with it like a perfectly normal request - it was an over-distance excess). I've tried to buy a TAD-discounted...

    No more cheap Advance tickets on 07:59 Eastbourne to London Victoria?

    Lower-price Advance tickets were, before Covid, never offered on weekday commuter services to / from London. To do so would have been unthinkable - why would a TOC reduce the most significant part of its income, that was pretty much guaranteed to pay full whack every day of the week (though...

    Not any more. The Beer House closed a year or two ago.

    London area bars within stations or arches etc

    It's on the balcony, on the left as you have your back to the platforms. I think there's an escalator up to it.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Apart from the people paying £195 (the winter price for a Classic Solo on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as some Sundays)

    London area bars within stations or arches etc

    I wonder if that's been done before? See https://railsmartr.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/national_rail_cheapest_pubs_bars_on_the_station.pdf We'll be updating it soon, as there are actually quite a few more stations with pubs. But I hope it helps!

    Term ticket validility

    There are two "routes" from Rock Ferry to MerseyRail All Zones in the fares data: - Any Permitted (the dot ".") - Merseyrail only The former is more expensive than the latter. It appears that your girlfried has (presumably mistakenly?) been sold the more expensive one. She should get this...

    Unusual sign at Littlehampton

    It’s as if privatisation never happened: (Image shows “British Rail” sign at Marylebone underground in 2017, though it was still there in February 2024).

    Delay Repay - Oxford <> Wakefield 13/04

    I'm afraid that you re only entitled to delay repay for actual on the day delays compared to the schedules of the services planned to operate on the day; and not compared to the the your original itinerary.

    Best value Sleeper fares from Fort William to Crewe 22/04/2024 and minor Rover query

    You could get a Sleeper supplement in Classic for both of you for £165.00 from the sleeper.scot website. Your girlfriend's InterRail ticket is valid with the Supplement. You could then buy an Off-Peak Single from Fort William to London Euston. The normal price is £149.00, though I'm not sure...

    Validity limit of [Place] Stations tickets

    According to RSP data: - the station name is Deansgate - the fare location is Deansgate G-Mex - the Manchester Stations group comprises "Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road or Deansgate" It looks like the fare location should be changed from Deansgate G-Mex to Deansgate.

    Merseyrail mandates that Trainline tickets must be printed out

    Merseyrail have publicly said that this is why they do not want to have eTickets on their network, as these tickets would then be sold by other retailers and they would have to pay 5%. Of course, they would save on card processing and fulfilment fees, but they are clearly concerned that this...
