According to BR Fares, the return fares offered are: Anytime Return (£22.30) Anytime Day Return (£21.50) Off Peak Return (£19.70) Restriction: 8F - Not valid on trains timed to depart after 04:29 and before 09:16 except valid on the 07:01 service from Stranraer to Ayr. Off Peak Day Return...

I purchased an Off Peak Day Single ticket from A to B, traveling about 10:00, intending to return about 18:30. I checked before purchase and the off peak fare offered was valid on both the planned outward and return journeys. The price was £13.40 Whilst checking the schedule and punctuality of...

Anyone know where this was - signage and signals looks like UK? Ignore the thumbnail, the video plays from the point I'm referring to.

Thanks, I had a feeling that would be the case, but I said I'd check anyway...

As header, I know that PhD students are eligible for these even though there is no lecture component to attend at the university, you are expected to put in as much or as little research time as you find necessary to complete the thesis. Are posdoctoral researchers allowed to get the Young...

I know, that was my point. I was merely responding to the poster who questioned whether A to C is generally valid via B.

A to C is valid via B. A to B is valid via C. The most common journey route would be A-B-C. It is just that the Advance ticket I have includes travel by a specific train that prevents me from travelling on the route where C would be reached before B. As to the changing of the ticket, I have...

I had this happen to me once, a few years ago. I must have accidentally hit single instead of return on the machine at the unstaffed station. There was no onboard ticket check, so I went directly to the counter at Nottingham station and explained the situation. They proceeded to tell me that on...

I have bought many return tickets from A to B, where A is where I live, B is the town where my family lives and several hundred kilometers are in between. Only a couple of weeks ago, my family moved to live at C. C is a fifteen minute local train journey away from B, and the prices of all...

I'm just looking online and it seems that there are no more open dated return tickets available for stations in the north into Kings Cross. All the tickets I've found seem to be sold as two singles, which is not as advantageous as the previous arrangement. Any way around it?

Already done, I collected the necessary information from them before their train was scheduled to arrive. Even though they have permission to travel later, I suggested they take screenshots anyway to show if their ticket is inspected on the train later today, in case it is not visible in the app...

The train was cancelled, and they will make the journey several hours later in the day instead. The ticket was activated in the app before they realised the train was cancelled. It is an 'Advance' Avanti train specific ticket.

When I travel I always have paper tickets, but I am assisting someone using a ticket purchased through the OMIO app... one I have heard of, but never used... Do I submit the claim to Avanti West Coast in the normal manner, i.e. screenshots of the ticket open in the app? Will 'automatic delay...

It does not matter. You of course have an argument if you boarded between two 1st class carriages and were making your way through to STD, but otherwise you are liable.

Why do people avoid paying? Sure, there are dishonest people who will evade at every opportunity. But there are also many others who wouldn't normally evade a fare, but for whatever reason choose to do so. Perhaps somehow they feel that the railway owes them in some way. Perhaps they were...
