I have had this at Cambridge before, very late train at night and the barriers rejected my ticket, no visible members off staff present, waited for a few minutes incase they was using the toilets or something, nobody came so eventually I decided to jump over the barriers, I think it is a serious...

Thanks I know what you mean by inappropriate pictures! My best mates railcard has picture of him standing outside Eiffel tower with his middle finger stuck up on it! Maybe they should authorise these pictures before using them similar to how the DVLA and passport office do. In fairness they...

Hi, I have this morning renewed my railcard in time for travel tomorrow where I hold tickets with railcard discount applied. When ordering my railcard I opted to submit another photo so I took a selife and uploaded it making sure I followed the rules surrounding the photo. However now I have...

Once Before I was on a train, almost empty carriage, just me and another few youths sat 5 or 6 rows away from me, so plenty of empty rows, at one of the stops a single solitary person got on and decided to sit next to me ignoring all the empty rows, I gave her a glance which she noticed I think...

That is interesting that if you hold a ticket purchased before strikes were announced that you are entitled to alternative transport? I've always seem TOCs on social media make it clear that there will be no rail replacement services at all and that nobody should travel

Certainly Seek a refund of the extra £85 you spent on tickets, and please keep us updated on this thread how that refund request goes as you mah need to persevere with them before they finally give you a refund

Good point, in fairness I wasn't even aware a Kidderminster Town station even existed, but having googled it, it looks remarkably similar to the one used on the programme so it probably is that

I have Been to Kidderminster station before (albeit only once) and I don't remember it bearing any resemblance, obviously that doesn't mean it isn't though!

So i am just watching a series on ITVX called Platform 7 which is some thriller based on somebody taking their own life by throwing themselves in front of a train. I an having trouble finding online which train station/stations was used in filming this? I can see there is a book which is set at...

Once before when collecting TODs on my Chase card I had issues so I went into the ticket office who after a little bit of persuasion agreed to manually reprint it on the basis it was only a ticket worth £4.80, certainly made me very cautious when using Chase for collecting tickets which is a...

I notice the last train of the night from Doncaster to Grimsby 10:38pm today and tomorrow is cancelled due to flooding between Doncaster and sheffield, I will potentially be relying on this train on Monday! Anybody who's local know what the chances are of that 10:38pm to be running on Monday?

A few months ago I had to intervene with a TPE RPI also when ticket acceptance was officially in place! She was hell bent on making a group of 6 teenage lads pay for new tickets on the spot or penalty fares if they didn't, she initially didn't believe me even despite me showing the TOC's twitter...

So I have noticed that Grimsby Town platform one for the past week or so has not been used, normally this platform would be used for all services heading for Cleethorpes but now they all seem to go in on Platform 2, does anybody know of a reason why this is? May just be a problem with the line...

Never travelled on the Eurostar but I've walked past it at St Pancras station and my god what a mess it looked, hundreds of people all just stood around in what looked like an absolute rabble, no organisation at all, no staff member seemed to have taken charge, I know you get queues at airport...

At Grimsby Town station both TVMs were out of use yesterday, when this happens again once all ticket offices are closed down we could see many many penalty fares given to innocent travellers, its alright saying the conductors and RPI's would automatically know of TVMs are faulty but that is...
