@SickyNicky do you know a) is this Trainsplit style/competing full splits they are talking about? b) Is VT west coast not powered by Trainline, is this Trainline announcing doing splits via a TOC c) Are you worried?
Hi
Does anyone know what fares called "SCR Group" are. See http://www.brfares.com/#expert?orig=EDB&dest=GLQ
and e.g
http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=EDB&dest=GLQ&expert=on&flow=1&multi=0&fare=32&tkt=S01
Are they Scotrail advances or are they special?
Why are the called 'Group' fares...
I can see the value in that. But I don't believe for one second that this is legal. Fine that you agree with Railguard to be your 'agent' but they MUST be applying to the TOC as YOU, using your name and what? a dummy email address and their own bank details?
Has anyone used Railguard https://railguard.co.uk/?
Is this legal? Surely a third party collecting compensation on your behalf and entering details into the delay repay forms as you (but with Railguard's bank account details) is highly dubious and liable to be fraud implicated?
I know there are a lot of threads about what LONDON refers to but I'm not referring to that aspect. But my question, which may be totally stupid is:
1. does the VIA only refer to any change station. i.e if the train in question passed through a LONDON station (but I didn't change) is that not...
So this might be a stupid question. I always assumed that first the journey plan route is validated (is it direct, shortest path + 3miles, a mapped route) and then if not it sort of gets a second chance by checking if there is an easement that allows the route (and the inverse an easement that...
I admit that much of the fares system is still a mystery to me. Take this example:
Swindon (Wilts) to Coventry - Daily there are trains at (e.g the 16.41 - 1825) with go with a change at Reading. The first leg is GWR, the second is XC. Now there is a routecode 00439 with is a 'XC &CONNECTIONS'...
Hi
I was on raileasy searching for fares between York and Brighton. Its journey planner suggested YRK to KGX then the tube between KGX & VIC and then train again VIC to BTN. For the tube part it said:
Change time 30 mins (presumably 15mins interchange time for KGX, 15 for VIC)
11 mins...
A fantastic achievement. Bravo. Just playing around with the new journey planner whets the appetite for more information. Like:
* Why did you develop it? Presumably you see failings in Hafas, Jeppesen, etc. How is this different to them?
* What is the technical approach? Is it a time-dependent...
