The Penalty Fare would have been cheaper for the OP - Ive still not seen an implementation date on the PF scheme for the South Wales Metro however TfW are scheduled to install 45 new TVM's in the Metro area and 75 on the rest of the network this year so it wont be too far away.
Were veering off thread title now but short of every train being Booked Train only, paid online by card with name and address of the customer and refunds done automatically back to the card you have to design a system that's also not open to fraud and whatever you come up with its going to have...
Ive claimed Delay Repay myself in the past and never had a problem doing so.These occasions have been of significant delay once over 2 hours. It would never cross my mind to claim compensation because i was 20 minutes late in the evening with the service still struggling to recover after a...
Personally if i need to be somewhere at a certain time and its that important I'm there i.e catching a flight, job interview etc then I will always make arrangements whereby an hours delay will have no adverse effect. If the trains 16 minutes late i'm not looking for compensation - it just...

Wonder if people saying there having trouble are not going to TFW outlets?
From what's been said up thread its people trying to avoid the ticket buying facilities and barriers at Barrow that has seen people using Roose increase recently. Coming back to the thread title it may not be a unique situation but unlike many other educational flows I know of the movement is...
Then its not pan franchise if Borders are excluded which is not how the commitment has read in everything seen so far.
With the bus passes we have to issue them special nil cost to them tickets so as to count how many are using the scheme.

The reduced fares for under 18's has been trailed as a pan franchise thing not just for the Metro- we need a lot more detail on how this is going to work TfW share routes with other TOC's into Manchester and Birmingham. It could be a recipe for chaos if not handled right as the other TOC's do...
