    Break of Journey / Outward Leg

    As previously stated, it is possible to finish a journey on day 2 that was started on day 1 on the outward portion of an off peak return. I would book on train split and get an itinerary that at least shows an overnight break of journey on the outward portion. If you are forced to buy new...

    Merseyrail Tap & Go

    I do sincerely hope that this doesn't mean concessionary pass holders who travel for free on Merseyrail will have to start tapping in and out at unbarriered stations on the Merseyrail network. It is also a shame they are basing the weekly cap on a Monday to Sunday week rather then within any 7...

    Is ENCTS valid on this bus service

    The machine rejected the ticket. Message displayed was "no ticket". The driver said that my ticket doesn't work on here. He also refused someone with a locally issued ENCTS pass. Mine is Merseyside issued. I was boarding in Warrington going to St Helens. I refused to pay and sat down. The...

    Wrong railcard used by mistake

    It does not look like we were showed what submissions the original poster made to the appeals body as each stage. I think it would have been helpful as we do not know if the right points were made clearly. I would recommend that they take this up with Transport Focus on the basis that the...

    Merseyrail Penalty Fare - is this valid?

    The clock stops when someone appeals. So as long as they don't go over 21 days they can still pay the reduced amount. Loosing all 3 appeals doesn't mean they necessarily have to pay the full amount.

    Advice On WMT Penalty Fare Notice

    The penalty fare was not issued in accordance with the regulations as the passenger travelled on an Avanti service. West Midland Railway are unable to issue penalty fares to somebody who has traveled on an Avanti service. There is no agreement in place for them to do so because Avanti do not...

    Merseyrail Penalty Fare - is this valid?

    They have charged the fare based and journey based on where the passenger boarded the train, rather then from the last station at which the ticket held by the passenger was valid.

    Issue with TPE refund

    Update: I logged onto my TPE account and it was saying the booking was refunded to PayPal. Yet on my PayPal account it is not showing as refunded. I could see this dragging on so decided to raise a dispute with PayPal as my understanding was you have to wait a couple of weeks before you can...

    Issue with TPE refund

    TPE approved the refund as I provided medical evidence. I didn't top up my PayPal account with credit but I did use PayPal account to provide my Visa card details to charge the transaction. The issue here is I have had confirmation of a refund but it hasn't been received.

    Issue with TPE refund

    I booked 2 Advance singles on the TPE site (£9.30 each) totaling £18.60 on 13 March for travel on 11 April and 14 April. I was unable to travel and successfully submitted a refund application on 22 April (1 confirmation received with a case reference number) which was approved by TPE on 24...

    Weird split tickets

    What time would you like to travel ideally and on what date/day of the week? Worst case scenario is you have 2 changes. One at Chester and another at Shrewsbury as opposed to just one at Chester.

    Weird split tickets

    I'd suggest to travel on one of the hourly Llandudno to Chester services, which will call at Shotton. Then change for a Chester to Birmingham service, which will call at Shrewsbury. These do not run hourly throughout the day but there are periods of the day when they do, with some gaps. Check...

    More gateline woes - Perth

    Given that this is not an isolated incident as you saw it happen to somebody else, I would make a complaint to the operator of the station which I assume is Scotrail.
