Yeah the original person on X didn’t make it clear what ticket they had from Newcastle. Although contactless in the middle say between Kings Ceoss and Victoria is still in effect a ticket/method of payment in the chain

So basically GTR have been giving false information multiple times? This is the current thread involved

GTR, specific example in this case was the Southern brand. I’ve seen before someone be told they can’t use their split on a later train due to delay on even a GTR service when linking with say an LNER or GWR for instance

Hi all Quick one, if LNER are advising do not travel and a person has an advance ticket from Newcastle to London, then a separate advance ticket from London to an onward destination, should the operator of the second portion of the split be conveying them the following day? One train operator...

Of course, however it’s good to know all your options, I’ve had a few nightmare journeys along those lines before

No, but it’s an option to sometimes change on a Brighton to Southampton train or change at Fratton or something

Yes, was just adding Portsmouth as the other option those trains that split go to

Usually it’s the front 4 coaches for Fareham and Southampton or Portsmouth

Hi all Is there any regulations more up to date than the ATOC regulations of 2014 that state any passenger should be given access to next available route regardless of operator if travelling with an operator specific ticket? In this example my friend had in excess of a 1 hour delay on the...

Being a Three Bridges commuter myself, I would echo that if I was making this journey, I would go Thameslink to Farringdon on the 0801 or 0810 then Underground two stops to Euston Square. The 0807 Victoria train is often busy even by Three Bridges, the 0836 is quieter

Depending on where your workplace is if you use the DLR route, South Quay, Heron Quays or West India Quay might be more beneficial than Canary Wharf. West India Quay though on homeward journeys you might have to change trains at Canary Wharf anyway, as services from Bank to Lewisham don’t stop...

My friend who drives for Stagecoach at Worthing and Chichester has confirmed recently the through Portsmouth to Brighton and vice versa £2 tickets are still available

In afternoon as long as you touch in before 4, you get the off peak fare, and from memory Gatwick to London has no PM peak time restriction on oyster or contactless. I think the way to “break” the OSI is to touch out on tube gateline, turn around and touch back in, then go through, turn around...

The train the OP boarded to Morpeth was a Lumo service whilst they were waiting for an LNER service, so not sure how that mistake happened, but unfortunate. I can’t find any proof of a cancellation at Morpeth at around that time? Which train was it that was cancelled? There were two trains to...

Walking to the stop by Grosvenor Gardens we next board the 0017 London United service 148 to White City Bus Station arriving at 0039 on Wednesday morning
