I think you could take the 1710 from Northampton to Birmingham as it departs Euston at 1556, then your next opportunity is the 2040, departing Euston at 1923. Which will get you to Worcester Shrub Hill at 2239

I can recall cases in the forum where season ticket holders were using real time train monitoring apps to find out which trains within the validity of their season tickets had been delayed, and submitting claims to have travelled on those trains. Recommendations to people with unusual travel...

If you intended to travel on the 0930 train, arrived at the station at 0920, to discover that both the 0930 and the next one, say 1000 were cancelled, so you went home, had a cup of tea, came back and caught the 1030 service, which arrived at destination 15 minutes late, you would have one 75...

I can imagine it is tricky at Leeds with two trains which have Manchester Victoria in their calling points departing 3 minutes apart. My daughter and granddaughter made that journey a while back, and I was most emphatic in my instructions that they must catch the Northern with destination...

You said you live in Luton with your boyfriend. Is that the address you gave the inspector? If so, ask your boyfriend to look out for letter from GTR.

I recommend avoiding LNER's automated Delay Repay system and emailing their Customer Service with all the facts and evidence, including the tickets and the endorsements allowing travel by LNER and see what they say.

There is a question in my mind as to which train(s) you actually caught from Paddington to Oxford. Can you confirm that you travelled on the 2248 departure? If that is the case then I would say that you have a 51 minutes claim against LNER as their late-running caused your delay. If by good...

Ormskirk was full of racegoers yesterday evening. Merseyrail was operating 6-car class 507 stock because it is more reliable than the 777 (according to the guard on the 2207 departure). In fact 507001 newly decked out in BR blue/grey livery was there. Several of the ladies enjoying the delights...

Passenger could buy ticket online and get a ToD code to use at the Formby ticket office.

I have yet to discover an online ticket retailer which will sell me a Merseytravel Saveaway or a Merseyrail Family Card, so when I want one of those I can only buy them at the Merseyrail ticket office. My most recent trip on Merseyrail, last Saturday, involved a MerseyRail Family Ticket, and two...

The original incident has been dealt with by means of a penalty fare. No further action can be taken in respect of that matter. There could be a wealth of ticket purchasing history using an entire range of discounts, but unless the TOC has some evidence that the OP actually travelled on a train...

This is what is known as a "fishing expedition". They would like you to admit to them that you have committed some crimes. This is never a very good idea. I suggest you invite them to tell you more about what they think they know. Dear sirs. In response to your email, I can confirm that on...

It is a serious matter to be ordered to attend court in a situation where you are the accused. You should consider whether the risk of being arrested for failure to attend is sufficient for you to reschedule your overseas trip.

In a separate thread, it seems a penalty has been issued to a 13 year old holder of a 16-18 daysaver, for failing to produce proof of age as required with that ticket.

As you were issued with a Penalty fare, and you paid it immediately there will be no further action, but .... your details are on the file, and if you come to their attention again, expect to be reported for prosecution. This forum is full of people who know how to get the best value journeys...
