So, to ask a slightly different question, but along the same lines (off-peak rather than advance) If I wanted to travel from Wigan to London tomorrow at 08:09 (on the train which left Lancaster at 07:38 - off peak), could I buy an "off-peak return" from Lancaster->London and join at Wigan...

No, Northern's compensation specifically excludes season ticket holders, unless % punctuality over a given period falls out of target. http://www.northernrail.org/northern/compensation-information#faq1 Given the manipulation of punctuality stats (published vs working timetable), and the...

Quick question Is anyone aware of any plan or requirement of Arriva to provide "Delay Repay" that many of the other operators provide. The hour delay to my journey home from work last night (without any sort of recourse with me having an annual season ticket) got me wondering why we don't...

Any hints greatly appreciated :wink:

Looks like the Eastham -> Burscough fare has been increased in price now - showing at £7.70. Got some good use out of it while it lasted

Would this be valid from Burscough Bridge via Southport, as there is no service to/from Burscough Junction on Sundays.

Thanks 158801 For the benefit of anyone else in a similar situation, i got the following reply from Northern Rail...

Thanks for the replies. Emailed all 3 a week ago, still awaiting a reply. If I get one I'll post it in here.

Yes, the annual is the plan. The saving is one reason. The ability to travel to Manchester Airport and out towards the peak district (for cycling trips) over the course of the year without paying any more is another reason.

Thanks for the reply, that was the thread I managed to find while searching and it seemed to flow back and forth between OK and NOT OK. If anyone has any personal experience of doing this to share (perhaps the original poster from the other thread) I'd really appreciate it. Cheers Paul

Hi all My season ticket renewal is approaching, and I am hoping to change to a split between a point to point annual season ticket (Liverpool South Parkway -> Glazebrook) and a TfGM Traincard. My final destination is Manchester Oxford Rd. I read condition 19c of the NCoC to state the split...

So, does this make January 1st the last date your able to buy an annual season ticket at the current price? My current season ticket expires on December 30th

Thanks Soil, appreciate it!

Great info, thanks guys. @cuccir, you mention my ST is valid to Burscough. Does that mean I could walk from Burscough Bridge to Burscough Junction and then travel via Ormskirk to get to/from Maghull. (I'd assume so, given it seems my ticket is valid for MAN -> MAG via Preston, and BB is on...

Hi My annual season ticket is from Manchester Stations -> Maghull, and the route I usually take to work is either via Liverpool Lime Street or Liverpool South Parkway. I was wondering, if it is valid for me to travel on Merseyrail via Sandhills/Southport, and catch the Southport ->...
