Ah, that makes much more sense! I'm surprised not surprised that the person at the callcentre didn't know about the line disruption. Still, looking at the normal timetable the cheaper route would take about an hour and a half, rather than just over 30 minutes, so I guess I'll have to shell out...

That's not quite how it works. A right is something which is protected by law. We have a right to privacy in the UK because it is stipulated in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is (currently) incorporated into UK law by virtue of the 1998 Human Rights Act. There's...

Hey all, I'm looking to travel from London to Sheffield return with a group of between 8 and 10. I've spoken to the group travel person at East Midland, and with a group of 10 people the fare is £42 per person, whereas if we all buy our tickets separately the fare is £75 per person. The...
