Surely the complaint goes to CrossCountry if they haven't added cross-London transfer to a journey they price?

I disagree. Whether there is an "advance sale" date would depend on what the regulator decides, which would be the Scottish government. The DfT has decided that for this year's fares change (for they TOCs they control) there is no "advance sale". As @Adam Williams says, if no bulletin has been...

But the OP has stated that they are booked on the 13:56 EMR to St Pancras, not a GTR service so this "exception" doesn't apply.

What is ripe for abuse? I can't imagine many situations where you can tap in at the origin station, make a return journey and tap back out at the origin station within a 15min period. If you don't tap in at the start and tap out at the end, there's a £25 incomplete journey charge.

Presumably that's a 3% increase in addition to the March 2024 fares increase of "less than 9%"...

A "Rail replacement service" would still be classed a "train", e.g. due to engineering work or disruption. 4.4 of the National Rail Conditions of Travel makes this distinction Some Tickets entitle you to goods or services from another party (for instance the right to travel on bus services)...

You wouldn't be entitled to delay repay as that would only apply where a train company delays your journey. Any travel on a third party operator is subject to their conditions of travel and I don't think any bus company offer compensation for delays so in the event the bus is delayed, you're not...

The GWR website says the timetable for 1 Sept will be published tomorrow, so maybe check then and see if the times work for you? https://www.gwr.com/strike

First Class was withdrawn on this route a few years ago, although the trains may still have First Class seats. You're OK to sit in the "First Class" seats.

Demand based pricing where a product has finite capacity? I would say that is pretty standard...

Is the 06:46 or 07:16 from Motspur Park practical for you? Both come from Chessington so should be much quieter than one that comes via Epsom.

I think that's due to Wightlink's requirement for foot passengers to check in at least 15min before departure. https://www.wightlink.co.uk/tickets/foot-passenger-tickets#checking-in I doubt whether it's actually enforced by staff at Wightlink...

I agree, and there's also the GDPR issue if your name is linked to a itinerary/ticket. I can't imagine many customers would happily share this information with every TOC (to cover the multiple TOCs/routes a ticket might be valid on). Also, the poster mentions carrying ID - there are many people...

But would they have grounds? Wintax would already be required to provide wheelchair accessible taxis so unless there's no provision, there's no claim on that basis. I haven't been to Winchester for years, but looking at Google Streetview, a crossing with dropped kerbs is provided towards the...

Even then, there's no guarantee that the retailer will change the booking to an "any card collection" and the ticket office can't override this either.
