I suspect it is and always has been possible.... For a price.

TfL already pay an agreed fee for each PTAC issued to their old school staff

Ah, understood :)

I've never been taxed on priv season tickets

I don't get taxed on mine. When this question was raised before it came back as non taxable because it's a simple discount and not a scheme where your employer will pay 75% when you pay 25%.

It won't go into people's contracts but it will be part of union-company agreements. As a result of one day they are unavailable, NR will need to negotiate with the union to "sell" this perk.

As far as I understand it, it will be the same as TOC NE PRIV

All westbound trains seemed to be going to Olympia during the disruption yesterday, it seems to be a standard contingency plan.

You must be fun at parties. 1659644851 What about the hundreds of newspapers left on trains in the morning and evening peaks? More so 5-6 years ago?

Double Liverpool?

You want a T key but you're worried about delay repay fraud?:) I'd claim the delay repay and make a complaint each and every time. Your complaints and explanation will be enough to throw out any fraud investigations. Quite simply because it isn't fraud - you've been delayed due to fault of the TOC

The ride quality is the same on all Aventras I've been on. The fact that the 345s are smooth as silk in the central section and ride poorly (as with the 720s) on the eastern section is more down to track condition.
