    Advance ticket - leaving at earlier station

    Doesnt this cause issues with the barriers at gated stations or with staff manning these stations when you show your ticket ? I'm sure LNER staff would not take kindly to me trying to exit Darlington station with a cheap Advance to Newcastle.:D

    Delay Repay on Split Tickets.

    Just to clarify this scenario : travelling from A to D via B and C with the following 3 splits : A-B (TOC 1) B-C (TOC 2) C-D (TOC 3) Am I correct in saying that if TOC 2 causes the delay and you end up missing the connection at Station C then you can claim compensation for the entire journey ...

    Missing the booked LNER connection at Edinburgh for Inverness.

    I'm due to arrive into EDB on an AWC train however the booked LNER onward connection to Inverness is tight(ish) - roughly 15 mins. As this is the only LNER train of the day to INV if i missed my connection would I be permitted to use the next available Scotrail service ? Thanks.

    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    Just a quick update. Yesterday I applied to Southeastern for the delay repay . Received an email this morning stating that I will get 100% refund for the cost of the return leg of my journey. Super quick resolution on SE's behalf. Well done the said TOC.

    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    The Southern train was only 23 mins late and wasn't responsible for the extent of the delay. I'm sure they won't be best pleased :)

    An interesting Delay Repay Claim - two legs of journey delayed. What should be correct outcome ?

    As I stated in my original post if the Hastings - Ashford Int train had run to time ie arriving at 2010 my connection to STP ,which was due to depart at 2016, was still delayed until 2143. Hence the Southern delay had no impact on my journey. I think i will try to claim from Southeastern.
