So they moved us onto the 23.45 to Glasgow, and thence onto the 08.22 Scotrail service from...

    LSL running (and WCR try to run) mainline 'extras' this week on behalf of Avanti West Coast

    I notice that LSL have trains scheduled in the public timetable for the next three days between Manchester and London. For example, http://timetablehistory.com/times.aspx?uid=U54686&date=20220915. National Rail shows them as valid on walkup tickets, and the redirect to Avanti seems to work OK.

    NRS down

    Hi all, Just a heads up to day it looks like the NRS is down at the moment. TrainSplit won't work for anything that involves a lookup for advance fares. I'm sure it won't be long before they fix it, but everyone's in the same boat.

    Railcards not applying properly

    Good morning, all. We've noticed a problem with this morning's data feed and Disabled Persons Railcards. They don't appear to be applying the discount on NRE or any IPTIS based system. Presumably that will also be the case for other booking engines as they gradually all switch to the new...

    First class upgrade where no first class ticket exists

    Imagine I have a standard class ticket from Ledbury to Stafford, say an Anytime Return. What should be the excess payable to travel in first class? There's no first class fare defined. Obviously I could split tickets, but I'd like to try to do it on one ticket.
