    Chester Station Ticket Office and Delay Repay Vouchers

    I can tell you now that those times are correct . What you may not notice is when all the glass doors are closed over it actually looks like the office isn't open . It is however, but only the window nearest the bookies.

    National Action anti-fascist Liverpool march delay trains today (15Aug15)

    National Action anti-fascist Liverpool march delay trains today (15Aug15)

    The police are not to blame for anything in this really. They wanted the area for platforms 1-6 clear to try and get the trouble makers away. And indeed did so on a special service 2T14 ( albeit asfar as edge hill ). They had them " protected " in the btp office in rail house then took them to...

    Disputes with Merseyrail not crediting refund and selling wrong ticket

    Yeah that was me ! I can't say that I get it right all the time , but like you say I can usually tell the genuine problems from those that have been made up. I have more empathy for those coming from merseyrail stations for the simple fact that I know the area and have experience of the issues...

    Disputes with Merseyrail not crediting refund and selling wrong ticket

    I've just logged on for the first time in a while to reply to this thread specifically. First off , I am a TPE conductor and I would have sold that £12 ticket no problem ( We are not all bad ) . This is mainly due to first hand experience of Merseyrail and problems they have issuing anything...

    Chester Zoo add-on from Bache

    It does not show any Bache Add ons at all apart from the student one which is only valid after 09.29 With regards to the £18.70 valid from within any merseyrail station, if travelling after 09.30 weekdays, or anytime on weekends it would be cheaper to buy a daysaver of £4.60 and then the...

    Chester Zoo add-on from Bache

    Apologies, I was talking about Chester - Chester zoo (via Bache and number 1 bus) tickets which did cost £18.70 I do not think you can get a Bache Add on anymore, and as such the announcements on the Merseyrails have ceased advertising bache as the interchange. There are also no bache add...

    Chester ticket office

    Tickets can be non issued within one hour at the ticket office, regardless to whether it was sold there or at the TVM, as the ticket office staff will know the code on the ticket for the TVM machines. If a train has a cancellation then I think the one hour rule can be moved with discretion...

    SailRail Changes again

    Booking it as a "sleeper" requires the passengers name, gender and contact number. I was under the impression that this was to help in the cases where ferries are cancelled, to inform the passengers before they travel type thing. Ive never had a problem booking through view availability...
