    Delay Repay claims rejected

    Good to know, and thanks for letting me know! Fingers crossed I'll receive the same soon. Hopefully it's a problem they are aware of and are trying to fix, rather than a problem they are happy to accept as it obfuscates the process...(!)

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    I've had exactly the same issue. Caught up in delays from Preston to Euston on the last weekend of May. Submitted two claims (one for me, one for my wife), one was accepted, one was rejected. Tried appealing the rejected one, rejected again. I sent an email outlining all the issues to their...

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    Probably won't take pressure off the Central line out east until there is a direct link between Stratford and the central core. Central line at Mile End was still absolutely rammed this morning

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    Perks of being a semi famous YouTuber I guess! I was also on the second train out of Abbey Wood, all went incredibly smoothly. Because they could only get a limited number of people on each train (as they leave every 5 minutes), it was super quiet in there, which was really nice. Very...

    Happy bi-annual crossrail delay day everyone! Who brought the cake?

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    Categorically not what the argument is. If you're going to be facetious and put words into my mouth then it's not worth the effort to discuss it with you, quite frankly.

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    I will repeat what I said - are you seriously equating the banning of all cars from the roads to wearing a face mask whilst on a train?

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    What a ridiculous argument. You're equating putting a mask on your face for a few hours on public transport to only allowing the population to travel at 5mph? Get real.

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    40,000 people have died in this country alone due to the virus, and you're calling out 1984 because you're being told to wear a face mask? I think you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. Even if they aren't a huge amount of use, if this change can save even one...

    BBC article regarding the use of Welsh language by TfW

    Wales is part of the United Kingdom and Gibraltar isn't a part of Spain :lol:

    BBC article regarding the use of Welsh language by TfW

    I mean it's a completely different concept but keep on telling yourself that if you want

    LNER New Fares Trial

    Fair enough. Personally, if it cuts down on people booking seat reservations and not using them, then I'm all in favour - it's a massive bugbear of mine

    LNER New Fares Trial

    You still encounter the same issue if you have an open return but don't know when you're travelling back - how do you book on an open return if you don't know when you'll be travelling?

    LNER New Fares Trial

    I really don't think it's common for people to break a journey on the London - Edinburgh route overnight. Unless you have planned in advance - who gets off a train from Edinburgh to London at York without having accommodation already booked? If you have accommodation booked, then you also have...

    Flooding disruption around Sheffield and Doncaster (7 November onwards)

    I don't think that the line is **** because of the flooding, more because of the pacers :lol:

    Crossrail opening delayed (opening date not yet known)

    Perhaps they should just say it will open between October 2020 and December 2099 to avoid being accused of further delays :lol:

    Most/least successful recent large infrastructure project?

    So instead of the project being a success because every day commuters are using it, you won't rule it a success until an arbitary service pattern is met? How does that make any sense?

    Met Line - 2/9 - 5/9

    It means that TFL are tired of the reputation of running with permanent severe delays, so they've given it a new name to try and cover it up!

    East Midlands franchise won by Abellio

    I reckon you have probably given some poor person at EMR a heart attack as they got a notification that someone had purchased a ticket on their website before it's even meant to be up :lol:
