    Who are London NW Railways

    And as it's a TOC restriction rather than a geographic one, it shouldn't be excessed to a via High Wycombe (Chiltern) or Any Permitted (Avanti) ticket either.

    Master list of rolling stock changes

    Chiltern actually have four potential tenders underway, though there's no guarantee of all (or any) of them going ahead: 25 to 70 existing vehicles - This is the Mk3 replacement contract, and theoretically due into service in 2025. - Tender notice...

    Labour promises rail nationalisation within five years of coming to power

    Chiltern's essentially just been coasting since the start of the Oxford services, which was the final condition for keeping the full 20 year franchise. The only thing of note that's happened since then (Covid aside) is the opening (and extension) of Banbury Depot, and future operation of the...

    New Eltham to Oxford During Strike

    GWR and Chiltern are affected on the same day this time round, so that won't be an option as Chiltern will have no service.

    ptac + priv on oyster

    Wouldn't that be the existing "All Rail-N" discount, which allows PAYG discounts on NR and LU/DLR services, but doesn't let you load a Priv-discounted Travelcard Season?

    Urgent TOPS Requests

    Sadly I've only just seen this and the formation has already dropped off. Seems to be increasingly common that you can't view historic formations (or I'm not using the right options!)

    Urgent TOPS Requests

    Showing as having arrived at Aberdeen Clayhills at around 0900 this morning, so almost certainly going to be on 1B16/1M16 tonight, due into Euston at 0800 tomorrow. Sadly both formations have dropped off of TRUST now, so can't help on that front.

    Interrail cabin reservation on GWR Night Riviera

    SZE is one of the ten levels of Berth Supplement for a Solo cabin (TZx for Twin.) The member of staff will need to select it at some point during the reservation process. Exactly where depends on the Ticket Issuing System they're using. For Worldline MTiS/TOMTIS/Tribute X for example they...

    Delay Repay with voluntary break of journey

    I suspect the default position is that both legs would be treated as separate journeys given you've left railway property between the two. So you'd only be entitled to claim Delay Repay for the actual delay incurred (if any) on each leg.

    Slade Green to Maidenhead Using Smartcard Ticketing

    You'd have expected that to be the case, but no. LU barriers reject cross-London walk up tickets on ITSO with Code 57. I believe there's a similar issue with using them at stations operated by TOCs other than the one that owns the flow. So much for interoperability!

    Slade Green to Maidenhead Using Smartcard Ticketing

    At present, most cross-London journeys aren't enabled for Smartcard fulfilment as TfL barriers don't accept them. There is a project underway to resolve this, but no timescale at present.

    Bought ticket on the train

    Not suggesting that the OP did, but the usual scenario involves tapping in with an Oyster or Contactless, or using a magstripe ticket to Wembley or Harrow. No conversation needed that way.

    Bought ticket on the train

    If it's not dealt with under the Single Justice Procedure, yes. 1713601005 If that's the case, they've also walked past an open Ticket Office and I find it incredibly unlikely that they would have been let through the barriers without a ticket.

    Digital Fraud Email from WMT?

    Though if previous Railcards were purchased from a Ticket Office, it's reliant on the application form being completed accurately and sent to RDG's data processing contractor for entry into the relevant databse. Depending on the Ticket Issuing System being used it should be possible to locate...

    Bought ticket on the train

    Indeed. From Chiltern's point of view it would look like a case of "pay when challenged" given that, even if the Ticket Office was closed, Marylebone has multiple ticket machines which accept both cash and card payments and can sell most tickets other than Boundary Zone extensions and those with...

    TFW Advance Tickets - South Wales to Manchester

    Also the last weekend in May is a bank holiday weekend, which will likely put further pressure on loadings.
