Hi Guys, I am trying to route an early morning journey which does not take the long way around the country to get me to Harpaden. The catch is I need to be there for around 7:20 so anything any one can advice that will cut down the time, I dont mind hopping on a bus for part of the journey...

In honesty your chances are low, but this is how I would tackle it; - Obtain CCTV, if it exists get it. You need to prove you came in via this station, so it may not cover the swipe area but leading upto and after will help as it will prove you went through the swipe in area. - Your friend is...

By the sounds of things since one of you pleaded not guilty they seem to have decided to take you all in together, now you need to speak to a legal rep and clarify are they putting you on trial or using you as a witness or what. If it is the case you have been fined and they have concluded the...

Just thought I would let you all know how I got on, writing this on my TPE connection. The machine was card only again so I took a pic and noted the fare. About 30 mins in the conductor entered my carriage from first class, I approached him and he asked me for my ticket. I said I needed a ticket...

Quite simple, because I am not carrying the card. My CC is in Manchester, I have a duplicate card for some reason from Lloyds but it is not activated and i am pretty sure I had at one point reported this one missing at one point. (I have a bad habbit of misplacing things). I do have an prepaid...

Thanks, my plan is after work pack up and head to station and go to machine first. I will let you all know how i get on, My plan was if the machine does not take cash I will take a pic, board train. Get into MKC at around 43-45 past and then go to the next platform as my train is at 50 mins...

Interesting points you all make, In the court of law, if they were to pursue for fare evasion for when my method of payment was not accepted at the machine, then they would have a hard job; - They would have to prove I had my card on myself at the time - The machine could be argued is not...

Thanks all, The reason why i choose not to use my card is quite simple, I hate using my card I prefer to pay everything in cash, I usually carry more then I need in cash for the week as I used to work for a bank and some of the stuff i saw put me off using my card, and so i use it as a last...

Thanks, will take a pic tomorrow if it does not, i do need to get a new wallet and put every thing togeather to save me loosing things, thats my new years resolution. Do we have a donations thing on this site, I do apreciate all the good work you all do! I only happen to come across this site...

Thanks would i need to take a pic of the machine in its state or can i check and if its not accepting cash just tell the inspector. Also what would have happened on my first senario, im just entrived as to what could have potentially happened Thanks in advance

1) Yes, would I be able to buy another off peak return or would it have to be a single and would this be a standard single or off peak single as its after 6pm 2) In a sense yes, I want to buy the ticket but the machine wont accept cash, its says card only. I have enougth cash. I know it...

Hi Guys, I have a question as its something that happened to me recently but thankfully I was not checked. Basically I travel between Bolton and Wolverton, Usually get a TPE to Manchester Picadilly and then the Virgin to MKC and swap for Wolverton, currently I work in Wolverton and so stay...

So the moral of the story is dont trust the train line :) and No you cant use it but its just as quick to walk it across or you can use the tram at an additional cost of £1.10.

Hi Guys, Sadly my time with my 16-25 card comes to an end this year, I was wondering whats the next best card I can use or get? I travel alot on trains but not excessively, I dont mind paying full fares for local journeys but Bolton to London or MKC is what i dont want to be paying excessive...

Thanks Guys, in the end i lost my return ticket but had my out going ticket, just decided it was best to class it as a loss and move on :(

Your ticket is valid on the metro link. I just checked the Train Line site and can see the journey you have selected and can see your first journey is to Manchester Victoria. When you pick up your ticket you will see the first one says Manchester Stations, or Manchester Cental Zone, since it has...

Thanks for the advise, I have had a look and its says Class Std, Off Peak Return. Do i need to go to the station tomorrow (if i decide to travel on Tuesday instead? Also how do i explain it to the ticket office as the out going ticket would be effectively expired?

Hi guys, i purchased an open return ticket from Bolton to London Euston this morning, my plan was to travel from Bolton in the evening to London. In the evening i was feeling sick so decided not to bother trying to travel and probably look to go either tomorrow or tuesday once i feel better. My...

It was the paper version, I got it from the station. Ive attached a quick pic i took to show you how it was done. From the front you can see its now fully faded away

Hey guys for once i might be usefull and be able to advise. I have one of these and my pass faded out earlier in the year, initally my local station went and used some kind of stamp for it to show an imprint of the original dates, when that went away they said they could still tell the date as...
