    The trainline

    I have had a lot of dealing with call centres in my time and asking to speak to a supervisor in an Indian call centre will get you nowhere. All it will get you, is either: Cut off or Transferred back into the generic queue, so someone else has to deal with you

    Fare Dodgers!

    Reading the original posts by 1V53 and IPT, for me at least, I felt they were just describing what they have experienced in their line of duties - namely that a disproportionate amount of those fare evading on their services were ethnically Black/Asian. Whether their intentions were racist or...

    RailSail Irish Rail issued ticket - valid on Tube?

    The relevant wording of that agreement is as follows: As far as I can tell there is nothing mentioning a requirement for the + symbol, neither within the extract above or the document as a whole. I did also check the ATOC-LRT Agreement which brings together the Through Ticketing...

    Group Stations

    I haven't read into the semantics of extended availability recently but what I can say with confidence is that when two stations share the same routeing point (in this case Bradford), there is no need to even contemplate going as far into the NRG as you have here, as the only services that are...

    Group Stations

    Well I'm sorry but it does matter to the school of thought, that is arguing that when you buy a ticket from an "XXX Stations" origin, you are permitted to depart from whichever station in the group you wish. And the shortest route from FS to New Pudsey we can now say is conclusively via Leeds.

    Group Stations

    I'm sorry clagmonster but because you have mentioned these distances so many times in this thread, I felt I had to check the wording that is located within the NRT. When I checked, I found no mention of any walking distances between any of the Bradford Stations?? The list I found was as follows:

    Group Stations

    What does it clarify sorry? He has expressed his opinion that is it, he has clarified absolutely nothing. No one said there was a Forster Sq to New Pudsey ticket? What people are saying though is that a Bradford Stations to New Pudsey ticket will have a number of "shortest routes" depending...

    Group Stations

    The Halifax to Frizinghall example is an excellent one as I don't think anyone thinking logically would claim that passengers would be forced to take the walk between FS and Interchange. Just think of the uproar you'd receive from the elderly/disability lobby if these groups were to be...

    Group Stations

    I am sure Barry Doe has an opinion on this and it seems this is an issue he has encountered before, but his opinion is just that, an opinion, it is not fact. Barry Doe has provided nothing extra (i.e. official documentation/wording) to the discussion on this forum and until we get some more...

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    But can anyone confirm what the difference between a Flexi-pass and a Carnet is? Because if there is no difference, then surely the Carnet is deemed a Leisure Travel Pass?

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    I see what island and north are saying but I think I might actually concur with clagmonster on this after reading The Manual. Under the Season Ticket tab in The Manual, the top of the page has an overview and list of definitions for various terms including a definition for Leisure Travel Pass...

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    As has been documented on the forum countless times previously, there are two scenarios in which the train "does not" need to call at the station where you switch from one ticket to another. The ticket combination suggested to the OP comes under condition (c) above, as the OP would have a...

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    Do apoligise, I have just seen EC's Carnet is a return product as opposed to the more traditional single ticket variety!

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    You do realise the EC Carnet is for 5 tickets and the FCC Carnet is for 10 tickets! Thus your previous comparison of £376 vs £166+£32 actually should be £752 vs £166+£32. It really does go to show how much money RUK can end up saving people!

    PBO - KGX 3 days a week

    How did you calculate the PBO to KGX Carnet fare of £376.00? You can't be referring to the FCC Carnet as that has no PBO option, however I did see that EC also operate a Carnet Scheme, but I couldn't get to a figure of £376 using their pricing structure either.

    This is correct. The FRPP goes into very specific detail on this topic as follows: HTH.

    Routing Guide Query - Glasgow to Chathill

    I have given a brief overview of ORCATS before in previous topics (http://www.railforums.org.uk/showthread.php?p=323829), hope the following clears things up for you: Under the Ticketing Settlement Agreement, there are two methods of allocating revenue between TOCs. The first is the ORCATS...

    Weak Ticket Barriers - Midland Mainline / East Midland Trains

    I thought dhutch did have a valid ticket, however the mechanism in place to collect it, was not working as it should. From what dhutch has stated the station staff did not follow correct procedure as laid out within the FRPP which states that station staff should direct the customer to the...
