    Using mums Oyster card

    This is honestly unlikely. Yes, you will probably have to tell your employer about it. However, they are more concerned about offences that suggest you could be dangerous to the vulnerable people you're working with, not relatively minor stuff about train tickets. In the unlikely event they...

    Connectivity Challenges with Digital Railcard

    Does this work when the phones connected to the WiFi, and that connection itself is absolutely fine, but the WiFi provider isn't actually accessing the internet reliably?

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    It would be a very fun New Years indeed if I accidentally took a Night Tube to Sheffield on my way home!

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    Is there any talk of an out of station interchange being set up for Bond Street and Oxford Circus? With the entrances so close it would be very useful to enable a change between the Elizabeth and Jubilee/Bakerloo lines.

    Crossrail - operating discussion and opening day 24th May

    I think that's because from Autumn, Whitechapel will be the final stop on the central core before the split into the Abbey Wood and Shenfield branches. So if you're coming from Abbey Wood, Canary Wharf etc and want to go to Stratford, Shenfield etc you'll change at Whitechapel rather than...

    Magistrates Court Fines and ACRO (Criminal Record checks)

    1. I'm not sure on. However, since you appear to have been unaware of the criminal proceedings against you, you do have the right to make a statutory declaration and restart the case. The problem is that you look to be 100% guilty of an offence - you are guilty of a lesser 'bylaw' offence...

    Summons to magistrates court

    People better placed to advise will probably be along shortly. But I can reassure you that there is a 0% chance of you going to jail for this. The use of that penalty is astonishingly rare (perhaps never?), and is literally impossible for a first offence. The worst-case outcome here is a fine...

    Weather Disruption caused by storm Ciara (February 9th, 10th and 11th)

    I know it's a bit of a guessing game at best, but is there a rough idea of how likely the 05:52 London to Sheffield is to run in the morning? Right now there's apparently a tree on the line between London and Bedford but I'm hoping that gets cleared up overnight...

    I am truly scared.....

    If somebody came to your place of work and called you a prick for doing your job - while at least potentially committing a criminal act, no less - I'm sure you'd want your own employer to take the strongest possible action. It's entirely unacceptable conduct, an apology does not fix it, and it's...

    Penalty fare notice, sent to wrong address

    ASD = Autism Spectrum Disorder. Encompasses Autism and what once would've been referred to as Aspergers etc.

    London - Middlesbrough 05/01/20

    Yeah, that doesn't work sadly - got a shift the day before. But refunding it and catching the Megabus isn't the end of the world and actually saves a bit of cash so it's not all bad! I've already let one of my mates know, and he's debating how/whether Megabus can/will enforce "No Alcohol" -...

    Thank you very much, I really appreciate it :D

    London - Middlesbrough 05/01/20

    No worries. I'll look at coach times and phone this lot up for a refund. I do find it unbelievable that they can sell me a ticket for a train less than a month in advance, decide they wont't run it after all, and not even bother to tell me about it. No wonder people drive!...

    London - Middlesbrough 05/01/20

    Damn. Any chance you can link me to that 12.03? Looks like the earliest I can get to York is 12.47 on National Rail...

    London - Middlesbrough 05/01/20

    Hiya, A few weeks back (12/12/19) I booked return travel to Middlesbrough to go to the football on the 5th of January - a super off-peak single outward, and an avance coming back. My confirmation email shows this train was due to leave Kings Cross at 10.30, with a change at York to get to...

    Split Ticket with Season Ticket

    Sorry, got a further question on this. I'm thinking of travelling from Leicester to London on a day when the main line is down, meaning that NRE reccomends travelling to Nuneaton and changing there. This means I don't physically pass through Kettering - am I able to still use a...

    Caught with a Zone 1&2 Travel Card... I was coming from Zone 4

    There's a fine too. Most likely around 50% of your weekly income (with £120 assumed to be your income if it's lower than that).

    Rejected Appeal for no Ticket

    As much as this situation absolutely sucks and in my opinion the company are out of order in fining you - please don't succumb to the temptation to do this. There's every chance you'd be caught, and the consequences for that could be serious - a court appearence, substantial 3-figure fine and...

    Split Ticket with Season Ticket

    That's all really helpful, thank you! There's no barriers at Harborough so that shouldn't be an issue, but I'll bare in mind about staff! :) Thanks for the advice! I could afford one, but the nature of my work means I'm only likely to actually be based in Kettering for a couple of months so it...
