I've just been looking at the fares for various journeys on flows price by South Western Railway. There are now numerous examples where the Anytime Day fares are cheaper than the more restrictive Off Peak Day fares. Templecombe to Exeter: Anytime Day Return £30.40 Off Peak Day Return £30.60...

I'm looking on lner.co.uk at single fares for Kings Cross to Edinburgh with LNER. The Super Off Peak Single, code SSU, is being offered to me, marked as 'discounted', which is correct. I'm aware of this long standing discount - 50% cheaper than the Super Off Peak Return (SSR), rather than the...

Do you have a free Flickr account? Do you have more than 1000 photos and/or videos uploaded to it? If so, in early 2019 you will have to either upgrade to a new paid for Flickr Pro account, or download your content beyond 1000 photos and/or videos off the platform. You will have to upgrade...

Passenger wants to travel from Cambridge through to London Bridge on their outward journey. On the way home they wish to start their return journey from King's Cross to take a fast train back to Cambridge. Travel from London Bridge to King's Cross will be independent of National Rail or TfL...

Salisbury to Dover Priory via Barnham fare. For this journey the Routeing Guide offers no valid routes that pass through Barnham. How does one determine the permitted routes one can take? Is it reasonable to work out permitted routes from Salisbury to Ford Group (of which Barnham is a member)...

As Tanyalee Davis has said numerous times this week, the experience she had at the hands of GWR is far from unique. Yet again she has been badly let down by the UK's railways. Yesterday on arrival at York nobody turned up with a ramp to assist her in alighting. That is despite having booked...

An absolutely disgraceful way to treat a disabled person. If this is wholly as reported then I would have zero sympathy for the Train Manager involved if they were to face disciplinary action. Beyond despicable to treat a disabled person like this. From the BBC:

Earlier this evening a naming ceremony took place at London Paddington with one of the New Measurement Train's power cars, 43013, being named in honour of outgoing Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne.

Can you start a journey at an intermediate station with a ticket from a station further away that has no time restrictions and is cheaper than any fare offered from that intermediate station? Even if it would not have been possible to have arrived by train at said intermediate station. I want...

The general rule is that the Network Railcard discount can not be used before 1000 Mon-Fri. On the Network Railcard website there are a list of easements to this rule. Such as allowing the discount on the 0823 from Exeter St Davids. For that departure (and its subsequent calling points which...

Reports coming in of a platform/train interface incident at Droitwich Spa Station this evening. A passenger apparently left a bag on the train and tried to reboard as the train departed. Fell between platform and train. Reports are life changing injuries with a loss of a limb.

From the Rail Delivery Group: http://www.raildeliverygroup.com/media-centre/press-releases/2017/469772179-2017-03-21.html Great customer friendly idea from the Rail Delivery Group. Here's hoping that other 'honest mistakes' can be disposed of in a more customer friendly way than Penalty Fares...

The franchise to run services on HS2 will be let together with Inter City West Coast (ICWC) services. From the BBC: So no competition between HS2 and ICWC. That'll be good for passengers then. :roll:

The 'public facing'* name: 'Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC)' is no more. From the Rail Delivery Group: Google searches and weblinks for ATOC now redirect to http://www.raildeliverygroup.com/ Was this a really necessary change? *Pedantry avoidance edit.

First Group's current Greater Western franchise, which started on 20th September 2015 said, with regard to Delay Repay: Seemingly enough wriggle room in that wording for First Group to decide it's not in their financial interest (which obviously comes ahead of what's best for the passenger) to...

A query is this, not criticism. I'm currently on a GWR service that has had a broken door window entirely removed. The train remains in service and appears to be running at line speed. I'm curious as to the safety aspect. All that has been done is a length of black and yellow tape affixed...

This morning I boarded a service having not had an opportunity to purchase a ticket. That is I had insufficient time to purchase at my interchange, and no opportunity afforded itself on the first train. Once aboard, and when I was approached by the ticket examiner, I provided proof of the...

Are TOCs obliged to get passengers with Buslink tickets to the destination printed on their ticket if earlier disruption has meant the last bus is missed?

Anyone else watching this? And done so from series 1? It just gets better and better. My jaw actually dropped tonight at the climax of this week's episode (series 3 episode 5/6). I uttered a rather loud "**** me" too. Hopefully not disturbing my host, who had already turned in. For those...

Looking at BRFares I see there are 1st Class Off Peak Returns for: Preston-Glasgow Central £75.00 Carlisle-Glasgow Central £52.00 Route: Virgin West Coast. I can't find these fares on online booking engines and they're not showing on Avantix either. Ticket office at Bristol TM couldn't...
