    Railcard & Contactless anomalies

    I would either offer to provide this information via direct message to members you trust, or by attending a fares workshop (@yorkie can probably provide more info re these) and share it that way. You may know that the risk of publishing useful tickets here is that the TOCs will also see and may...

    Can AZTEC (e-)tickets be CCST (Credit card sized tickets)?

    understood, although in the first post I make that point and suggest that the valid until date could easily fit underneath the Aztec code. There is so much free space. A few people have suggested that not everything would fit on a credit card sized ticket. I understand this point of view. But...

    Can AZTEC (e-)tickets be CCST (Credit card sized tickets)?

    No, because yours cannot be manually read and does not display all the relevant information. I demonstrated folding in the original post in such a way that all of the information would fit on a credit card sized ticket. I know a ticket can be folded but I also know that all the information on...

    Trainline 'not available to buy'

    They do to the north of the Thames between St Pancras and St Albans. Through the night, trains only run once an hour, so for many passengers that might be a problem

    Trainline 'not available to buy'

    As an aside, it may be worth having a plan B and checking the night before – and on the morning before leaving for the station – if your train is running. I’m often on the Thameslink route to the north of the Thames, and overnight trains have had significant cancellation issues in the past few...

    2025 fares from 2 March 2025 now in journey planners
