    Single-use plastic waste on trains? Discussion

    I'd expect that only a tiny proportion of food and beverages consumed on trains is bought onboard.

    RMT Industrial Action Update to members

    I've never worked on the railways, but I have worked in a variety of jobs and sectors over the last 20-odd years. In other sectors I've dealt with, any talk of 'modernising' terms and conditions generally gives employees more opportunity to take control over their work-life balance. The opposite...

    TrainSplit beta site

    I have found a bug when I try to include or exclude an operator for a search. I was trying to exclude a couple of TOCs to filter out journeys that were not eligible for Groupsave, and kept getting the attached error which prevented my search: This may be related to the additional (-) line...

    TrainSplit beta site

    I've just noticed that on the Beta site I can't get an itinerary for a journey leaving in the current 15 minute time period, whereas on the current live site it allows some tolerance. Assuming that this could be quite a simple fix. On a more positive note, I've used the Beta site a few times...

    TrainSplit beta site

    Thanks for the update / confirmation. I remain to be convinced that the new site is an improvement on the grid layout, but I will use it with an open mind and see how it goes!

    TrainSplit beta site

    I see a beta version is available on Trainsplit, but it's not clear what the most appropriate means of providing feedback is so I'm starting a thread here. https://beta.trainsplit.com/ The Beta doesn't appear to have a toggle to select flexible fares, making comparison of flexible fares...

    Special Offers Discussion

    Pretty underwhelmed really. I didn't stay up especially, but woke in the early hours so decided to take a look. Nothing there that would save me money on the journeys I have planned compared to the splits I'd already identified. From a brief look at available tickets from my corner of the...

    Break of journey - restriction SK

    I'm looking at a ticket where the only restriction is code SK. The 'validity' section on BRFares states that break of journey on the outward portion of the ticket is prohibited by the fare's restrictions, however I note that SK applies only Monday to Friday. Am I right in the understanding that...

    HS2 Progress near Kenilworth

    Are the dates for this public knowledge?

    In my opinion e-tickets are not a national standard

    You and your colleagues have done more than enough to explain the situation. Time to stop engaging with the troll.

    End of the line for return rail tickets

    If 'surge pricing' is an accurate description of what the DfT are trying to achieve, then they need to stop talking about simplifying fares. If passengers are faced with an opaque and ever-changing array of fares for journeys that were previously reliably available at the same price...

    End of the line for return rail tickets

    Surge pricing? Some might say prices have been surging for years :rolleyes:

    New offer made to RMT by Rail Delivery Group

    It just blows my mind that the Government can say with a straight face that these changes to T&Cs are "modernisations". In all other sectors I'm aware of the movement is towards better work-life balance. Certainly in my (non-rail) job a regular subject in meetings with management is how we can...

    Temporary Timetable 13th Dec - 7th Jan

    Quite. It's almost as if the ruling party want the unions to reject the offer, in order to justify bringing in more draconian anti-union laws to benefit their donors. Almost. If anyone thinks this is just about the railways, or just about public service workers, they need to think again.

    November strike action on National Rail suspended - impact on next week's service

    XC have just tweeted that the strike timetable will remain for tomorrow.

    Uber retailing National Rail tickets

    Having taken a journey through to the payment page (but not paid), "Uber Cash" seems to be a valid payment method. Presumably Uber vouchers simply top up your Uber Cash.

    Uber retailing National Rail tickets

    On first view the system seems a bit clunky. No initial input of what time you wish to travel, so could need a lot of scrolling to find the departure you want. For anyone under 26 you must input the exact age. Would be interested to hear the experiences of anyone who uses the Uber app to...

    Uber retailing National Rail tickets

    I've just had an email from Uber, saying that rail tickets (alongside coach and Eurostar tickets) can now be bought on their app, offering 10% back in Uber credits.
