How are you getting to the railcard? Every route I've tried doesn't load without an internet connection.

Does anyone know what the final two 2-digit numbers refer to? E.g. in post #988 you have 11657-11659-4439-9132-34-02-00. 11657-11659: ticket number(s); 4439 machine number; 9132 NLC. But what do 02 and 00 mean? Looking on tickets I have, it's nearly always 03-00 or 03-01. Not sure what it...

Follow-up question: there's only one barcode but it's a return ticket. Can I use that for both the outbound and return journeys?

I bought a ticket online earlier from Chiltern Railways website. Stupidly forgot to select "Collect at Station" (like I do everyday) and have ended up with a mobile ticket. I bought it to London Bridge (which was lucky because I normally select Waterloo for simplicity), which prints on paper...

Thank you for the link, that's really helpful. The list only includes Cannon Street NR to Bank as "Magnetic & PAYG". I came out of the LU station at Cannon Street, which is listed as "PAYG only". Interchanging between Monument and Bank takes too long during rush hour, so I may try changing at...

Does anyone know the official policy on out of station interchanges with Zone U* tickets on the London Underground (background: these tickets are add-ons for National Rail tickets giving a single or return journey on the underground or DLR). I made a journey from Aldgate East to Waterloo...

I was passing Fenchurch Street today and popped in there. Three windows, only one can do Oyster (it's the only one that still has Cubic FasTIS). That window was closed, but they fetched someone to open it. Three minutes later, the vouchers were on my Oyster card. Good service and much...

I'll give Liverpool Street a try next time I'm there. I would've tried Shoreditch High Street, but haven't had good experiences with LO stations and National Rail matters.

Many years ago, I loaded a huge wad of National Rail Travel Vouchers (the ones that used to be green) and London Underground's equivalent (the blue and red ones) onto my Oyster card at a tube station. I now have a number of Rail Travel Vouchers again (slightly bluer these days), nearing expiry...

Is it possible to claim Delay Repay on a break of journey? I hold Ash Vale to London Zones 1-6 via Woking as an annual season. Yesterday I travelled up to Staines from Ash Vale. On the way back, I broke my journey at Egham, Virginia Water and Chertsey, spending about 45 mins to one hour in...

The gold card discount shows for me: http://www.brfares.com/#!fares?orig=1072&dest=H426&rlc=NGC

I hold a Ash Vale to London Zones 1-6 season ticket, via. Woking. According to journey planners, you can do the following on such a day ticket: Walk to North Camp North Camp to Guildford Guildford - London (Waterloo and Clapham Juction both give this route) I've scoured the routeing guide, but...

I don't understand the obsessions they currently have over putting foot passengers and their hand lugage through a security scanner and metal detector. They don't do the same with cars, which makes the check rather pointless. It does seem like a palavour compared to a recent ferry I took...

Thanks for all the replies. Ash is actually closer to home than North Camp (and parking easier) so that option is fine. You'd have thought (in all these years since privatisation) that the question of "what train can I use my ticket on" would be easier to answer.

Contact them again and ask them to reconsider. The 10:00 Kings Cross to Aberdeen arrived 63 minutes late. Unless they can show another TOC made you miss the 10:00, then you would be eligible for Delay Repay.

Perhaps such a system could be combined with a properly implemented smartcard system to prove the journey was actually made, i.e. if you want to be eligible for enhanced compensation, then you must use a smartcard.

That's the case for the newer low cost airlines, but traditional airlines still do connecting flights. In fact, even Ryanair do a limited number of connecting flights now. In this case, the delay is calculated on the arrival time at the final destination. Even better than the railways, the...

That's how it works with airline delays. After all, it's being marketed as "compensation", when in fact it's just a partial refund. There is no compensation about it, if the amount is less than the ticket cost.

I'm surprised you ever get your ticket checked on the 17:25 or 17:55, I certainly don't. Maybe the guards target first class?

Can anyone clarify which routes are valid for an outboundary season ticket? I hold Ash Vale to London Zones 1-6, route via Woking. Do I have to choose routeing to London, or can I choose any boundary station covered by the Travelcard element? The reason I ask it that I'd like to know whether...
