I deal with the two points there is reverse. There are no such things as English pounds (not least because the Bank of England is not an English bank) so Scottish banks (in as much as banks such as RBS remain Scottish) can not hold them as security. What does happen is that all non Bank of...

And that is exactly what was formed. The Bank of England is the United Kingdom central bank. In theory both currencies were merged to form one new currency (in practice the English system was used as the new currency). Therefore there is no such thing as English or Scottish currency, nor...

Schwerin is worthy of a few hours. Very pleasant and relaxed.

Travelling from Cork via Dublin, with an overnight at Dundalk, thence to Belfast and finally Antrim (nearest station to Belfast International Airport). One of our party is a last minute joinee and has left it too late to get free staff coupons. He will, however, be entitled to a FIP discounted...

In certain parts of Scotland fair evasion is rife. Our new revenue protection officers have been instructed not to stop passengers without tickets from boarding trains in case it hurts their feelings. I rarely work a train without two or three "refusniks" and other associated scammers. I had...

Did you mean arrival station? Your departure station would be Wrexham General.

Thanks for that.

When we have an adult eligible for the above discounts they can bring a companion with them who also receives the same discount. How does it work when the disabled passenger is a child?

I'm travelling from Berlin Alexanderplatz to Stettin this coming Sunday. I've got a FIP International Free Coupon for DBAG but as I'm travelling with two others (no staff facilities) I'm contemplating the Berlin Brandenburg Länder Ticket. It appears that we can get a train as far as Angermünde...

I vaguely remember a £3 admin change (but that may have been a donation to the SNCO's tea fund). However, my understanding is that there is now an actual cost for these now.

You might, but the way to boost commission is to encourage on train sales - that said not everyone can see the bigger picture.

It is possible for this to happen - in my experience not often but not impossible.

I believe that there is more to do at Latour now. When I was last there there was a bar doing pizzas right outside the station. I didn't fancy the connection at Latour station going north so I just walked from Puicerda into Latour-de-Carol itself and had a few beers before heading to the...

In cases such as these the onus is on you to contact the railway company with proof that you hold a railcard under the railcard amnesty scheme. Hopefully you have not missed the deadline. Otherwise, they may treat the matter as if no railcard was held and escalate it - ultimately to court...

Jobshare is certainly a thing with conductors at ScotRail. You ask via your traincrew manager (or current equivalent) and a timescale for action can be discussed. Often it can help if you can find "another partner in crime" to share with - or are able to fill a job share vacancy at the next...

A holding reply would be you informing them that you are currently abroad and are unable to deal with the matter in the timescale requested. However, you will be able to deal with it timeously upon your return. Basically, informing them of your situation and asking for more time to deal with...

I'm not often on TPE these days but in my previous experience you would often get a conductor and revenue inspector working in tandem on certain occasions. The conductor would generally take the lead when dealing with vulnerable passengers. I could be wrong, so do check carefully for any...

If the IRCAS phone number is chargeable (and it is) don't use it for this matter. Follow the advice above and submit a written response. You may still receive continued escalation correspondence, but as you have paid there is not really any meaningful action that can be taken against you, as...

Thanks, I didn't think so. However, input the code into my retail system and it accepted it - too good to be true.

Is the GS3 groupsave discount available on the off peak (saver) fare from Edinburgh to Preston - specifically on Transpennine Express? TIA.
