    Why does the railway give passengers obvious lies?

    I waited for the London train at Leeds this week. Originally the board said it was on time. It then added a few minutes late every so often. However I knew it was much later than this using RTT as the incoming train was delayed for 30 minutes. It could have never set off before it had arrived!

    NR Discounts on London journeys (+TFL)

    Well yes but it feels like a step backwards. I used contactless like most people and now, as a mature student, I’m entitled to a 18-25 railcard. I have to remember to use Oyster on the tube (off peak only afaik) to get a discount. They’ve really pushed us towards using contactless rather than...

    Paid for parking on Trainline app and got penalty notice

    I wonder if you clicked on a misleading advert. It looks like Just Park is a broker of parking spaces.
