    Excessing return from unstaffed station beyond ticket validity?

    Bought an off peak return from Walton-on-the-Naze to Wivenhoe, but should have bought one to Hythe today. Travelling home, I presume that unless I buy a single from Hythe to Wivenhoe, I'm at risk.

    How could the current GA stock shortage be resolved in the short term?

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/greater-anglia-rolling-stock-updates.143516/ OK, what is my budget, i.e. how much can NSRail be fined for turning the franchise into a shambles? Are there MK3-based emus off-lease that can easily be put into service? Are there...

    08:00 Walton-on-the-Naze to London Liverpool St

    A couple of times I have been on this train a particular guard has announced, pulling into Thorpe-le-Soken 'this is now a peak service, ALL passengers holding off-peak tickets should leave this train and catch the next service'. The problem is that online GA ticket sales give an off-peak fare to...
