    Implied contract terms - ticket delivery methods

    I’d agree. The loss here, which could have been easily avoided as mentioned, would make me put this firmly in the “life’s too short” bucket in deciding whether it’s worth my time (let alone anyone else’s) taking it any further.

    Govia Thameslink ‘Doughnutting’ offence

    I’m sure you’re right, but I don’t think it’s inappropriate to advise someone that their wording might be construed in the wrong manner.

    Govia Thameslink ‘Doughnutting’ offence

    This 100%. It has the air of “but no more…”

    DfT appoints Alex Hynes as Director General, Rail Services

    Current rate of progress is approximately 3 route miles per year, based on 2021 to 2025, so that might excite you, but it certainly doesn’t me.

    TPE irregularity report - no railcard

    We are getting a bit ahead of ourselves, as we haven’t seen what any letter they send says, and whether it only discusses the one instance or follows a deeper investigation into your travel history.

    Train cancelled, can I claim for car parking?

    So out of curiosity, if a train had run but was late enough that it was likely you would have missed your connection, would you have done the same thing, and asked for several days car parking cost? Because whether it's a train, bus, or taxi, the railway provided a service for you to use...

    TPE irregularity report - no railcard

    No, I would wait now until you get a letter. Best to let the process they have work.

    TPE irregularity report - no railcard

    One difficulty I have reviewing the above (and I always try to think of how the investigators will see it), is that the statements that you thought you had a railcard but turns out you didn’t , doesn’t ring true. (Unlike if your railcard has expired, which we often see in here.). Why did you...

    Train cancelled, can I claim for car parking?

    Indeed, and if you waited for the taxi provided to get you there, it would have been very clear that it was the railway's fault.

    What’s gonna happen to me?

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. TfL tend not to offer Out of Court settlements, but from what you have said there is some chance that they may decide not to prosecute. This might only happen after they have sent you a letter and you have explained the situation. FWIW if open I always wait...

    Train cancelled, can I claim for car parking?

    Had you waited for the taxi, if you had missed your train you would have been delayed by an hour into London. Are you saying you really you couldn’t have coped with that delay? I suspect having incurred the cost of a taxi and you didn’t give it a chance to get you to the station in time, I...

    What’s gonna happen to me?

    Thanks. So just to clarify, did you “ not tap in”, or did you tap in but it was rejected,( as in your original post)?

    What’s gonna happen to me?

    Welcome to the forum! I think we need a bit more information to help you. How were the gates closing - were you following someone through? And when you say you have used the same card since Sep 23, has it been accepted up until now, or have you been using a rejected card to try and tailgate...

    Report for prosecution/ short faring

    Thanks for letting us know the outcome - it’s always appreciated. That would appear to be a very good result under the circumstances, and good to hear that the lesson has been learnt!

    Got caught touching in on exit gates for over a year

    Thank you for clarifying that.

    Invalid Tickets - Going to court?

    Have you subsequently been able to reconcile the journeys you took in relation to those two tickets? Were they the return half of the ticket by any chance, and if so was valid for more than one day? If yes it’s not an uncommon practice to attempt to reuse a ticket that hasn’t been scanned to...

    GWR Class 230 Information, Movements & Discussion.

    I hope we’re not going to see months of delay whilst negotiations with ASLEF go on about the terms offered to drive them or the ergonomic qualities of the cab.

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    At a guess, cost. Remember the overall project is already costing a huge amount, even before the over-run. Given the benefit you describe would not be transport related, it would be reasonable for the funding to come from another source.

    GWR Class 230 Information, Movements & Discussion.

    Seems like a press launch today, with a tweet from IanVisits at the launch, and this from GWR:- POWER UP! Our industry-leading fast-charge battery train trial will officially start on Monday! The technology has been rigorously developed by specialist engineers leading the way in #GWRinnovation...
