    Delay Repay Automated Calculation Incorrect

    I was travelling on an off-peak return last weekend; the return train I’d planned to get was cancelled (TPE leg of a Noethern/TPE journey) and I hopped on the next available journey according to an online journey planner. It was a different route/TOC (Norther/EMR/Avanti) but equally valid. I...

    Pros and Cons of Various Train Booking Websites / Apps

    Hi all, I tend to use the forum ticket site (split tickets) or LNER app (easy to use on mobile) for long-distance trains, with the Scotrail app for anything in Scotland (due to, love them or loathe them, m-tickets and, outside the current peak fares trial, Super Off Peak Tickets). However...

    Travelling with the ‘wrong’ railcard (two together / 16-25)

    I’ve got a few Advance tickets booked for next weekend with my partner, using our Two Together railcard. Unfortunately, she’s not well and may not be able to travel. I also have my own 16-25 railcard (as a mature student - sadly not 16-25!). I’m sure the tickets technically aren’t valid, but...

    What exactly is the significance of 31 March 2022 for the end of 'Book with Confidence'. Various TOC website and the National Rail one seem a little ambiguous to me. Is it... - Tickets purchased after 31 March 2022 are not eligible, but any ticket booked before that date for travel at any date...

    Period Return Glasgow to Edinburgh

    When travelling between Edinburgh and Glasgow, the only reruns offered are day returns (£13.60 off peak / £26.20 peak). If returning on a different day, you have to buy two singles (£13.40 off peak / £15.30 peak). However, booking a journey to another station a bit further will give the option...

    TPE Delay - Taxi Reimbursement

    A few weeks ago I was travelling Transpennine Express from Manchester to Edinburgh on an Advance ticket. I saw about 90 minutes before travelling that my train would be terminated at Preston with a replacement bus (due to lack of staff). It was due in at 11:30pm, late enough, so I tweeted and...
