    Stopper allowed out first

    1C77 and 1C78 is a near-daily occurance. 1C78 usually then ends up late at Cogload so 2C73 gets to go first and follows it all the way to Plymouth. Passengers on 1C78 miss out on the Ivybridge connection onto 2C73 which invariable leads to a last minute scramble to get from 1C78 at Plymouth to...

    Poor GWR Assistance regarding journey to Weymouth on 08/04

    Confirmed on Thursday 28th March via internal staff briefing: GWR have got ticket acceptance for other TOCs' tickets via any reasonable route on ASLEF strike days.

    Danger UXB! Plymouth to Liskeard and Gunnislake cancellations 23/02/24

    I received mine at 17.31 despite being in Plymouth all day. So rather useless.

    GWR PAYG

    There's an issue of gatelines not clearing out ITSO transactions, so they build up until the transaction store is full and cannot process any more.

    Have Marlow trains been running today ?

    TRUST has failed today.

    Stations with Opposite Numbering on Platforms

    You can follow the GWML all the way from Paddington to Penzance and find the lower numbered platforms are always on the down side, with 4 exceptions: Swindon, Bristol Temple Meads, Lostwithiel and Penzance.

    Ticket Issuing Error - Threatened with Prosecution

    The cold hard facts are, once tickets have been chosen to be fulfilled by 1 method, they cannot be changed to anything else. As they're still in the post, they are not retrieveable by any other method. As with all tickets, if you do not have them before travel you are obliged to buy new tickets...

    Ticket Issuing Error - Threatened with Prosecution

    You have a £1.00 post charge - I suspect they're coming in the mail

    New/Recently Opened Stations With/Without Ticket Offices

    Isn't Reading West currently being rebuilt to include a ticket office which'll probably now never open?

    Long Weekender fare dispute (GWR data error & GWR staff incorrectly denying travel)

    This suggests that the ticket was issued with the correct validity on it but the interpretation displayed on trainline is wrong. Much in the same way that all return tickets are described as 'open' on trainline.

    Blind passenger sues NR over lack of tactile paving

    I thought it was the Eden Park incident that brought about the enhanced eagerness to install tactile paving.

    Bus itineraries from a train ONLY station

    This has allegedly been corrected, due to this forum.

    Split tickets and railcard

    This is easily replicable, I get the same issue when doing a dummy booking for tomorrow. In fact 16-17 Saver discount is not being offered in the Severn Beach line at all, even when searching fares just between stations on that line.

    ENCTS and London buses

    All buses accept ENCTS in their country, but they don't necessarily automatically accept all ENCTS by touching on, there's usually a separate button on the ticket machine for 'out of local area' cards that will record the journey after a visual check. One of the advantages of bus companies...

    ENCTS and London buses

    It may be "only an ITSO card", but it's the coding behind the ITSO card. Every organisation has a unique key to decode its own data from HOPS (Host Operator or Processing System). Another operator has to request that key from the original operator in order to read others cards. Bus companies...
