    Can Revenue override a Guard

    I’ll start by saying I know I don’t officially have a leg to stand on, Advance tickets are cheap for a reason. However, my plans genuinely changed for today, after I’d already bought a ticket - a meeting of the flat owners at my block was called last week for this afternoon, which I really...

    Quick help please Penmaenmawr

    Been overcarried at Conwy as nobody said the front door wouldn’t open. I was told to be in the front two carriages at Chester by the train crew waiting to take it forward, but not informed about the doors. Now waiting for the 15:10 back to Conwy, but I’m not sure if it’s a request stop. Don’t...

    If strike is called off when you've already made other arrangements and destroyed your ticket/s?

    Just wondering what would happen if the 1st March strike is called off (this is hypothetical, I'm not expecting it to be) when someone has already made other arrangements and submitted their cut up ticket/s for a refund. Would the refund claim still be allowed if the original journey is now not...

    Off Peak Return, restriction code 8A

    According to NRE restriction code 8A states break of journey is not permitted except to change trains. Does this mean starting/ending short is also not permitted? Ticket is Off Peak Return, return valid within one month. On Transport for Wales and Merseyrail. Short end/start would be on the...

    Liverpool Central toilets closing 15th Jan for 12 weeks for refurb

    Saw this on Facebook a couple of days ago. Not sure if it has reached this forum but posting here in case it hasn't. Not sure how to attach the photo, will give it a try but apologies if it goes wrong... Apparently we are to use James Street or Lime Street if needed! Moorfields seems not...

    Bridlington platform numberings

    There only seems to be platforms 4, 5 and 6 at Bridlington. Anyone know what happened to 1, 2 and 3?

    Do any websites sell train ticket vouchers?

    Not sure how it would work, but it would be brilliant if you could buy gift vouchers that can be exchanged for rail tickets. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. How about adding it to Trainsplit and/or the forum's site?

    Unhelpful WMT Journey Check info.

    Currently showing on West Midlands journey check in the drill down information (Live Travel Updates; Birmingham New Street Lines; Hereford via Worcester; Birmingham New Street): https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ Apart from the convoluted way of finding out this information (by accident...

    WMR no trains New Street to Hereford after 13:50 today

    As per the heading, is this acceptable on a non-WMR strike day? There should be a (approx)**50 hourly service until 21:00 on a Friday. I am booked on the 14:50. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall after travelling in the opposite direction on Monday, and have made other arrangements...

    Less than 50% of delay repay being claimed

    Please delete if there's another thread about this... https://nation.cymru/news/minority-of-affected-passengers-seeking-delay-repay-compensation-union-says/ Caught this on the radio news briefs in the small hours of this morning. Was quite surprised that it's the RMT who have flagged this up...

    TPE seat reservations non-existent today, is it a Sunday thing?

    I was surprised when I booked a ticket a week ago on TPE not to get an automatic seat reservation. However when I boarded at Redcar Central I noticed there were no reservation slips on the train, which at that point wasn't at all busy, having started at Saltburn one stop earlier. However it...

    Longshot - found ticket

    If anyone collected a rather expensive ticket (over £100) from Carlisle ToD around midday, for travel tomorrow, they left the ticket and collection slip in the machine. It is with the ticket counter staff.

    West Midlands Delay Repay form

    It seems WMR still have a problem with their online DR claim form. Submitted one last night, and today got asked for further information, ticket type, duration etc., which I'm sure I already gave them. However I went through the process, and it also asked for another ticket photo, so I tried...

    Refund for strike day - Advance ticket

    Have had an email from Trainsplit regarding a booking I made for 30th September, advising that my journey will be cancelled. Due to the strike I have abandoned my intended journey and will not now be travelling. They offer me the chance to claim a refund, but on clicking on "I don't wish to...

    Convoluted journey with only one timed train

    I have a through Advance ticket Dunfermline to Preston, and the only timed train is the TPE from Motherwell to Preston. On the Scotrail legs it’s got me changing at Haymarket and Bellshill. Would it be okay to take a Scotrail direct from Haymarket to Motherwell? The connections aren’t detailed...

    TPE night before cancellations - refunds?

    I'm trying to find out where I stand regarding P-coded (think that's the term) cancellations if I have Advance tickets bought several weeks ago. Seems a simple enough query but I haven't been able to find the definitive answer. Has anyone successfully claimed for a cancellation if they don't...

    Restriction code 2V

    https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ticket-types/validity/2v/ Does anyone know what this actually means? Does it mean that you can only break your journey at the change of train points on your ticket itinerary, but not at intermediate stations? I have an Off Peak Return Birmingham Stations to...

    TfW cancellation policy

    I was (apparently incorrectly) advised this morning by TPE who I had booked through that my journey between Hereford and Newport on Monday 26th June at 08:11 is cancelled. The details said tickets are valid “on the next train”. This is no good to me as my ticket is a through Advance to...
