I have no doubt what AXC are up to, and id have no problem taking their blatant lies (as in the letter they sent out) further. However it is still libel to say they are robbing you. Simple way of looking at it: Are they robbing you? No they are not (a cheaper valid ticket does not make...

Unfortunately I believe AXC would have a case against you for Libel. But not for loss of earnings. Have AXC really overcharged anyone? Not really. If someone asks for a season ticket between Nuneaton and Brum, and thats what they are given and charged for, then that is not robbery or...

No what I mean is there is no supplement for using HS services on the classic network. ie Ashford to Ramsgate. Sorry if it wasnt clear. Also by rights, the supplement is only meant to be for the HS1 section. But the last time i checked, journeys such as Dover to St Pancras had a higer...

Im with Yorkie on this, in that im not sure if South Eastern can really enforce this. Unless they are now allowed to put their own restrictions on the 'appropriate connecting trains'. No doubt thats the argument SE would come back with. But is it the case?

SET have messed up full stop. They are expensive. Fares are far too complicated, no matter what route you are on, and HS services have led to virtually all classic services being slowed down. The only stations to really benefit are those East of Ashford, say to Dover and Ramsgate/ Margate...

Exactly as i saw it. Both the woman at Ebbsfleet and the guard tried to explain how SE saw the term 'Any Permitted'. Apparently it means any reasonable route, or something like that, and SE dont see that as meaning HS1 (id love to know how it doesnt). Needless to say, SE seem to have tried their...

Oh you are right, a print out is wise. However I wouldnt. Just because i refuse to take a print out for something that is blatantly valid. Its unlikely i shall ever need to do said journey with that ticket again anyway. I only used it to get me home after spending all day with the Kent Rover...

Wow. Wont change my belief though that fares are too expensive!! That is amazingly cheap though.

I never realised how seperate the platforms were until I changed there the other day. Again, despite travelling through there quite frequently like yourself. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Surely adding a clause or something would still be hidden too much to be fair? SE...

This is supposedly how SE see things, but it isnt correct. Any permitted means exactly that. Any route permitted by the routeing guide. As the shortest possible route is via HS1, then HS1 is a valid route on Any Permitted tickets. Also, if a ticket isnt valid via a specific route, then this has...

Oh i know its valid. Just an odd one, and surely SE are wrong, telling staff not to sell it. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Ebbsfleet is like 2 stations. Trains to/ from Faversham call at one part of it, and those to/ from Ashford call at the lower section. You have to leave...

Not sure if this has come up before, anyway, something i came across the other day. Brought myself said single online (FGWs site). Price £19.50. Journey planner shows route via Ebbsfleet and HS1. When i pick ticket up, it says Route: Any Permitted. No problems so far you would think...

Depends on the situation, and whether or not i thought they were trying it on. Wouldnt matter whether or not the train was going to be delayed. If someone honestly hasnt got enough money, then i would probably do the decent thing. The problem is, sometimes you dont know who is genuine and who...

I was getting mainly at the fact my brother works on there:lol: Pride of Kent is average. Bit boring for me. To be fair, Dover- Calais died the day the Pride of Provence left.:cry:

Basically the Dover to Calais fare is part fare, and part 'port taxes' (similar to airlines including 'airport taxes' in their fares. What it is saying is that if you have a Priv card, then you dont need to pay the fare part, (so P&O dont make money from you), but you have to pay the port...

This bit made my day. Proved my point that part of the reason Off Peak and Anytime tickets are sky high, is because there are too many advances. Introduce more advances, and walk up fares go up. XC would of course claim they were being nice and running at a loss with the walk up fares...

Thats a misconception? How are you meant to buy it then? Or are you trying to say you should buy any other ticket and get it refunded? You are still buying the ticket on the train or at the destination though. Thats a very good misconception though, because I wouldnt buy anything from the...

You could also say its up to LU to ensure the staff understand all the types of ticket that could be seen on the underground. If they are only going by a little cross, then they do not understand the tickets well enough, hence they are not trained properly. It may be fine by the LU rules, but it...

You can survive without the payment card, but you would have to go to the ticket desk, or whatever they call it!!

1- Most people who travel have to travel regardless. Very few travel for the fun of it. In fact, in my case, travel for the fun of it has stopped, because of the costs of off peak tickets. In fact some travel which I need to make has switched to car. 2- Advance tickets are obviously better...
