Ok - so the 'right' thing to do should be activate both today and tomorrow, then submit delay repay for having not travelled, and I would expect to get back 25% of the cost of the ticket (2 of 8 days)?

Can anyone advise what the rules / process is for a Flexi Season? I was planning to travel on Wednesday and Friday this week, but based on advice will not. Obviously that doesn't 'use' two of my flexi days, but I won't have the need to use them prior to the ticket expiring, so am likely to...

It’s definitely not that, the ticket displayed on screen clearly states ‘Ticket Type: Flexi Season’ - the inspector is not getting an error of any type he is simply firmly of the view that ‘Season ticket’ in that context means monthly or annual. He keeps telling me that it’s quite normal for...

That is magic! I can’t believe I’d never thought to read through for the definitions Thank you so much!

That was also my thinking!

Thank you all, and agreed I have and will maintain polite composure! While at the same time maintaining my opinion that the guard is incorrect. I will of course provide my details if requested, the situation I am keen to avoid is being made to pay some money that I then have the hassle of...

Hello - I use a split flexi season ticket between DID-SLO and SLO-PAD. I have been doing so for a few months and have had infrequent ticket inspections with no issues from all the inspectors except for one who is absolutely adamant the combination isn’t valid unless the train stops at Slough...

Agree - I have used the lounge many times since achieving Gold status and have never been asked to show the ticket.

Is it clear what is meant by ‘GWR ticket’ - I would hope that means a ticket valid for use on a GWR service, but could they mean it must have been issued by GWR?

Yes - I had looked up the Paddington to Reading fare and knew I would be off peak, never occurred to me it would all be bundled into a single journey. Next time I’ll hold back 15 mins or more likely use a separate contactless card for the 2 halves…

I disagree - perfectly possible for the system to consider the options and offer the cheaper fare in each scenario, ie off-peak for a journey as one where the ‘start‘ is off peak, and splitting to offer the cheaper combination where the ‘start’ is peak but a portion is off-peak. I feel...

According to the TFL Single Fare Finder there is only a morning peak for a journey between London City Airport and Paddington. I guess I have to suck it up, but feels like the ‘system’ designed to save me money has doubled my journey cost…

Hi there - I’m hoping you can help me with a fare query, apologies if this is the wrong place. Last week I travelled from London City Airport DLR to Reading NR, leaving London City at 18:44 I used the same contactless card each time, and tapped 6 times. 1 - London City Airport DLR Entry 18:44 2...

Thank you! Agreed, it's a trade off... ;-)

Thank you! So that has helped, I was not aware an sTicket was different from an eTicket, who sells sTickets? I am able to get some cashback from TPE, Trainline and Trip hence was looking at them. Up to now I have been buying Weekly from TPE, but can't buy the 2x Flexi from them as they only...
