    Fined by GWR at Paddington, not sure if its worth appealing

    They can't even spell "reference" correctly - the letter has "refernce" !

    GTR FRAUD INVESTIGATION - Suspected Evasion

    GTR are of course just plain lying when they say "You are required to respond to this letter", but given what you've told us, that doesn't change the advice.

    General Query - Cumbria Travel Pass

    I see the map on railrover.org does indeed exclude the places you mention, but for me the actual T&Cs don't make it at all clear... On https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/tickets/cumbria-travel-pass it says Which for me would include the places you mention, since they are in Cumbria! I would...

    Freedom Pass Inspection Curiosity Question

    Plain-clothes inspectors have been a thing for a while now :) Here's a poster from 1993, for example: https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/posters/item/1994-1162 And a buses one from 1985: https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/posters/item/1987-40-1

    Trivia: Simple journeys in London where the maximum journey time is too short? (and thus leads to an incomplete journey)

    I did, and I also read the one where you replied "they don't" to the question "does anyone know the answer to this? ‍

    Trivia: Simple journeys in London where the maximum journey time is too short? (and thus leads to an incomplete journey)

    Anyone in a position to definitively know would probably also be bound by a social media policy to not reveal any non-public information. The TfL website does not categorically state the answer; I don't believe any FoI request has touched on it. Depending on what was being asserted, it may...

    Not via London anomaly?

    The text suggests that it's intended for journeys with one 'end' in South London between Clapham and Selhurst (although they've forgotten about Norbury), but what's actually been encoded says "passes through" any of those stations. Silly error on the part of the fare setter, I'd say. I don't...

    Not via London anomaly?

    see the link that Adam posted https://enrgbrowser.com/easements/701577/2026-05-26 - specifically "then the journey can be considered valid, ignoring location-based restrictions from the fare's route code"

    Staff being difficult over attempts to break journey

    SailRail tickets massively undercut 'normal' tickets. For example, Brighton to Belfast via Cairnryan is £63.00, valid at any time...
