    Forthcoming changes to National Rail Conditions of Travel

    I have to say this is a real problem for me for members of my family and the new refund terms since 1st April have been a significant retrograde step when planning trips now. Genuinely I actually travel less now because of this (I mean it affects travelling companions and planning for them...

    Trainline to be investigated for not including fees in prices

    Oh come on, that was over 15 years ago. It's now 4.5% for third party retailers. The real question is not whether the 4.5% that's given to third party retailers is right or wrong.

    Avanti Website and Email showing different times

    Liverpool to Manchester off peak policy

    Assuming that it's a Manchester Stations to Liverpool Lime Street Off-Peak Day Return, for Northern only, then it's valid on any train after 09:30. Unfortumately https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/tickets/off-peak does not appear to be written by someone who has a good understanding of how...
