You can't make a claim for any journey which does not meet minimum connection times.

We are all capable of doing that. Understanding your own capacity for mistakes will help mitigate against them. "I would never make *that* mistake" is one of the least safe attitudes someone engaged in a safety related activity could have. I drove -almost- into a brand new cycle lane in...

Young people - who make up the vast majority of newer drivers - lose their licence after six points and not twelve. That's in the first two years after passing your practical test.

If it's polite and brief then of course that's fine. The objection is to the length and sarcasm.

Preclearance doesn't drive demand, it just makes arriving in the US easier. People aren't going to schlep all the way to Edinburgh for the privilege of avoiding a queue which in my experience is usually in the region of 30 minutes (and frequently much shorter!) Those passengers leave the UK...

No, they'll charge you to handle your email and the rest of your case, which for the avoidance of doubt is unnecessary and not in your interests to send.

This is really divorced from the reality of how things actually work on the ground. If it was that easy, everyone would be as sarcastic and passive aggressive as the guard in this example. But aside from it not being conducive to a pleasant travelling atmosphere, it's also just unnecessary to...

It depends on the circumstances, which aligns with reality. It isn't an automatic ban. Mostly it's careless driving which attracts 3 to 9 penalty points. I expect this driver will also fall under careless driving too. If a driver is a professional and they face a driver conduct hearing (as...

A guard who walks the train and charges people without the proper ticket does exactly this. There is no need for sarcastic or hyperbolic announcements. Everyone thinks they should get their ticket checked but very few people think they deserve to be speculatively patronised.

You may be thinking of an unpaid fare notice or a penalty fare, neither of which apply here. There is nothing for you to respond to at this stage.

You should wait to be written to. The company will conduct their investigation into the matter first. What is the 21 day policy you refer to?

Someone who is 60 has quite poor night vision compared to a 20 year old, needing three times as much light to see clearly.

I suppose being asked for your ticket is offensive too.

Nothing hostile about that. On the railway that's just a ticket barrier.
