Do the DfT have to approve each route Northern want to run a PF scheme on individually? I’m staggered the Penistone line’s been approved...

If anyone could find out which power cars worked 1N85 1308 KGX-YRK today I’d be grateful. Thanks in advance! Edit: VTEC’s twitter team gave me them - 43313 and 43272.

Whenever I’ve been on the sleeper then you don’t need to print out or show your reservations to anyone, just get on the seated coach and the guard comes along and checks your tickets just after leaving Euston (Highland) or before departure (Lowland). That’s if I’ve understood your question...

You can collect the tickets from the station you didn’t choose as you say. However if you choose e.g. Huddersfield to collect a Shepley - Huddersfield ticket, and you get to Shepley and it turns out you can’t collect your tickets because the machine at Shepley is out of order (as Northerns new...

I don't have a lot of experience but it's entirely possible they'd just tell you not to worry about it if you try and get one, when I went up to Fort William in the seated coach then lots of people got on who didn't have reservations and the guard didn't care in the slightest, it was just like...

It's section 23 but yeah it does say you're only allowed 3 items.

It’s fairly common to see Northern guards not come out the cab to sell/check tickets, maybe their machine is broken or the train is very busy etc, or they just can’t be bothered. It’s an inconvenience if there’s a queue to buy a ticket when you get off but at the end of the day it’s up to them...

Not certain it’ll be the same but last Saturday for the same engineering works it was 1V44/1S51 and 1V58/1E73

What was said on Twitter... showing that the twitter team haven’t bothered to read the relevant section of the NRCoT either. They work on a computer, it’d have taken them 2 minutes o_O

With all due respect I disagree with you here. The wording isn’t sloppy at all. Its explicit that Rangers, i.e. area based tickets valid for a day, are permissible to split with and have the train not stop at the boundary station. That’s not sloppiness, that’s an alteration to the terms that’s...

The confusion might be arising because the NRCoT are fairly new. In the old NRCoC, clause 19(c) covered this: if the train didn’t stop then one of the tickets had to be either a season ticket or a rover valid for 7 days or more. I’ve attached a screenshot from the forum’s ticketing guide...

Has anyone got any more info on this? Most likely only 1V44/1S51 and 1V58/1E73 HSTs tomorrow?

Thanks for the clarification guys, I just took his word for it because I assumed he knew what he was doing... :p

It was from a very thick book he had, I didn’t see the front cover. But it definitely said rovers and rangers can be issued up to 3 days in advance. He spent about 15 minutes finding the right page, if I’m being honest I didn’t want to bother waiting if he wasn’t going to sell it me anyway but I...

In the manual issued to staff it says 3 days in advance. One ticket office clerk showed it me when I was trying to get hold of one back in August. However this is not consistent across all ticket offices. A clerk at Barnsley was willing to sell one 7 days in advance, and I ended up getting mine...
