I have done gone to France for the weekend using Interrail tickets, it was the 2023 Rugby World Cup so travel was a little pricey otherwise! Funny how this works when France is not usually greatly accommodating for Interrail travellers. In this experience the Eurostar was delayed going into...

Just saw this on the Veterans Railcard FAQS... So after a bit of digging the answer is a resounding no if you are already in the forces. If a serving merchant mariner has seen duty then they could still get one while still employed as a merchant mariner (the Royal Fleet Auxiliary would be a...

Personally if it says that "you must be a veteran" and then defines a "veteran" as having "served for at least one day or more in His Majesty’s UK Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve)" as a general statement on the website then I would imagine someone in active service has a good case for applying...

From the website... The wording of what defines a veteran does not seem to rule out serving personnel, it just says you have had to have served at least a day. So what the railway are defining as a veteran might differ to being a veteran in the traditional sense. I do know of people serving...

This. A veteran would have their MOD90 cut at the corners. But there is nothing to say that a MOD90 must be visibly defaced, whether a MOD90 is defaced is not something that is checked upon application.

So TfW did eventually get back to me after I picked up the tickets a day said that they both did require production of a valid Veterans Railcard. So they told me to post them back to them and rebook separately. They have raised an official complaint on my partner's behalf. Perhaps she will get...

Thanks for the responses. I am contacting TfW now to try and resolve this. As stated it is not the best to have to board a train having to check with a guard each time (and whether the IoM Steam Packet company check railcards, I don't know), as there is a chance someone could say no! So rather...

They emailed my partner with this reply: I collected the tickets today to be sure, and they all said Veterans Railcard on it, as I thought might happen. So not sure at all where TfW got that from!

Thank you. I have tried ringing them up and they are going to look into it today and call back, but as it stood they could only see one Veterans railcard applied. There would be no other way for me to see how it applied without picking up the ticket, but the price paid of £166 for both would...

My partner and I booked two Economy return tickets from Zone B (any station in Cumbria) to Douglas, using the Sailrail deal and taking the ferry from Heysham. The fares for this are normally £115 for an Economy return from Zone B. She booked the tickets on the Transport for Wales site, and put...

Sorted! I needed to log onto the Veterans Railcard website as opposed to the general Railcard website...guess I won't be getting that ticket partly refunded after all then. Thanks for the link, that prompted me in the right direction :D!

Same email address, I have email confirmation of purchase. I'm not sure if I should be paying a £10 fee because my railcard was 'lost' due to my account being deleted for reasons I cannot be held accountable, and it is potentially a breach of consumer law.

I attempted to transfer my Veterans railcard to another phone, a temporary measure as my main phone is being repaired, and tried to login into my Railcard account to retrieve a download code for my spare phone. I attempted to login to my account,no password seemed to work and when I tried to...

I hope split ticketing doesn't go anywhere for this reason, simplification is only going to mean one thing!

Indeed. Or as it happens, when their evidence puts me under the threshold :lol: ! 1719938980 EDIT: Got the delay claim approved, so a cool €12 compensation. Thanks for the advice!
