I tried a journey out from Island Gardens to Cutty Sark this afternoon (7th April) using my Oyster Card and was charged £2 for the privilege. I was under the impression that Contactless payments for that trip were refunded within 14 days but Oyster journeys were not charged at all and came up...

Thank you for that link!!! I didn't find that anywhere at all :) Much appreciated

It seems very sneaky that they imply that can buy tickets with your railcard with them in the app but nowhere does it say you are free to use other ticket purchasers and I didn't want to find that if I got the railcard that I got stitched up up and that it was hidden away in the terms and...

So I found out that Monzo as one of their perks offer a digital railcard which is potentially rather useful However, unfortunately it seems that this digital railcard is provided using Trainline! This obviously means that unless I'm buying walk up tickets on the day I wish to travel and use...

For me, I absolutely hate e-tickets because for me they cause me a huge amount of anxiety. I prefer having a nice credit card sized ticket with my journey on it. I have nothing but issues trying to scan those e-tickets at barriers - even being told at Liverpool Street when I had a Hare Fare...

I find that using anything other than a physical ticket causes great anxiety. Last time I had an e-ticket was last year when Greater Anglia did their hare fares promotion and my e-ticket just refused to scan from my phone screen and ended up having to have a rather unwanted conversation with the...

Incredibly, Trainline have gone above and beyond with incorrect information on another advert about Southeastern. I'm intrigued to know where they get their stuff from! I've cut and pasted some of their FAQs https://www.thetrainline.com/train-companies/southeastern After reading this I would...

Morning everyone Whilst browsing a popular social media site an advert showed up for Trainline which stated that all Southeastern stations had barcode readers and it had a picture of a barcode on the advert. https://x.com/blakey115247/status/1805129804045271230 I was at my local...

The fact that they allow any card pick up is a huge plus and would certainly make me use them again!

That's interesting, I wonder where you'd be expected to get the ticket from if I had been travelling from Amersham? To get the 1-6 AAA 7-9 to come up I've always used Amersham to Upminster returning the same day and it shows up.

I wouldn't normally use Uber but they've given me a £5 voucher off train tickets on Uber Travel. Seeing as I'm travelling round London on Saturday and normally use Oyster but with the £5 off it works out cheaper to get a paper one day Travelcard. I've been through the ticket buying process to...

When I've visited Heathrow recently I've used the split at Hatton Cross on the Piccadilly Line which is very handy unless of course you've got lots of cases! There are several buses from Hatton Cross into Heathrow and they are all free of charge because of the free travel zone as is the split...

On the Thameslink trains towards Rainham, First Class is declassified at one end of the train (can't remember which!) but if you sit in there the scrolling message on the display actually says that Standard Class ticket holders can sit there - Although quite why anyone would pay extra for First...

I appreciate that there is a huge range of tickets available for travel across the network but it just always infuriates me that some gate line staff just see the words off peak and refuse perfectly valid tickets because its not 9.30am yet. London Bridge is a prime example of this as it seems...

Hi, a delay repay request was put in to Avanti and I got an email back this morning saying it's been approved. But the web page for the delay repay claims still says it's in progress Is this normally what happens? I kind of expected the web page to have updated at the same time as getting the...
