I think that adverts to "book a seat in this service up to 10 minutes before departure" when staff on board already know there's a set change and the entire train will not have reservations may count. These occur fairly frequently. Staff have told me there's nothing they can do about these...

Is that the right link?

I don't think they fund nearly as many as they used to. Ironically, the Halifax one they used to fund would now be far more useful - it used to be a short walk from the bus station to the supermarket, the two ends of the route,, but since the redesign of the bus station it's about 3 times as...

Good to know. I'll rephrase that to "when I tried a while ago I couldn't find any sites that would offer it as an e-ticket" (I was trying to buy a ticket for 2 family members and wanted to just be able to send them the e-ticket. I ended up buying 2 advances for a similar price once I could be...

Duo tickets can't be issued as e-tickets.

The cheapest National Express tickets are like rail Advances - only valid on that service. Other services may have been offered at a higher price. They also sell flexible tickets that can be changed. It's not clear what type of ticket the customer held.

The rules for abandoned journeys now say you must return to your origin to claim.

The E20 is also every 20 minutes.

If operators in the scheme are being paid to carry children for free, are they allowed to charge them?

With the section of TfL that deals with buses being London Bus Services Limited. The control I said they don't have? Councils own 80% of the shares in NCT with Transdev owning the rest. It typically pays a dividend.

Is it an upcoming change? Or should it split and have an X51 or X53 continuing?

What happens if a child hasn't got the email and tries to get a bus home?

In Edinburgh, yes, at the moment. First did have quite a large presence there. In Nottingham, NCT are the largest operator, but many services are run by trentbarton as well as a handful of small operators. I lived there for 4 years before you could get bus passes valid on more than one bus...
