But the units are just left in the sidings at Norwich after 19:00 - they aren't required until about 05:45 the next day.

Just buy the ticket from the self service machine (if there is one?) I wouldn't exactly imagine it's difficult. Whatever the destination prints on the ticket normally, just type into the machine. That BRFares website shows quite a few "MRAIL" areas/zones, so I'd type MRAIL into the machine...

If the ticket is discounted for being a wheelchair user, she is not entitlted to a seat and must remain in the wheelchair. If the ticket is full fare - she can get assistance on/off and sit anywhere.

That card will mean absolutely nothing in the UK. Make a (free) seat reservation at least the day before - if possible. Otherwise, if you don't have an obvious disability, it is unlikely that anyone will give their seat up for you sadly. Nobody is specifically entitled to a priority seat on a...

You can get it slightly cheaper by going via Derby, with a time penalty. Sheffield - Derby CDR is £11.30 Derby - Prestatyn CDR is £26.70 Total £38.00.

Apparently East Midlands Trains are sticking with orange tickets. I was speaking to a Senior Conductor lately who told me they even have a specific manager for the replacement ticket system, strangely based at Norwich...

There will be a £10 admin fee applied to any part-refund, so no. You did agree to the purchase, so you have no recourse.

Worksop to Plymouth has two routes: NOT VIA LONDON +ANY PERMITTED If you buy the +ANY PERMITTED ticket you can go via London (or on XC) in both directions. If you buy the NOT VIA LONDON ticket, you will need a change of route excess for the outward portion.

Surely a Penalty Fare is still a valid fare for a journey, just a higher priced one? If a court can order a defendant to pay compensation for an Anytime fare, (when at the time an Off Peak ticket would have sufficed), I see no reason why a Penalty Fare is not the fare lawfully due if the...

Didn't look too hard then. ATW isn't listed in the participating operators: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr93c0eaeb9d4653b48ac9b0307154fb.aspx

6 Stagecoach Group and EMT directors met with Greater Anglia management on Thursday.

My railway contact advises Stagecoach Group may back in with Abellio.

I have had to give my details for quite a few 7 day season tickets. They scan the photocard barcode and my details appear. I sometimes get given a receipt with my name, house number and postcode on it to check.

Are you saying the booking office staff took your details or that one of the barrier/revenue staff did? Both do have the powers to report you for the criminal offence of travelling without a valid ticket, so doesn't really make much difference BUT - Booking office staff normally need to take...

You're joking, right?! Sending them a SAR to get your interview notes will put a big red flag above your head. You just need to accept the decision and move on. Nobody has grounds for a re-interview / reassessment - regardless of the circumstances. Their decision has been made, and jobs...
