Thanks everyone, that makes sense. In the case, it's awful wording from Virgin on two counts: 1. by directly contrasting the 0930 peak restriction in the first sentence with 'during July and August ... restriction free' in the second sentence, they give the impression that all the restrictions...

I've had a browse of the forum and can find lots of questions and answers about the 10:00 restriction easement in July and August for railcard holders. Looking on Virgin West Coast's site, I see this: However, searching for an off-peak return ticket from Euston to Liverpool in July only shows...

Thanks all for your detailed responses. Yes I have a reservation only for the WEL - STP leg. I assume the tickets will say something along the lines of "EMT & CONNECTIONS" under permitted routeing, so in that case I'll take the suggestion of asking to board at St Pancras in the first instance.

Ladies/Gents I have just booked a weekday advance from Wellingborough (WEL) to Dover Priory (DVP). The train leaves WEL in the early morning and the itinerary that the ATOS booking website gave is as follows: - 0523 WEL to St Pancras, arrive 0616 - Transfer St Pancras to Liverpool Street via...

As recently as last year I was denied boarding a VT service from EUS because I didn't have a seat reservation with my SVR. This was during the bout of heavy snow which led to many cancellations on the line. I believe they had a quota in place for passengers without a seat reservation as every...

I play on trying this tomorrow. However, the local station here is a "provincial" Merseyrail station where it takes 45 minutes to issue an advance ticket with a bicycle reservation, so I wonder if they will be able to handle a zero-fare over-distance excess. Otherwise I'll have to make the...

Wish I'd known this one before! It's the same price too! Thanks Thanks. I think I'll go for one of these, and either try and zero excess the SVR to MAN, or procure a new set of advance fare tickets to LTN. Having said that, not all services to MAN travel via LPY. Services also go east via...

Excellent. It's fantastic to see a company operating responsibly, transparently and generously on railway fares.

I travelled to Liverpool from London three days ago on an SVR outbound and I intend to travel the return via Luton Airport Parkway, go away for a twenty day holiday then complete the journey LTN > St Pancras on the final day of the SVR's validity. I understand that BOJ is permitted on said...

I am also interested in whether this is realistically enforced, for example stopping/starting short on connections to/from reserved mainline services -- for example Merseyrail or the St Ives Branch.

Evening all, I was recently granted a Rail Travel Voucher for £24 in compensation as a result of a delay. I am aware that it is possible to credit an Oyster card with such voucher, as I have done so before at the FCC ticket office at St Pancras. However, on this occasion I would like to...

Given that it's a return, it would be £5.30 worth of food and seat leg-room etc. per each leg of the journey (twenty minutes each).

Is it possible to get delay compensation from Virgin Trains when travelling on a megabus ticket? The terms on the megabus website appear to say no, but the Virgin Passengers' Charter reads otherwise. I was delayed by over three hours a couple of nights ago, arriving at 0230. It seems unfair...

Or quite possible a trolley or trolleybus service, as this is a word the same in many languages. I think the TOC abbreviation is acceptable; SE is a abbreviation for South-East anyhow and the translation of SE is keyed at the bottom of the same page. However, I would think there would be more...

You would consider losing a ticket or missing train for which you had an advanced ticket, just to generate revenue for the TOC?! :D
