Worth noting that not all TOC's lifted restrictions.

FGW are still only booking until the 8th December...

Should be more dates released at some point next week.

uksweet - you need to remember that a ticket clerk CANNOT tell you to get on a train with an invalid ticket - it isn't their place - as has been mentioned already - ask the guard. It is not helping anyone with the attitude you currently have - as nobody will really be inclined to help you.

Up to one month, but with no break of continuity.

Wokingham has payphones, also has help points on platforms, one right next to the door which was allegedly slammed in her face. (should still be there - although has been a while since I've used Wokingham station) Wokingham isn't an isolated place - it has a taxi rank, and a pub next to it...

Sorry to reply late to this. FGW can't impose further restrictions however they can ask TOC's to add conditions to it or the DfT if need be. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Lead operator means the operator who sets the prices for the flow in question, and (usually) who gets...
