You said Network Rail had sent a letter. I'm confused as to why they would send you a letter or what it has to do with them? Can you pls clarify.

Hi I want a single from Chertsey to Covent Garden tomorrow afternoon, travelling at 3pm. I have looked on National Rail Enquiries and for just 80p odd more than buying a Chertsey to Waterloo I can buy a ticket apparently including travelling on LU. That is cheaper than 1 NR journey to...

So is this kind of behaviour against any byelaws?

Yes, people have moved from the Anytime to the Advance ticket within first class - around 0.6m - plus you have some people actually trading up from Standard class tickets - around 300k. At least that's my reading of the piece.

at the real risk of getting my head chewed off I think the banks all sold off their controlling stakes in the ROSCOS and not sure that it's Network Rail who say whether a train can run on our network - is that not down to the regulator?

Thanks. I will book what I hope is a simple Anytime return and specify on HS1 with PRIV so that should see me through. ps. I didn't mean the fares were all complex but I knew certain things were different for the HS1 like not being able to use PRIV on peaks and that you had to ask for the...

Cheers. It was that PRIV not on peaks I now remember hearing about - as you say, not a problem on a Sunday. Yes, I will leave her in the retail village/hades and head off for the day. That linkline sounds like it could be fun and she probbably won't even notice I'm misisng.

Hi I'm planning on taking my other half on a return trip from St Pancras to Ashford International this Sunday under the auspices of shopping but I really wanted to try out the HS1 line! Win win. However, I've heard it's easy to fall foul of getting on the wrong train with an incorrect...

Funny. This reminds me of when I went to see a comedy show being recorded at the BBC a few years back. Tickets are always over-allocated in case of no shows and to ensure a full house. It was my birthday and was really looking forward to seeing the show but despite leaving 2 hours to get to TV...

Thanks. I can get that page up on my Blackberry so good to know where it is! I never expect to be treated any differntly from non-staff so wouldn't expect any special treatment. I have been at the sharp end of some very good staff (FCC driver stopping to help a family member who fell on a...

How useful to know - I never knew that. Is this written on their website anywhere or in any leaflet that I can take with me? Why do I get that feeling that I will need to 'prove' my eligibility to travel in first with a standard Anytime ticket?

Thanks all. In almost every other scenario I have come acros, it has always been a bit cheaper to get a BZ4 as effectivley I'm paying for some of the journey twice, albeit a small part in this case. Pretty sure when I purchased a BZ4 to Elstree & Borehamwood (the next stop up the line) it was...

Hi Because I can't check on online journey planners, can anyone check to see if there is any saving to be had by getting a standard Anytime BZ4 to Luton Airport rather a Mill Hill Broadway to Luton Airport? Thanks

Has this been confirmed yet? Nothing has appeared on any of the rail news websites (as far as I can see).
