I had an automated message yesterday to say my delay claim had been accepted. It looks like someone from the back office had gone back into their system on 9th October and put in what it displays as a 'corrected claim'. The details were exactly the same as the those I'd put in for my original...

Thanks for your help. Just wanted to check I hadn't got it all wrong. I will keep at it until I get my money!

Yes, although described as "legs" they were definitely two distinct journeys. One way from work (Marsh Barton) to the beach to meet family (Dawlish) and the other was from the beach to home (Totnes). There was a number of hours interval between these two journeys. Whatever GWR try and claim...

I put in a delay repay claim with GWR for a journey on August 25th. It has been rejected by their automatic system each time I've appealed it, even on the last round where you are able to put in text to explain. Now after another long wait it's been rejected through the manual process you get...

Thanks both for your help. Yorkie, I've messaged you the details of the ticket. I was a bit shocked on the ticket clerk's knowledge to be honest. It was at a fairly big mainline station too.

Thanks for your help Yorkie. The guy at the ticket office at the station had even less knowledge of how the restriction worked than the guard. He suggested that even if I boarded a train at B with an A - C off peak day return that left A after the restriction time and then called at B I couldn't...

I've just been charged an excess for doing this by the guard. Although I do this a couple of times a week and have never encountered problems with guards, barier staff or the revenue protection people that get on the train occasionally. Do the answers in the post still apply (restriction code...

Yes, the Devon Evening Ranger was amazing value when used to travel right across Devon especially. I'd always wondered whether it was to compete with Stagecoach's evening bus ticket (I think it's called Nite River - £3 for up to 5 people across Devon and into some of Somerset and Cornwall). In...

Recently when I was checking the price for the Ride Cornwall ticket (unlimited trains and buses in Cornwall and out of Plymouth for the day) on brfares.com I noticed that there was a Ride Devon ticket listed - although with no price. This year they seemed to get rid of the Devon Evening Ranger...

Thank you. That's very helpful.

Thank you very much ForTheLoveOf. So just to be clear - are you saying that if the restriction is worded in this way I could get on a train at station B so long as it called at station B after the restriction time X? In other words the time applies to the time you start your journey regardless...

If I buy a ticket (in this case an off peak day return), with no restriction code banning break of journey then from previous posts and the National Rail website it seems I am able to start my journey short. My journey is B - C and back each day. Although an A - C ticket costs more than a B -C...
