    No First Class refund on GWR?

    This is what you need to do. GWR customer service. You are claiming for the difference in fare between standard and first because the train that you traveled on did not convey the advertised first class accommodation so you have to travel in standard.

    Wrong Ticket Sold on board Greater Anglia train?

    If it was not possible to purchase the ticket before boarding the train then I would inform customer relations if you feel inclined. I say that because it sounds like a refund was issued at the ticket office when changing trains and the correct fare charged. That said, a delay was encountered...

    Would Delay Relay cover the overall journey if PlusBus was added?

    You have answered your own question. Plus bus is an add on The other examples are where something else is included in a through fare on the one ticket. Next time you get a rail ticket with plus bus you will see the price printed on your rail ticket is without the plus bus add on.

    Would Delay Relay cover the overall journey if PlusBus was added?

    Delay repay does not include the cost of plus bus. It is only the combination of rail tickets used.

    If they play these games I'll escalate and send to Ombudsman if needed.

    TIR - failure to provide alternative format

    It is extremely concerning that a member of staff has taken issue with a braille sticker being on a disabled person's railcard, given this will have been applied by the disabled person's rail card office. Additionally they attempted to remove such a sticker. LNER definitely needs to be made...

    Formby has a ticket machine. I do not know if you can collect tickets from it. The one at Bache allows collection of tickets.

    Does Northern Use Dynamic Pricing for Advances?

    I fell for this with Northern by booking an advanced ticket a couple of months in advance. Even on the day of travel the price had gone right down so I am never booking too far ahead with them again.
