    Greater Anglia Prosecution - seeking advice

    I appreciate it’s a wild accusation. But things just don’t add up at all. One final observation, is Metrocentre a Northern managed station? Unless they have a different type of TVM there. The font/boldness of the typeface on the tickets doesn’t match a ticket that I had printed from a northern...

    Greater Anglia Prosecution - seeking advice

    Is this a legit ticket? As mentioned by @Fawkes Cat the fare doesn’t exist at the time it was issued. I’ve also noticed that it has an A next to the date on the bottom of that ticket. I am under the impression that the A only appears when it’s printed in advance of the date of travel. This...

    Delay Repay with SeatFrog: TPE Denying Compensation

    I’ve had delay repay on Seatfrog upgrades with TPE a few times now so that’s obviously been declined in error. Hopefully they will correct that for you. But as stated, you are eligible for delay repay on them.

    Urgent advice for appealing a fine for ₤1800

    Please stop worrying about prosecution. You will not be prosecuted as others have said they are OUT OF TIME. I think by panicking and being anxious with all these you’re going to make the situation worse than it is. The guru’s in this forum are really good at assisting in these matters and...

    Appeal - Didn't realise I had to print a ticket

    You were / still maybe eligible for a refund of the original ticket. Go to your bookings and request a refund. See if that works.

    Mishandled Penalty Fare

    If the penalty fare is successfully appealed. Would the outstanding fare still be owed as they still weren’t able to show a valid ticket on demand?

    Why does the Weybridge - Waterloo service have to wait at Virginia Water?

    Maybe wrong on this but also wasn’t part of the reason for the dwell time is from when the Hounslow loop used to have rounders all day? This then created an even 15 minute gap around the loop.

    LNER's new 'simplified' ticket structure: no return fares!

    It’s awful. Although you can get a super off peak singles if you purchased the ticket to/from Finsbury Park.

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    Are they ripping up the DCO agreement and will they have to negotiate again to bring it in?

    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    There wouldn’t be enough trainers or resources to take that on. The bigger picture is you’re removing several driver and guards for several days who don’t wholly work in the suburban network either.

    Possible to excess Super Off-Peak Return to Off-Peak Return in advance?

    Yeah as said before the date needed to be changed to a day in the past and then the excess done on the system. If you pop to Nuneaton ticket office before you travel they should be able to excess it for you. If that’s closed / not possible you can talk to the Senior Conductor onboard who will...

    The Great GWR Sale Con.

    I believe it’s because the GWR site doesn’t support split ticketing / splitsave? So it’s selling you the £98 advance single ticket as the cheapest ticket available. Other websites including scotrail offer split ticketing in their results so will show you a split ticket which one of them is in...

    Penalty fare for 2 railcards when I only selected 1

    XC don’t operate a penalty fare scheme afaik? So this PFN has definitely been issued incorrectly as you’ve used XC to travel to your destination.
