    Clapham Junction to Littlehampton and Bognor Regis this Sunday 16 August

    If you simply buy a ticket from Worcester Park to Bognor, it is valid via Littlehampton. Just try inputting it into a journey planner, and it comes up as valid.

    Cross country fraud department contacted me

    It would very much depend on the actual journeys and the times of those journeys. The 26-30 Railcard has a minimum fare in peak hours; the Network Railcard does not allow travel before 10am on a weekday, and after that a £13 minimum fare applies.

    Wrong railcard used for months

    Assuming your journey was at 8am on a weekday, then I don't believe that your 16-25 Railcard would have given you any discount on your ticket due to the £12 minimum fare applying before 10am. You are meant to know the conditions applicable to your Railcard. So to the railway, claiming that you...

    I was caught in Central London while using my friend's photocard

    There is no such thing in the UK as a police character certificate.

    Chichester/Barnham to West Hampstead

    I have noticed that the Off Peak Return from Barnham to West Hampstead (any permitted) let's me bring up an itinerary of Barnham - Victoria - Euston - Willesden Junction - West Hampstead. But if I start my journey from Chichester, and ask for the same itinerary, journey planners say the routing...

    The cheapest flexible ticket Meadowhall to Gatwick

    The OP's group is 2 adults and 2 children with F&F Railcard, so using Contactless isn't the best solution. On the LNER website, the cost for the group is £24.95 to London Thameslink. Using the forum's site, the total price is £25.80. This is because the LNER site sells one child ticket for...

    Dubious TrainPal adverts

    To be fair to Trainpal, I bought my Senior Railcard with a big discount applied, and had it fulfilled as a Railcard Redeem Voucher, which is stored in the app. Then on the first occasion I wanted to use the Railcard, I just had to activate it, in the app, with no need to purchase a ticket from them.

    Delay repay on both legs

    We don't know the timings but there have been instances where a passenger has claimed for a 2 hour delay, only for them to told that their delay was only 1 hour 59 mins, thereby reducing the compensation by 50%. A claim for a 2 hour delay, does not guarantee 100% compensation.

    Heathrow to Gatwick using Oyster/Contactless

    Possibly a one day Travelcard from Gatwick? The Thameslink version is £13.70 with a Railcard. You are simply throwing away the outbound journey from Gatwick.

    Cancellation Shenanigans and Super Off-Peak (SWR) Validilty

    Ticket machine not working

    The last time I collected a ticket at Amberley I had exactly the same problem. Fortunately with persistence I did manage to get the ticket to print. I emailed customer services reporting the problem with the screen and asking what I should do the next time. They said to speak to the onboard...

    Super off peak return (London Bridge)

    I think you can buy a Havant to London Bridge via Three Bridges Super Off Peak Day Return for the same price.
