    RIP old National Rail app

    I've been able to restore the ad-free version without any problems. Sorry to see the old app go though.

    Hull to halifax service to be split at leeds

    I thought the original point of turning back at Halifax was that there wasn't room to terminate another train in Leeds. Is this cost cutting masquerading as improvement?

    Woodlesford to Stockport, Sat 20/06/2026

    Looking at the dates in the links 2022-01 2022-10 probably indicates, unintentionally, which is the most up to date.

    Woodlesford to Stockport, Sat 20/06/2026

    I think the information about Cross Country is to make it clear that journeys via Moorthorpe aren't allowed. Similarly, I don't imagine it'd be strictly valid on the 'Yorkshire Flyer', but as it's Northern you might get away with it. (I'd be reluctant to test it though.) Here's a link to the...

    Would a South Pennines Day Ranger priced at £31.20 (or less with a railcard discount) cover the journey you wish to make with plenty of flexibility too?

    That's the mistake I made. You have to put the code in at the final payment stage, not into the 'Promotions' field. It's a bit counterintuitive I think.

    Penalty fare for daughter using complimentary delay repay ticket

    This happened to me. I was awarded eight and they were all in my name although I had claimed for two passengers. I dropped a message to customer services and they obligingly issued four replacement ones in the other person's name, on evidence that four in my name had been cut up. In future I'd...

    If that's aimed at my question, it's an incredible extrapolation of a very straightforward and innocent question!

    Are these Northern tickets available for travel any day or just match days? It isn't very clear but I'd be surprised if the system could be set up determine the difference!

    The terms and conditions of the family ticket are a bit vague. I wonder if it would be valid for just two adults with no children. (The West Yorkshire Family DaySaver explicitly states that is can be used by two adults alone which clears up any potential confusion.) UPDATE: Have tried to book...

    Train tickets sold as scratchcard or stamp it yourself or use when you wish formats.

    If you feel comfortable about using your mobile phone to buy tickets, Bus and Train DaySaver tickets can be bought on the MCard Mobile app. (I appreciate that not everyone wants to do that, of course!)

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    My final update on this. Following my letter, I got an email within 10 days apologising for the inconvenience caused by the rejection of my initial delay repay claim. It has now been approved with a generous number of complimentary Northern return tickets as compensation.
