    Uber ticketing

    Yeah Yep I had the exact same thought to the email, but when it goes into your Uber account, it doesn't go in as credit, it goes in as "voucher" and on the voucher says "valid on Uber Rides and Uber Eats" Ultimately it would appear the Nectar app/Email says "Uber Rides and Uber Eats" and I...

    Uber ticketing

    Be warned, doing this is not valid on Train tickets. It's only valid on taxis and food. Saw the email and thought it would be worth doing since I had some nectar points... And it doesn't show up when buying tickets

    Returning from an intermediate station on Night Riviera

    Thanks for the tip, phoned up Telesales who were very helpful and happily issued the Super off peak return, with cabin supplements for London->Penzance and Truro->London, looking forward to my trip now!

    Returning from an intermediate station on Night Riviera

    I'm looking at heading to/from Cornwall on the Night Riviera, arriving into Penzance on a Saturday morning, but returning from Truro on the Sunday. I can see that a regular Super Off-Peak return to Penzance is £99 with a railcard, but a single to Penzance and a single from Truro is £57 each...

    TPE ticket acceptance passengers chucked out of Avanti first

    I believe it was the train manager (it was whoever was checking tickets). I did consider saying something because even as an Avanti passenger I was appalled at the rudeness, but I was a bit weary of starting any battles at the beginning of a 4hr30 journey...

    TPE ticket acceptance passengers chucked out of Avanti first

    FWIW there were plenty of seats (off the top of my head there were 3 Avanti passengers, 5 TPE passengers) But I do I agree Avanti needs to prioritise their own passengers. On the point of food availability, surely Avanti must keep a decent stock, as you never know if 20 people all with Anytime...

    TPE ticket acceptance passengers chucked out of Avanti first

    I think some passengers did this, they were sold a "upgrade to Avanti first" I didn't quite catch how much it was, but it sounded like it was in the region of £20 1752509087 The food service was very quick, kudos to the host, but it did mean that everyone was indeed in the middle of their food...

    TPE ticket acceptance passengers chucked out of Avanti first

    Interesting experience on an Avanti train in Edinburgh yesterday, I wasn't actually affected as I was due to be on Avanti anyway, but it was quite disappointing to watch. The previous TPE train had been cancelled with all passengers directed by station boards to get the Avanti service and...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    TM on my train said 1S25 was struggling, and 1S26 failed completely, so the whole Lowlander was sent to Edinburgh. Sounds like a bit of a chaotic evening for CS!

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Had a text message confirming a locomotive issue caused the delay, I'm currently on the Fort William service which is 35 minutes behind, but depending how the passing places line up that might increase or decrease

    Scotrail HST First Class Unavailable

    I'm looking to try out a Scotrail HST before they go on my next trip to Scotland. I'll travelling from Inverness to Aberdeen and from what I can see on the Scotrail website, the 12:39 is scheduled to be a HST, which RTT over the last few weeks seems to agree with. But no ticket engine will sell...

    Santander free 4 year railcard if you are 20-25

    Got my code from Santander today and redeemed it, I've now been issued a Railcard valid until 2029 (when I'll be 28) which I'm quite pleased about!

    Filming at Moorgate Station (03/05/25)

    I was doing the "Moorgate Metropolitan Maze" Hidden London tour today (very good and would recommend by the way!) and whilst walking to the disused tracks we had to share the platform with a film crew. They were filming something on an S-Stock train and, according to the tour guides, had been...

    First Class Declassified en route

    I was travelling with Crosscountry from Manchester->Leamington Spa on a SF upgrade to 1st (which I've since found out was a complete waste of money and I should have just paid the £12.50 weekend first upgrade instead of £15 but I digress...), there had been several announcements that the 8 car...
