That is a high risk itinerary. I would strongly recommend catching an earlier train from Upminster. Only needs the slightest glitch on Jubilee or Elizabeth lines to miss your GWR and such glitch would not hold any water for catching a later train to Cardiff.

That looks like the right place to submit the claim. As I said before, the normal DR process is to submit your intended itinerary, your ticket, and your actual delay, in your case 90 minutes. The system then calculates what DR is due. When you do this, at which point in the process do you get an...

@MikeWh is not just a Senior Fares Adviser. He is the fount of all knowledge about travel with oyster. He is the owner and author https://oysterfares.com/ I am flattered that he seconded my proposal, and would exhort the OP to take that advice!

For pootling around London you could consider an Oyster Card. You can apply your National Railcard to an Oyster Card and you will get discounted fares. There is an up front cost, and the application of the RailCard to the Oyster Card has to be done by a TfL person at an underground station...

The usual process with DR is to submit to the TOC which caused the delay, so you are right to submit to LNR. LNR and WMT are the same people, so a submission to WMT might work as well I have looked at RTT for your trains and it looks as though you reached Rugby at about 1515. There were...

Today (19 September) I turned up at St. Michael's station on Merseyside at about 13.55 to travel to Birkdale (on the return half of an off-peak day return Birkdale to Halewood). The departure display in the ticket hall showed the next train as the 14:02 to Ormskirk. When I reached the platform...

Avanti's computer might decide that you caught the 1254 which arrived at Euston at 1528, which represents a 47 minute delay against your planned itinerary. Even so that would be correct for delay repay purposes as you arrived at 1514.

I have one issued a long time ago. Not quite sure when, but it is in a wallet containing a Network Card with expiry date 26 JLY 96 and a One Day Travelcard dated 22 JLY 96. I think I got the photocard to go with a weekly season ticket.

Slightly off topic, but my main gripe on connection times is the MCT between Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western which means that a connection achievable by a normal able-bodied person from an arrival at the former to a departure at the latter, e.g. arrive WGW (from Southport) at 12.03...

This incident is still not a "Major Disruption" on the Northern web site. You can find it in "Other Updates" in the "Good Service" section after scrolling past eight routes which probably do have a good service!

It seems that as a side effect of this incident both Bescar Lane and New Lane AHBC crossings were, and probably still are, closed to road traffic. Barriers down. A couple of years ago two other user worked crossings along the line, Crabtree and Shaw's, were closed for vehicle traffic to...

A few notes from a thread I posted in 2019 regarding the Bett's Lane crossing which is the next UWC crossing from this incident:- There are public crossings nearby at New Lane (AHBC) at 28m 70ch, Martins Lane (UWG/MWL-X) at 29m 70ch and Boundary Farm (footpath at 30m 02ch) crossings. Martin's...

I see what National Rail are saying. Normally one train every 2 hours each way on Sundays. On Northern Rail's website this incident is not listed either as Major Disruption or a Minor Disruption. A points failure between Morecambe and Lancaster is a Major Disruption. I have a live departure...

It seems that the OP has a habitual round trip journey for which he travels into London from Farnborough by train, and returns to a nearby town by coach. He therefore wanted the most cost effective way of achieving the rail part of this, and his searches found the "reverse direction" return...

I think this is the relevant single ticket £16.65 Anytime Day Single Farnborough Stns to Zone U1 with 16-25 Railcard
