    Delay repay - Train didn't get to my destination but got almost there

    Thanks. I put in a claim saying I was 30+ minutes late. The time I cycled past was approximately 35 minutes late. Fairest I could do. Thanks for all replies.

    Delay repay - Train didn't get to my destination but got almost there

    Yes, I was on that train, and they offered the connection as you say, for people wanting to get to Foregate Street. They did say you might not make the connection especially if travelling with luggage (but in reality I probably would have, despite being only 5 minutes), in which case get a later...

    Delay repay - Train didn't get to my destination but got almost there

    I had my bike with me. It meant I had a further mile or so to get home. By chance, my route home took me right past Foregate Street station.

    Delay repay - Train didn't get to my destination but got almost there

    I got a train last night from London Paddington, intending to get off at Worcester Foregate Street. It arrived into Worcester Shrub Hill approximately 25 minutes late and terminated there. It was cancelled between Shrub Hill and Foregate Street. How much delay repay do I get? Would it be...

    Euston to Welling with a bike

    I will be in London on Saturday 22nd and using Contactless (Zone 4 cap). I have my bicycle with me. To get from Euston to Welling, which might be the best way? 1. From Euston, I cycle to Charing Cross (takes 10 minutes), then get the train to Welling (trains seem hourly only, this would have...

    Contactless cap, Zone 4 to Zone 4, via Zone 6

    Thanks, that's what I guessed might be the case.

    Contactless cap, Zone 4 to Zone 4, via Zone 6

    I want to travel from Euston to Welling, then Woolwich Arsenal, then end up in Paddington. Welling and Woolwich are in Zone 4. I want to get the direct train from Welling to Woolwich, without breaking my journey. It starts and ends in Zone 4, but travels into Zones 5 and 6 on its route. If I...

    Marylebone to Hastings - with a bike on the Underground.

    Thanks. I missed that! Clockwise or anticlockwise, from Cannon Street?

    Marylebone to Hastings - with a bike on the Underground.

    I'm arriving into London at Marylebone station. I have my bike with me. My destination is Hastings. My return ticket includes transfer by London Underground. With my bike, I think the obvious thing to do is get the Underground from Edgware Road to Victoria and then a train from Victoria to...

    Merseyrail Daysaver vs Saveaway (+ early morning validity)

    I'm in Merseyside for two days. I can't decide whether to get a Saveaway or a Daysaver ticket. Are the main differences betwwen the two the fact that the Saveaway can be used additionaly on the ferry, buses and the railway line to St Helens (and also is slightly more expensive)? Also, both...

    Worcester to Highbridge via Bath

    I'll be buying the off-peak Return at £49.30 from Worcester Foregate Street to Highbridge & Burnham, departing Monday, returning Friday. I would like to visit Bath Spa for an hour or two on (preferably) the outward journey. If I put "via Bath Spa", no valid ticket is available as of course it...

I allow 90 minutes from my arrival into Paddington until my departure from Victoria, planning to walk (or...

    A query about an advance purchase ticket, combined with a Saveaway ticket

    But either way, I have a valid ticket, every point along the way, don't I? The second I invalidate my advance ticket by alighting at Mossley Hill, I am in posession of a valid ticket, the Saveaway, providing it is the correct time of day.

    A query about an advance purchase ticket, combined with a Saveaway ticket

    If at South Parkway, providing the Saveaway ticket is valid at that time of day, wouldn't the ticket machine just assume I boarded elsewhere, eg Hunts Cross? From the machine's viewpoint I would be inserting a valid ticket.

    A query about an advance purchase ticket, combined with a Saveaway ticket

    Yes.....or for the purpose of this scenario - a friend buys one the day before, and gives it to me in Birmingham, before I depart.
