I've tried searching but it's too complicated. I just wish Northern would bring back the £10 newspaper offer. It was so much simpler.

Aha! Of course. I remember now. I'm not very good with three letter acronyms.

Dare I ask? An MPV please?

I'd be happy if Northern would bring back their £10 newspaper ranger offer. I used to love days out for a tenner.

Sorry for the tardy reply folks. My daughter has now taken on this case. I will keep you updated. Thanks for your advice.

Here's the reply from my appeal. I've had to redact my address etc... Dear Mr Jhonson, To ensure fairness and consistency in the decision-making process, appeals are considered in conjunction with a code of practice. The statements submitted on behalf of the passenger and the train company will...

When I look back it did look a bit sad. Only the proper anoraks had the balls to do it! However, I'd still love to see if anyone's got any photos of it happening.

What I want to know is where did they get those big fat crayons from?

Where were the days? I used to turn up at York station from over the other side of the Pennines. Preston. We always loved a trip out East to see other traction we didn't get on the West Coast Main Line. A £0.90 cheap day return to York was our choice. 1973 I think. I was 13 then. A class 104...

I'd been holding on to the ticket in case I received another due to Delay Repay. However my rail journey's are solely Bamber Bridge to Preston and return and they're always on time..... Damn!! ;)

Option 4 was my intended choice on the day. However the weather put paid to that. I love the walk from Bamber Bridge to Preston along the old East Lancs route into Preston along and parallel to the old Tram Road. It's a beautiful route and brings back many memories from when I was a kid and the...

Unfortunately the voucher is for a single journey only. It's not a return ticket. It's not much use to me on its own and has sat in my wallet for two years now and I can't think of a use for it. I fancied a trip to Nethertown for a walk along the beach to Braystones. Probably my favourite...

Thanks for all the advice folks. I paid the £20 as soon as I got home. I've written it off and will make sure for my future journeys I'll arrive 10 minutes before departure. Frustratingly I forgot I had a Northern free ticket in my wallet!

I'm looking for advice please. Could you help? I made an honest mistake. Yes, honestly :) I was issued a £20 penalty fare for travelling without a ticket from Bamber Bridge to Preston. I always buy a ticket before travelling. Always. I'm a 60 year old idiot! :) On Tuesday I had an...

Ouch! I hope they were able to cut the overhead power and get the poor moggy down safely.
