I've noticed some on Merseyside tend to have the "clocks" on the machines set to run around 8 minutes fast, presumably for the purpose of railcard holders etc.

I used one of these a few weeks ago and had no problems using it at all on the Saturday. The member of ticket office staff at Limey that served me had good knowledge of the ticket as well.

I won 2nd price (£50) ona Pathfinder Tour's Mersey Mancunian railtour back in January this year. I was dancing on the ceiling!

Yep, you read it correctly. It just depends on the ability/attitude of whoever is serving at Rice Lane. I never considered buying it at Kirkby if i can't at Rice Lane.

I'm doing one of these tomorrow, but I live outside of the area. Will I be able to buy my GMDR (along with regular ticket to the boundary, Orrell in my case) at my local station (Rice Lane)?

Apart from 1 service a week half of the year: Runcorn.

I've been on an 87 which was bricked years back, a Voyager which did an emergancy stop and a 323 which started rolling away while it was stopped in a station with the doors open.

Bugger, I was looking at around 5 or 6 o'clock tomorrow and it was coming up ok. Ah well, never mind. Thanks anyway.

Tomorrow I'm off on a jolly to London, I'm considering coming back via Derby (I live in Liverpool) which according to nationalrail.co.uk is valid. However, my question is if a train I am on is late/canceled meaning that I'll miss my connection, is it the TOC's responsibility to get me home...

Here is a map of Euston Station which may be of some help. http://www.networkrail.co.uk/documents/For%20Passengers/Station%20Maps/4500_Euston%20Station%20Map.pdf

What if the guard of the next train is unaware of the cancellation?

Can you use them at your destination?

Gutted, I'm on the 0719 from Liverpool a week on saturday in FC. no brekkie for me :( Sandwiches are free from the shop though aren't they?

Some people throw tickets away after they have used them though.

Would a London - Liverpool ticket be valid on WSMR to Tame Bridge? then would I be able to get a train to New Street and onto Lime Street?
