The ticket offices run by Lancashire County Council at Clitheroe, Nelson and Carnforth all were closed ~2020. The building at Clitheroe is now a station cafe. I wonder what the set-up and ongoing running costs would be if such businesses were to start selling rail tickets as a side line? A bit...

Giggleswick to Settle fares, which are all routed via Skipton.

,, I’m almost certain that there used to be an easement allowing the double back between Seamer and Scarborough, but I cannot find it on the current list. Has anyone got access to old copies of the Routeing Guide easements?

After having claims rejected and then appealing, I’ve finally got Northern to cough up for delay repay for journeys that my parents and I took on the same day back in June. Me - Lancashire to Cumbria on an off peak day return. Mum and Dad travelling together - South Yorkshire to Yorkshire coast...

Has these been discussed since the detsils of validity have become available? https://travelpass.northernrailway.co.uk/#/pass/cumbria_pass/ https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tickets-railcards-offers/promotions/cumbria-travel-pass/ £40 for 1 day, £99 for three consecutive days. Children half...

Distance and steps aside, one situation where this shouldn’t be happening is where passengers are forced to use a foot crossing to access ticket buying facilities. See the recommendations of the report into the fatal Elsenham station pedestrian crossing accident...

Settle/Giggleswick - my understanding is that you'll have no problems there. As for the other station pairs Horton/Clapham & Ribblehead/Bentham, this was something that Northern did at one time permit. It was confirmed at the time in writing and promoted in the Friends of the Settle Carlisle...

Respectfully done, of course. All Hallow’s Eve in the traditional sense. Just like a normal passenger.

Wasn’t it mentioned in a recent tread that the 129 may not survive Merseyside bus franchising? I’ve been thinking of taking a trip just for the experience. Halloween 2027 falls on a Sunday, which seems like an appropriate day to travel, so I hope that it lasts until at least then.

I’d say the best strategy (starting the journey from Bulwell to officially allow use of the Robin Hood Line, but in reality I doubt anyone would bat an eyelid if the OP started from Nottingham) could be an off-peak day-return to Barton on Humber, route “via Lincoln”, excessing the outward...

Yes there was. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/dales-railcard-changes-from-jan-2022.226109/#post-5473109

When morning peak restriction were introduced for the Dales Railcard, the changes were applied to existing, as well as new, railcard holders. I seem to recall that if you complained about it then Northern offered to cancel and refund your existing railcard.

Any more information on the Cumbria Travel Pass? It not being found on TVMs or in BFRfares could just mean that it will have a later launch date, but what I’m worried about is it being, heaven forbid, an online or app based only ticket.

It seems a big oversight that the Cumbria area rover and ranger changes didn’t make it into the latest Coast, Lakes, Dales and Fells timetable booklet, valid from last weekend. I wonder when the ticket changes are actually going live? https://coastandlakestraintimetable.co.uk/current-timetable

It’s a bit of a ridiculous restriction, but it seems that the OP’s daughter has broken the rules by using a gifted ticket. On the other hand, Northern are asking passengers to transfer supposedly untransferable complementary tickets to their travelling companions if they were travelling as a...
