    Maths (and sense!) check before submitting delay repay appeal to TfW

    Looks like they've just calculated the Delay Repay as 50% of the total fare(s) that were paid for the Newcastle to Manchester part of the journey. So, yes, would query why it's not also 50% of the fare(s) additionally paid for the Manchester to Cardiff Central part of the journey. In other...

    Incident between Wigan Wallgate and Southport (29th August 2026)

    Just to clarify, was it a Northern train that had only recently left from Southport, or a train on its way into Southport? The BBC report, linked to in post #19 by @Halwynd, suggests the latter.

    Day-Flex Single tickets

    So, how long before TPE publicise (or sell) their new Day-Flex offering? If I rightly recall, the entirely separate 'Northern Explorer' day ticket was showing in the fares data (& available to purchase at TVMs) a little while before there was any associated publicity.

    Grosmont to Whitby anomaly

    Would a (railcard discounted?) £3.25 fare (Off Peak Day Return?) be valid on that? Thought NYMR fares were much higher than that!

    Offal - why are less-desirable cuts of meat more expensive?

    Closed maybe 50+ years ago? Essentially a product of their time.

    Is 6 minutes long enough to change trains at ELY

    It's certainly tight, six minutes is the official minimum connection time at Ely, question is whether the train from Cambridge arrives at Ely on the same platform as the departure from Ely onwards to Peterborough. Some do, some don't. Not sure that the trains on your itinerary actually do. A...

    Day-Flex Single tickets

    Indeed. Off Peak Day Singles (undiscounted, valid any operator) between Liverpool Stns and Manchester Stns are currently priced at £18.80, just 40p than the Anytime Day Single equivalent (= £19.20). What are the chances of the Off Peak Day Single being eliminated for this particular flow? And...

    Day-Flex Single tickets

    Interesting! Noted that reservations do seem to be required. Fare setter appears to be TPE. Wonder how exactly this new product will differ in price / availability / associated conditions, compared with existing route "AP TPE Only" Advance Singles, for journeys between Liverpool Stns and...

    Invalid rail card

    @RHDH. Welcome to the forum. You genuinely didn't realise that the tickets you were buying/using were quite so cheap / half price? Which train company are you dealing with? = GWR or SWR? Worst case, if you engage with them appropriately, is that you get asked to pay a lump sum calculated at the...

    Dinting - Hadfield

    Thanks for clarifying. Yes, that one runs fast from Guide Bridge to Hadfield, via Dinting (obviously!) but without calling at Dinting.

    Dinting - Hadfield

    Good question! So is it just the end of normal service 2356 (SuX) that currently runs directly between Dinting and Hadfield (not via Glossop)? And the 1004 (SuO) at the start of service on Sundays?

    Services you've done end-to-end

    Another one for me... Manchester Oxford Road to Southport. Via Wigan Wallgate.

    Travel Irregularity Report

    @Asmi86. It's not a fine, as @John R has just pointed out, but paying the £197.40 amount requested (= £77.40 unpaid fare plus a £120.00 administration fee) within the stipulated 21 days timeframe should be then be the end of the matter.

    Wrong Ticket Sold on board Greater Anglia train?

    Has it been confirmed what the TVM at Sudbury will or will not sell? Is cash payment possible, or is it card (or collection) only?

    Lost property showing up as in Craigentinny Hitachi Maintenance Depot

    Is there any fee incurred which is payable when retrieving lost/mislaid items, such as the device mentioned by the OP?
