Ah, OK – sorry, I think we were talking at cross purposes. I thought you were saying it wasn't valid on LNWR at all. I've just checked the forum's ticketing site (which, as far as I know, is the only retailer that attempts to generate itineraries specifically for TfL 60+ Oyster card holders)...

I assume you mean East Midlands Railway, not London Northwestern Railway (West Midlands Trains)? TFL 60+ is definitely valid on LNWR as far as Harrow and Wealdstone (but not Watford Junction) and onwards with an appropriate boundary extension ticket. The current T&C's are at...

The work of the ASA is tremendously important and it is simply not correct to say they have no effect in practice. Although they don't have the power to fine, they have the power, for example, to refer to Trading Standards or OfCom. You can read about the possible sanctions for non-compliance...

I don't have a reference for it, but fairly certain this has been published as part of a FOI request. I believe the leeway is 2 minutes after and 5 minutes before the off-peak period start and end times. i.e. you can tap in until 0635 and from 0927 to get an off-peak fare (similarly 1605 and...

Yes, just tried again, using both Firefox (my normal default browser) and Chrome. In both cases signed in to my Google account which have payment methods attached. I'm fairly sure it's not a problem at my end, since I frequently use Google Pay without problem on many other websites.

I'm having a similar issue. Google Pay is happily appearing on my phone app version, but not on the desktop browser version (Chrome or Firefox). This is frustrating, since I normally prefer to book tickets on my desktop where possible (bigger screen to see options) and as a rule, I don't like...

To follow up on my posting, very impressed that PlusBus replied within a day and have now fixed the website so that the Lewes PlusBus participating operators has been changed from: Arriva Kent and Surrey to: Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company, Compass Travel They do seem to have left out...

Somewhat puzzled about the PlusBus for Lewes: https://www.plusbus.info/lewes The PlusBus website states that the only participating operator is Arriva Kent and Surrey. To the best of my knowledge, Arriva do not (and never have) operated any services in this area. I've sent them an email, since...

I'm attempting to buy a ticket on the forums website from Boundary Zone 6 (selecting TFL 60+ Oyster) to High Wycombe tomorrow...

For the railforum's ticketing site (unlike c2c/Avanti), it won't accept Boundary Zone 6 as an origin (I wish it would, but it doesn't!). The way to get it to offer this ticket is to set your start point as LON (All stations), and then in the Options, under "Existing Travelcard held" tick the...

You can definitely buy this online for TOD (collection at any station with a machine, e.g. Paddington) from either c2c, Avanti or the railforums own ticketing website. Most other retailers don't sell Boundary Zone tickets.

My understanding is that with Oyster PAYG you must touch in and touch out to get the fare, presumably at Hatch End to get the £1.50 fare you're quoting. People with more knowledge may want to confirm, but don't think there's a way round that. I've been similarly frustrated when making journeys...

I've had my 60+ Oyster for nearly a year now, and frequently use it in conjunction with tickets from Boundary Zone 6 to points outside of London without touching my oyster in/out at the boundary. I haven't experienced any problems doing this. Indeed, in some cases it would be impossible to do...

Ok - thanks for the quick reply although I'm not sure it has really answered my question. I have some understanding of Boundary Zone tickets, but not all it's nuances so apologies if my question appears naive. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, just trying to make sure I'm using the ticket...

I'm attempting to buy a Boundary Zone 6 to Edenbridge Town Off Peak Day Return (I have a TFL 60+ Oyster selected in the Options and putting in London Bridge as my origin station). The site is I believe correctly offering me this ticket for £6.05 (with my Senior railcard), but is then stating...
