230001 not running today (Saturday)? According to RTT Realtime Trains https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:GFD/2026-02-14/0200-0159 the BEMU unit 230001 isn't running at all today (Saturday 14 Feb 26). The Greenford branch service appears to be operating all day with a two-car...

I've just been browsing this thread - I have no connection with Southern or any other TOC (except as a passenger) and no opinions on the above. I note that the OP quickly edited his posts to remove the names of individual staff members, when suggested. And yet those names are still there in...

I don't think that's quite right. It was concluded in another recent thread One Day Travelcards and Split Ticketing that One Day Travelcards CAN be used in conjunction with a Boundary Zone extension ticket, under an exception to the NRCoC 19 rules: Here is a direct link to the source of the...

I know this thread has been dormant for a few days, but I just wanted to digress slightly to share my experience regarding refunds of PAYG credit on expired Oyster Photocards (eg 11-15 and 16+) that was mentioned earlier. To me, it's a matter of principle to get all refunds due, rather than...

A related observation about ticket collection (sorry if this is drifting away from the original question): About a year ago, the RedSpottedHanky call centre told me that ANY bank card would trigger ANY machine at ANY station to request the ticket collection code (TGBEMGWW etc)! I tested this...

...which is precisely why I started this thread - to get confirmation I can rely on when travelling, backed by a definitive official source. This is exactly what I got (thank you) in the form of a quote from the Fares Manual (NFM) extract provided by bb21 in post #9 in this thread which is...

...and that paragraph from the Fares Manual (NFM) makes it crystal clear, thank you: Combination of Tickets Day Travelcards can be used in combination with Boundary Zone tickets for journeys which extend beyond the London Fare Zones boundary, whether or not the train calls at the point...

Thank you all for the very prompt replies. Let me attempt to clarify what I'm understanding from your comments (feel free to correct): - It is OK to combine a One Day Travelcard (ODTC) with an NR ticket from Boundary Zone 6 (BZ6) without the train stopping, without fear of challenge en...

Could someone please help me to clarify the rules for split ticketing when one of the tickets is a London One Day Travelcard? This is potentially beneficial as I travel into London (from Tube Zone 5) before starting my NR journey. In order to use the following combination, must the train...
