This is a very unfair comment. I have, on other threads in the past, praised guards. My comment was that if the guard had showed discretion, which they have the option of doing, the outcome would have been different. This is nothing more than fact, and is indeed what another guard on this...

Hi Serenity, Welcome to the forums. I'm really sorry to hear that your boyfriend is in hospital and you had to return early from your holiday. I hope everything turns out okay. I am also really sorry to hear about the abismal (or even, lack of) customer service that you received from the...

Thank you very much, NSEFAN and calc7.

I was about to ask the same thing! A one- or two-sentence summary (or link) is always useful when starting an "update" thread. EDIT: Sorry - I didn't notice that there was a page 2, which answers the question! Thank you, Ainsworth74.

I thought starting and stopping short was fine on all except Megatrain tickets. Can somebody please post the full rules for those of us who are interested in learning? Thank you.

Thank you very much for all your replies. There are have been some good suggestions, and the point wasn't to get too hung up on ceremonial boundaries, but to use a more subjective test of whether it was deemed to be "served" by the railway. Anyway, it's been an interesting discussion...

Namwon (South Korea) - travelled through there yesterday!

Newcastle-under-Lyne (population 123,900) is a good call. Gosport (population 82,600) is good, too. Thank you. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I foresaw that hence saying the following in my opening post: I was hoping that most people could be pragmatic about what is a...

Actually, I thought that, too, when Wikipedia was using 2001 data. Release of census data is the sort of thing that would come to my attention and I would look at (but living outside of UK, I do miss some stuff).
