I wouldn't be offering up when your Railcard expired, they don't know if you had a paper or digital on any device in the past. All they know is that you didn't have a valid one on this instance so just focus on that. You now realise that you Railcard had expired here and will ensure that you...

I've done a few and only booked seats the day or so before for very few trains, even then we've grabbed a table instead mostly

But there's no prospect of prosecution and if the OP did loose, as long as the payment is made within the specified timeframe their won't be a CCJ so what's to loose. There's plenty of time to gather evidence. A wrong ticket was shown on 4/5/24 so they are entitled to the difference between the...

Presumably OP can apply for delay compensation for the late arrival at the intended destination due to the door problem. If that's promptly accepted it would be evidence of acceptance by GTR of the original intended journey

Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see why you'd pay them that sum of money if you haven't done anything wrong. If there's no prospect of a criminal case, just potential for a civil case and they have no evidence that you did use the tickets yourself how can they prove that you have...

Passing through or a train calling later at a restricted station is OK as long as you don't board or alight before the specified time. For instance we passed through new street before 9am on an XC service last year using an ALR without issue

Thanks for the tip, we're on the 1032 from Swansea now!

Thanks for the response, the only bit that bothers me is that contradicts 4.3. To purchase discounted tickets, at least one cardholder and at least one child aged 5 to 15 years must be travelling together. Understandably I want something clear if we were stopped while travelling

The terms of a family and friend railcar include the line; INFORMATION: Children aged under 16 at the time that the Railcard is purchased may still travel at the discounted child fare throughout the validity period of the 1-year Railcard, even if they become 16 years old during that time or...

True, I know we would need to complete the journey on another service. The timetable is a little disappointing though, if we did a return to Fort William we wouldn't get back till 1728. That's why I was looking at ferry and bus to Kyle of Lochalsh

I'm thinking of doing my first all line rover in the week before Easter with my son taking advantage of our family rail card discount. Can anyone offer advice on using one? We would like to ride the sleeper (with berth supplement) to Mallaig, it looks possible to bus and ferry across to Kyle of...
