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

    Thanks, I am glad I am not going mad. For each passenger I uploaded two PDFs, one for each passenger with both tickets present (i.e NCL-MAN on page 1, MAN-CDF on page 2) and maybe the auto system has just used the first page? The TfW delay repay site still shows the claim in progress, even...

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

    Hello everyone I write for a maths (and sense) check before I disagree with TfW's calculation of delay repay compensation. Last Friday I had tickets for a journey from Newcastle to Cardiff as follows: 0824-0913: Newcastle to York 0958-1136: York to Manchester Piccadilly 1230-1545: Manchester...

    Heat related disruption 8 July 2026 onwards

    I'm currently on the 1011 Didcot Parkway to Paddington stopper... which is running non-stop between Reading (where we are currently idle) and Paddington due to the warm weather. I'm not sure how missing out three stops can help other than perhaps allowing for a bit of extra padding in the...

    Seatfrog fee refund when service is declassified

    Hmm, when you put it like that I suppose maybe I am not actually entitled to that fee refunded. As you say, Seatfrog upheld their side of the agreement and provided me with an upgrade. It's not their fault the train was declassified.

    Seatfrog fee refund when service is declassified

    Evening all, On Sunday I travelled on the 1147 Carlisle to Euston, having connected there on a service from Edinburgh. En route to Carlisle I sensed that the 1147 would be full as the services either side of it had been cancelled, and bought a SeatFrog upgrade to Standard Premium. The train...

    Newtongrange to Didcot Parkway, Sunday 23rd, super off peak apparently not available

With the lines to KGX shut I planned to go via Carlisle, starting at 0920, then the 1013 Edinburgh - Carlisle service and from Carlisle to Euston, then to Paddington and Didcot Parkway. I was going to buy a super off peak single...

    Forum ticket site refund query: refunding a journey bought as two separate Advances in the same basket vs one return.

    Yes, all happily resolved and as I noted above I was initially surprised that I'd be able to get any money back at all. One thing to clarify though. Had I originally searched for, and bought, the Newtongrange-Hook Advance Singles as one "return" search, rather than doing one then the other, the...

    Forum ticket site refund query: refunding a journey bought as two separate Advances in the same basket vs one return.

    What I originally booked: Newtongrange - Hook, LNER Advance Single Hook - Newtongrange, LNER Advance Single Two tickets, found from two separate searches, placed into the same basket and bought as one transaction, so one transaction ID covers both. What I replaced it with: Newtongrange -...

    Forum ticket site refund query: refunding a journey bought as two separate Advances in the same basket vs one return.

    Not sure if Fare advice or dispute, but it does involve the forum retailler. Last week I bought a journey, made up of Advance single tickets, as two separate legs, in the same transaction, for a journey departing on Thursday. So in my account I have two different entries (one outbound, one...

    Newtongrange-Southampton Airport Parkway 26/27 June

    Stellar, thank you for that! The first bus of the day gets to Carlise at 1155, so a 1225 departure is either perfect timing or madly tight, depending on one's propensity for risk But this has given me things to think about, thank you!

    Newtongrange-Southampton Airport Parkway 26/27 June

    Class 80x hater enjoys Lumo?!

    I'm currently on a Lumo service. On Sunday, I took LNER in the opposite direction. Strikes me that the Lumo seats *seem* quite narrow as compared with LNER. For context, I wear an XL polo shirt. I moved across to an empty seat as my right arm kept brushing up against the person seated next to...
