    Delay repay: LNR > Avanti

    Oh! It was the latter I was booked on. I definitely looked at either the Trainline app or the National Rail one and it was flagged as cancelled. Maybe because the final leg of the train's schedule was cancelled the app made it appear as if the whole train was off? Hard to reconstruct now. I...

    Delay repay: LNR > Avanti

    Hi there. Another delay repay question, I'm afraid as I've always been bad at claiming (but this ticket was late notice and quite expensive, so it'd be good to reclaim some of it!). On Monday, 27 April I was booked to travel from Bushey at 10:26 on a London Northwestern train, get off at...

    You can build three tunnels...

    Hi there. I'm a lurker on this forum, and most definitely don't have any level of expertise when it comes to engineering or train operations. For that reason, I definitely favour the more blindly optimistic areas of speculative changes, although I think as long you acknowledge that you're...

    Off peak to peak return query

    Hi there, Medium-term browser shamelessly turned poster because I've got a query! A week or so ago I went to get the last afternoon off-peak train from Liverpool Street to Norwich. Thanks to the wonderful confusing layout of the display boards at Liverpool Street I managed to miss my train...
