I see the Fort William portion arrived 59 minutes late. That's strange, same as ours did a couple of years back. So we only got 50% delay repay.

I forgot the Bakerloo line. Many thanks.

May I be impertinent and ask what is the easy route route Kings Cross to Waterloo?

Thanks for the clarification. I can't see many cruise passengers going from NCL to SOU by air. The service from LTN to AbZ was pretty busy.

My wife and I flew easyJet Luton to Aberdeen a couple of years ago on an Airbus 319 is that not a similar distance SOU-NCL?

I read up thread that NX are de-staffing a number of coach stations. As I was at one time the Customer Experience Manager at MK Coach way I was wondering why that site is not being de-staffed. Is it I that the reason why is that NX staff now have to secure the site when they finish their...

Jet2 were good for my wife and I. They cancelled the flight on the 8th September and the holiday as well. The whole amount had been refunded by Sunday the 13th..

I worked on t.he Met from 1989 to 1996 mainly at Watford Met, Croxley, Moor Park, Northwood and occasionally Ricky.

When I worked on the Met there was a rumour that under no circumstances will the Chesham branch be closed. This was due to the number of senior LT managers that lived in the Chesham area. How true, I don't know.

My wife and I were in exactly the same position. We were due to fly out from East Midlands Airport at 15.05 to Fuerventura for a special holiday. We were sat on the aircraft for two hours but eventually told to return to the terminal. Where we sat for another couple of hours. Then someone...

You can only transfer a PAYG Oyster Card. One that is used for period tickets, travel cards etc can only be used by the person who it was issued to. The RPI was correct. I can't comment on the action the RPI did or didn't take.

I am between the two but I tend to use Mansfield B/O as I can get there free of charge as I have a ENCTS Buss Pass and Mansfield's bus Stn is right next door to the Railway station

Fortunately my PTAC last longer than a year so we don't have to go to London to get a Priv Oyster renewed. I think the PTACs last for 5 years.

I'm in a similar position being ex LUL/ TfL with a retired PTAC and my wife has a Partner version. I have to go either Worksop or Mansfield to a Booking Office if I want to use the Underground. I know I could get Priv Oysters but for the number of times we go to London it's really not worth it.

During my time as an LUL Booking Clerk there was a Chief Clerk that also lived on the IOW. Anecdotally there was a some sort of Signalling manager who lived in South Wales who was rostered one Boxing Day. It was rumoured he was taxied in and taxied home later. I have no idea of the validity of...
