Thank you, Sir. Edit: Contacted XC through email address for enquiries and complaints. Tried phone also but not answering. Will try again later. Entered correct debit card details. Not sure why Delay Repay defaulted to a previous debit card. My fault for not reviewing the claim before clicking...

Spouse and I travelled XC Newcastle to Exeter 24th and return 26th June. Delayed both journeys. Submitted claim for each leg. Not resolved. When I checked I realised that the card details defaulted to an old card I no longer have. Submitted new claims using the actual card details. New claims...

Used IS45 Exeter to Durham yesterday. The train was a couple of minutes late at St Davids. The Manchester train had been cancelled so they all piled on ours. 17 mins late at Temple Meads because of 'overcrowding'. The Train Manager told the Manchester contingent that their train would now be...

Thanks both.

I used to use the cross-city line to get to school in the sixties. I remember the DMUs used to have a separate first class area next to the cab with curtains and very comfy seats. Occasionally there would be units with Western or Scottish numbers. There was a coal fire in the waiting room and...
