I couldn't ring them. It only gave email details. The email acknowledgment arrived about 15 minut5 after the one for the tickets. To clock things up further, I left my railcard at home. The ticket office at Warrington upgraded one of the singles to a full fare return - and pointed out that I...

Why? Are you an RPI?

Igot a cheapest fare of £7.90 in the column below the £7.80 single. I misread it as being the same thing. When I tried it on my phone, it went straight to the £7.90 return. It's a bit of a bummer that you can't cancel or change it without being charged an admin fee, even within 5 minutes of...

I am travelling from Sankey to Crewe tomorrow and bought a ticket in advance. I used the East Midlands site as I can get cashback via another site. I was sold two singles for £14.45, but when I checked on National Rail, I found the return fare is actually £7.90. Is there anything I can do about...

No, but anybody going up the footbridge is going "towards" the exit because the ticket office is located between the road bridge and the footbridge. I often saw RPI's positioned at the top of the stairs at Wimbledon - well before the exit. They stopped everybody who got off each train (causing...

I've always thought that deliberate short faring was theft - the same as shoplifting a bag of crisps. The amount doesn't matter.

Form the same terms and conditions, the Liverpool-Dublin service has a £20 charge for saver ticket holders. As saver tickets are £20 cheaper than standard, this is effectively just paying the difference.

How reliable are the published opening times? According to NRE, Warrington Central is open Monday - Friday 06:50 - 14:25, Saturday 07:45 - 15:20, Sunday Closed. However, I have been there in the evening and it's been staffed. In some cases, opening times seem to be shown in station info online...

Thanks, I tried it for a journey I knew but it gave me a very indirect route to avoid having to walk from Piccadilly to Victoria. lol But thanks anyway, it should be useful!

Is there a way setting national rail enquiries to only provide journeys on Northern? I have 4 of these to use but not sure of how to get the best use out of it.

Several years ago, I had a monthly season ticket from Elstree-Borehamwood to Chessington that wouldn't work at Blackfriars. It worked at ELS but not at central London stations. RPI said that was because it wasn't valid for central London stations!

Thanks, I might have missed it if there was a crowd in front of it! It would be useful to know for next time (in January)

I was looking around the exit after arrivals (it wasn't an international flight) but I didn't find anything. I didn't see one at the bus stop either and the driver didn't point one out to me (I'm sure he would have told me if there had been one there). Just telling the driver that the reference...

Does anybody know the location of the Luton Airport ticket machine? I bought a ticket from Luton Airport to Elstree-Borehamwood and selected the option to collect at Luton Airport. When I arrived at the airport I looked for the machine but couldn't find it. I then went to the shuttle bus stop...

What happens if you have an Advance ticket and the middle leg involves the tube. If you miss the train you were supposed to be on, do you have to buy a new full fare ticket for the next train, even though the delay was caused by LUL?
