    Duplicated seat reservations TPE

    or the even more unlikely scenario 4 (which happened to me) buy tickets, get billed twice, get a refund on one set, realise a few days before travel that refunding one set put the seats back into the pool. thankfully no one else had booked them

    WMT Tysley shift fitter

    Good afternoon all, I was wondering what the shift times were for shift fitters? Ive had a look through my conditional contract, and it doesn't say, and like a fool I forgot to ask in the interview. Trying to figure out how bad traffic will be to find a good area to look at between there and my...

    GWR 1st catering now weekdays (& before 7:30pm) only, and not for Paddington Oxford customers

    last time I traveled 1st with GWR (back in february) they had just removed diet coke from the first class offerings, does anyone know if it has been reinstated? when I emailed them they said they were looking into it. No good for my diabetic girlfriend who is lumped with just water if she...

    Rail strikes discussion

    I'd just like to weigh in on strike dates, I wouldn't rule out the commonwealth games. The RMT keep talking about us (psv/bus) striking then, and we've been offered what I thought was a generous 6 month deal as it is. If they combine bus strikes and rail, they might stand a chance at crippling it.

    First class TPE advance not valid in Avanti 1st due to disruption.

    I had the exact same thing a couple of years ago when the gerald was canceled between Cardiff and Hollyhead, we got so far, then turfed onto the then virgin trains service, the first class host was happy with us being there, since our tickets were advanced first, and this was the next service...
