You're in the clear for that weekend - service essentially as normal.

Hmm see attached graphic on the Új Tarifa website which states otherwise. Naturally a positive scan suggests either the website is wrong or the scanners are being generous!

The Hungary day pass is very much not valid on the Budapest Metro - though it is valid on HÉV trains. The monthly pass however is.

Arriva's 777 from Kingston Park to Morpeth is primarily on country roads after Newcastle Airport. Depending on how keen the driver is some will absolutely rag it particularly between Ponteland and the Morpeth outskirts.

I assume whacked in very last minute as from my experience Network Rail will send you an email asking for a correction if you bid a bus with totally impossible timings.

Both down lines away from London reopened to all traction - diesel only on both up lines towards London.

In my seven months of doing Passenger Assist bookings for a number of TOCs (with the ability to sell tickets) I don't think I was ever actually asked for this discount. We had two ticket issuing systems depending on TOC, and the ones that used STAR Telesales I recall having a generic "50%...
