I was only aware of Scotrail, not having a penalty fare scheme, until the last week or so. All of my rail journeys in Scotland have been prebooked, except two.

Today after coming to check the forums, a "warning phishing site". Does anybody know why this is coming up?

Engineering works, i think that was 2013 january. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- 2014 departure 2013 arrival

On every journey, that I have traveled solely in Scotland, the staff at stations and on the trains have been excellent, Informative. It was a bit of a nightmare getting to ladybank (cant remember which station that time, I presume as the return was from there) between Christmas and New year...

to be fair, it is the first question that I have asked on this thread. Also all most of my posts were included in one post, automatically. I presume from the thread that a carnet ticket is one where you fill the date of travel in yourself, so only asking to confirm. Though whatever answer was...

The frontline staff should not be put in the position in the first instance. I have seen on a local bus recently, usb ports every other seat, should trains have these if they are doing this kind of ticket? If it is a one off situation, it should be accepted that it maybe a genuine error and with...

a careful considered response is essential without admitting any guilt, before giving a response. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- apologies to interject here, I would like to compliment all the staff I have encountered in Wales, friendly, informative, helpful and damn right...

I do think that they would only pay out at the legal aid rate from central court funds, which may not cover you...

thanks I thought as much

sorry for being ignorant, what does TOC stand for please? many thanks stuart

The thread title was facing two court cases for the same journey. I am very thankful for all the comments. I have not lied at all during this thread.

to be fair I stated i arrived at waverly ticket office around 0630, I did not know the times of the trains and also not knowing what time I arrived at peterborough. I have edited posts with information gathered since this thread has been going. But have made no attempt to adjust my original...
