W.M.R. to Aston

^ this. They're much nicer than the new I.E.T.s, at any rate.

Applying Kennari equivalence (recently readded to the Standardised North-West System Rules after the pen-pushers at the distribution board removed it back in '03), we can use the red-letter jump and end up at Edgware Road (not that one; the other one).

That being said, it's not as though other T.O.C.s are all regularly below eighty per cent. The national average is 87.1%

Furlong - yes, I'd meant 5(3). The dangers of forum posting while not entirely sober! :lol:

That isn't how 5(3) works. The use of the word 'or' (rather than 'and') at the end of the lettered paragraphs means that 5(3)(a) [i.e. "Travels or attempts to travel on a railway without having previously paid his fare, and with intent to avoid payment thereof"] is itself an offence. Other...

Exonian local here - G.W.R. are pretty reliable! Most of the horror stories down here are on S.W.R., while G.W.R. and their staff are generally helpful and effective when something goes wrong.

I'm not sure how a differing legal framework would render the 'by necessary implication' aspect of the law invalid. After all, the 'general law' (RoRA) remains unchanged; all that has differed is the Act that gives the byelaws authority, which was never the same Act as that creating the general...

Yes, those who have corrected me are quite right. Ignore me - contact E.M.R. and make reference to your planned itinerary.

So, in Huffam v. The North Staffordshire Railway Company (1894.2 Q.B., 821), the railway by-law that established a strict liability offence of travelling without a ticket was found to be "bad". Quoting from a legal journal, "the passenger was found using the return half of a ticket after the...

This tbh. When things start to go wrong the best thing is always to make sure that what you do has been endorsed

If you never boarded a train to Liverpool South Parkway, it would be my understanding that you were not strictly affected by the cancellation of the East Midlands Train - after all, otherwise I could submit a claim to any train company that ran a delayed train out of my local station, claiming...

What Hadders said. As a general rule it's not safe to assume that a London Terminals ticket can be used to travel from Stratford on the Central line.

I really don't think it's fair to say that knowing a block was going on is "reasonable grounds [to assume] that a crime had been committed". The assumption could quite easily have been one of good faith - perhaps a wording along the lines of: "Sorry to bother you, sir, but I just wanted to...

Not a northerner, but G.W.R. have sometimes organised something similar at Exmouth, where there are no barriers. The staff are generally wearing those portable ticket machines - anyone entering the station is offered to buy a ticket, and anyone trying to get off a train without a ticket is asked...

Regardless, whether or not they're used to dealing with fare evaders, there's no excuse for treating a member of the public in this fashion. It's disrespectful in the extreme and frankly rather Kafkaesque

Hi! I'm looking for advice on finding the cheapest possible tickets for a trip from Exeter St Davids to Bracknell and back again on the same day, the 16th of November. I don't need any particular times, but I'm aiming to do some shopping, so it would be good if I can be there for a while (i.e...

Nonsense. §(5)(2) of the Regulation of Railways Act 1889: "If a passenger having failed either to produce, or if requested to deliver up, a ticket showing that his fare is paid, or to pay his fare, refuses or fails on request by an officer or servant of a railway company, to give his name and...
