The Timetable Planning Rules sometimes provide for an "allowance" to be taken as a differential rather than as an allowance, especially in the North East for whatever reason. Some people argue it looks unprofessional to appear to be late or excessively early when you're actually not, but I...

Doing that would go down very badly with people who have Advance tickets for the latter.

I contribute via public funds for all sorts of extremely expensive items I'll never personally benefit from directly, such as multitudes of advanced cancer treatments, care and education plans for disabled children, and welfare for working age sickness. I still support those things being...

If it were up to me (which it very much isn't) I'd add several shoulder peak stops at Normanton on the express trains, at Dore & Totley on EMR and at Outwood on Knottingley services, and leave it at that. Some probably won't go in without jiggling, and of course, some already stop anyway. For...

Yes. The prices are a disaster story basically everywhere except for the straightforward last station in Zone 6 first station outside it on Oval e.g. Knockholt. Nowhere more so than the Redhill area, though Grays, Amersham, Reading, Luton Airport and so on all have quirks. 1763499269 I think a...

It's much simpler than that. It's because the turnaround time at Sheffield would be bust by the stops. 1763498448 It's possible that 170s will provide cover but the current "spare" rolling stock is two two car 158s. The 170s are all needed for their current work. 1763498682 If you took away...

Agreed. It's good a PF was issued because it means the appeal route is available.

If this happens in future, you should speak to a member of staff at a station where you change trains or end your journey and say "I have travelled from [name of station, i.e. In this case you would say Wolverton] just now, but I wasn't able to buy a ticket before boarding because [the reason -...

It also says on the National Rail Enquiries website you can travel with any company. Presumably that counts as authorisation now even with a Transport for Wales only season ticket to use any company. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say.

You were asked for a picture of the ticket gates. Not the tickets.

I suppose that's no worse than the contactless fares to/from stations Coulsdon South - Horley often being more expensive than the equivalent paper single. Horley - Waddon Anytime Day Single £6.80 Horley - Waddon Cpay Off Peak £9.00 Horley - Waddon Cpay Peak £11.00 The above has been the case...

Generally seats can't be reserved on domestic Belgian trains (usually only groups) so you show up, get on the train, and off you go.

In the US airlines have been known offer hundreds of dollars worth of credits on people's accounts in exchange for volunteering to be bumped into the next flight. Even that still probably leaves them well up on the deal though as it can only be spent on more flights!!

Think about it this way. Wizz Air and their like know that a certain proportion of people who buy their tickets miss / abandon flights without telling them, as is their right. In almost no circumstances do they ever have to refund or rebook customers for this. They may occasionally offer a...

I think a Zone 1-4 Anytime Day Travelcard (£8.30) or a Zone 1-6 Off Peak Day Travelcard (£8.30) would be cheaper than two singles and only 20p more than a return? So that's probably the easiest option.

Not really, there's no entrance to platform 3 from anywhere other than where the entrance to the other platforms is, so given the statement that they were there at all times it seems unlikely that someone managed to get down there...

Because you can still see the platform at Bradford Forster Square without going through the ticket gates.

You can keep saying this until you're blue in the face, but unless you raise a complaint with Northern, you won't get any new information as a result of repeating it. You said "if it left with no passengers on it" - so you tell me, were there any passengers on it?

I guess you mean left in passenger service rather than with no passengers? We can be confident it was in service. It was you saying that nobody was on it.
