Brfares (https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=MIR&dest=SNH&period=20250907) seems to suggest that other than 'any permitted' tickets, the restriction is 'not Preston/Lpool'. Is your planned route via Preston?

Given that it took just over four months for the railway to write to you in the first place, think about what that suggests for how quickly they're working at the moment - and don't be surprised that means they will take some time now. Also, although you probably want this out of the way as...

Just to point out that the Night Riviera picks up at Reading, so you don't need to go back to Paddington.

Should you ever have cause to try to use the north car park at Slough overnight, you may have an unpleasant surprise. When I last used it (admittedly a few years ago before Covid) it was charged - but there was no facility to buy an overnight ticket. So if you needed to park overnight (as you...

Amongst Merseyrail stations? No Amongst Parkways? I wouldn't know

That looks fine to me. Emailing it should be fine, but make sure that - you include the case reference in the title of the email and somewhere in the body of it (just to be really sure that they know that this is your letter that you've sent - you give them all the information which their...

So rename to 'Didcot for Abingdon and Wantage'?

Picking up on this, while it's tempting to try and point out to the railway that their staff are idiots, it's counter-productive, in that you want whoever deals with your appeal to concentrate on your appeal, and not get distracted by your opinion of the railway. So write as courteously as...

In post #19, the OP tells us So we don't need to speculate over where it was issued.

No worries. Can you remember what you wrote? That will give us some idea.

It would also be helpful if you could show us exactly what you said in your first appeal: I think it would help us to know if you (quite understandably) didn't say much as the point was obvious, or whether the appeals service have ignored valid points even when they were spelt out.

There must be fora like this devoted to graduate jobs with the big 4 accountants. At the very least, see if any of those have a steer on this sort of thing. My personal view is that it's better to advise your (potential) employer sooner rather than later: if the worst happens and they let you...

This, rather than 'Birmingham University': to the extent that there is a pattern on GB railways 'Anytown Suffix' station is generally somewhere in the middle of Anytown - think New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill for Birmingham, although not International. But let's not make a bad job worse by...

It will pass. It used to be HSTs, and one day will be some other class of stock.

Thanks. And it doesn't seem to have caused anyone else any difficulty, so probably down to me being slow rather than you being unclear.

Welcome to the forum. Without seeing exactly what you've been sent, I think you've rather misunderstood option 1. They're not giving you the opportunity to tell a good story, but to explain why you did nothing wrong - which would mean you being able to provide evidence of having a valid 26-30...

I'm pretty sure this is me being slow, but what are the other ones formed of - are they 12 car already?

To put this rather more bluntly - although the railway are giving you the chance to comment on each journey, the railway isn't stupid. They'll know what short-faring looks like, and if you say that you weren't short faring when you were then the railway will conclude that you're lying - which...

This looks like a practical way forward - not so much 'look how fast our trains are', but 'look how frequent our trains are' (yes, and maximise them to 12 cars as well)
