    Route and validity on advance tickets

    I am not sure on that. I think the actual terms of ATW/FGW & Connections is that at least one leg of the journey must be on an ATW service. Someone with access to Journey Planner could confirm

    Clarifying Any Permitted Route

    If you know its a loophole why do you want to get it checked out? A loophole by definition is an unintended result of a set of rules/procedures.

    Redhill to Dorking via Horsham - Glitch or Valid Route?

    Isn't this the same as Canterbury stations? In this case Dorking Main to Redhill s valid (shortest route) via Horsham. But Dorking Deepdene is off route via Horsham (no map)

    NRE ticket search broken?

    I think this is a fares data error created by FCC, they changed the relationship with HEX fares

    Railcard Fraud?

    Well OP here is some basic advice. If you own either a smart phone or a pocket diary write down the expiry dates in your calendar. Each week review the week ahead and see if any key actions need to be actioned. Of course having been caught out, not of failing to renew your railcard but to avoid...

    Railcard Fraud?

    At the end of the day the OP only started to look at the railcard after the ticket was bought, the date was so faint it was clear that the ticket examination was going to expose the fact that it was out of date. Apparently the booking office was at fault for not checking the date thoroughly, but...

    Sunday Ticket Checks

    When they went DOO they actively put in on train revenue teams (rather than a single person checking between stops), plus penalty fare zones. It really is incredibly rare to have an on train ticket check on. LM South of MKC. Yes lots of. LM services on the Up and Down use platforms other than 8...

    Sunday Ticket Checks

    Euston to have gates within 2 years. Partly because you can capture people passing through on CCTV a lot easier with gates, partly because they want smart cards, partly because on train revenue on LM trains is woefully low compared to Thameslink and GN routes. Also the new LM London commuter...

    Sunday Ticket Checks

They make no money checking tickets. Any extra revenue goes to DfT, but they keep any savings on operating the...

    I don't think sleepers set down at WFJ on the Up Trains anyway.

    Class 321 & 317 cascades

    321 to the new Silverlink franchise. They can then be used on the WFJ and Tring peak hour extras. Solid simple units more than adequate for 30 minute dash to Euston. Plus well known on the route.

    23.00 London Euston-Man picc why run it?

    When I worked at Euston in the 1980s we had a 23.20 Liverpool/Manchester, split at Stafford. Both portions had a sleeper and heavy parcels and. Mail traffic. But only rarely had a decent loading in the seating stock.
