    Forthcoming changes to National Rail Conditions of Travel

    I have to say this is a real problem for me for members of my family and the new refund terms since 1st April have been a significant retrograde step when planning trips now. Genuinely I actually travel less now because of this (I mean it affects travelling companions and planning for them...

    Trainline to be investigated for not including fees in prices

But do the TOCs when they are selling tickets operate within 4.5% or do they spend a lot more than 4.5% on selling...

    Does Northern Use Dynamic Pricing for Advances?

    I wonder, would any TOC do any of the things you have highlighted TrainPal as doing? I mean frequent sales, loyalty schemes, promo codes, cashback, or similar? Or even prize draws for free tickets?

    Using the same dates and times I get the same overpriced results for Partick, Hyndland and Jordanhill to Edinburgh too.

    Avanti Website and Email showing different times

    Liverpool to Manchester off peak policy
