None of which allow you access to St Pancras lnternational without going via the Thameslink platforms - which are without a lift...

Just received an email from Thameslink about the St Pancras lift refurbs booked in from 15 June until mid-September 2026. In the email, it states: (Their bold) What on Earth do they mean?

Engaging a solicitor does not in any way guarantee you won't go to court. You may end up with exactly the same outcome and consequences, but with the additional cost.

If this genuinely is the first and only time you have done this "short faring" - note, this is different to 'the only time you have been *caught* doing this' - then you are very very unlucky, but a trawl of your ticket buying history should be of no concern to you as it will show you have...

Yes they almost certainly will, but... ...based on what you have told us, that check will reveal nothing so you don't have to worry about them doing so. As a reminder, you will only get the outcome you desire (avoiding court) if you are totally honest with the train company. And we can only...

Slightly confused on when the arrest was. Were you arrested at the initial stop on 22 January, or when the BTP visited your house on 6 June? Or both?

Ahh sorry I see what you mean now - they swap ends mid journey.

Surely the system is simply "whichever driver end is driving, show declassified on the other end"?

Bedford Borough Council (and its taxpayers) would surely have something to say if it is the case that Wixams will still only have 2 platforms.

What is your proposal for where the Luton/St Alban's trains end up after their arrival in London? Where do they terminate and turn around, thus taking up a platform and requiring driver changeover facilities?

No. Wixams station does not exist beyond a construction site. No platforms at all, no station buildings, no footbridge, no car park, no infrastructure. Just a pile of mud with some train tracks running through it. Been that way for the best part of 15 years. The government's decision to cancel...

Hopefully at least some of it will go on M1 J13 improvements...

Thankyou - useful to know going forward what the rate is so members can advise others.

Might it also be useful, if the OP is willing to share, a ballpark total cost for instructing and using Manak - I see an estimate of £1k is above, but in other recent threads we advise "from about £600" - would be good to advise future members and accurate cost range should they wish to go down...

What if the only alternative is an on the spot arrest? Is that even possible? Refusing to cooperate maybe?

And allows us to maximise our help to any future members who may find themselves in a similar situation.

No disrespect taken - and sorry I'm not aware of the history of Kath. However, my understanding is that the railway companies are legally obliged to assist passengers who need it under the DDA. On the assumption that the member of staff who has now retired used to assist Kath on demand over the...

I appreciate it's not the "turn up and go" service you deserve, but have you looked into requesting passenger assistance for the times you will need assistance?

When you say your friend "edited" the ticket - I don't believe it's possible to officially change the date on a rail ticket (ie initially buy it for the 12th but then change it to the 11th). I believe you would need to purchase a new ticket and then refund the incorrectly-dated one. However I...

Would it be possible to add a toggle to hide the bridge and tunnel sections, so that all rail lines are black?
