    Enquiry/Booking Site Discrepancies

    I have been looking at time and fare results for a straightforward journey with one change between a Merseyrail station and a station outside Merseyside. I don't wish to name the stations as they have a fare visible on BRfares, with route '.', which could be considered 'loophole'. Using the...

    Restriction code AW - overcharging?

    Thanks for the replies, which explain but don't excuse the situation. In my example the difference between the Off Peak and Anytime fares is small but I can imagine circumstances in which the difference would be significant.

    Usage of American English words on the British railway network

    Usage of American English words on the British railway network

    'Bus station' itself can be problematic in countries where English isn't the first language. I've seen and heard 'Busstation' instead of 'Bushaltestelle'. A few years ago in the grid-like streets of a Greek city the bus station of which I'd used a couple of times, I was confused by the Google...

    Usage of American English words on the British railway network
