    Priv London Euston to Prestwick Town

    That is exactly the position. The station was simply called Prestwick from 1839 to 1994.

    Brighton to Leicester query

    Yes, that is valid. You start to use the London Underground zone 1-2 to Leicester ticket from Blackfriars. No. That's not necessary.

    charged twice, unable to get full refund

    The next month in which the 6th is a Friday is September 2019. Is 6 September 2019 your date of outward travel? After next Monday, 8th July, the next month in which the 8th is a Monday is June 2020. This makes me suspect that at least one of your quoted dates is inaccurate.

    Unused ticket refund from Scotrail

    I would reply by post to the Company's registered address. Company law dictates that this is a valid method of correspondence.

    Unused ticket refund from Scotrail

    Does it include a postal address for the company, usually in small print at the bottom of the letter?

    LNER First Class Weekend Upgrades

    By my calculations, that's a £10 increase for all LNER journeys. The script being read on-board makes clear that children aged 5-15 now have to pay the full adult upgrade price. Previously, it was common for children travelling with adults not to be charged at all.

    Forgot season ticket: refund?

    Yes. No. You may take the ticket back to that ticket office if you wish, but not all ticket offices will be in a position to deal with your claim immediately, and I suspect many would sent it to a Northern Rail Customer Service Centre. Alternatively, you could e-mail Northern Rail, attaching a...

    Why can't PTE products have extension tickets?

    The 0947 Wakefield W - York 1030 is the first direct train to York from Wakefield on a Sunday. There is an earlier journey opportunity at 0911 Wakefield W - 0929 Doncaster 0937 - York 0957, but the cheaper via Leeds tickets are not valid by that route.

    Sheffield Tram Train tickets

    Both Rotherham PlusBus and Sheffield & Meadowhall PlusBus tickets include unlimited bus, tram and Tram Train travel within South Yorkshire. Oddly, Tram Train is described as a "Participating operator", not a mode of travel.

    Do some cross London tickets no longer show a Maltese cross?

    There's nothing to worry about. The ticket from Hereford to "London Underground Zones 1-2" is valid for a single rail journey from Hereford to Paddington, followed by a tube journey from Paddington to any London Underground station of your choice in Zone 1 or Zone 2. Similary, the ticket from...

    Routing Query, Wakefield - Lancaster

    Consulting the current Routeing Guide only, I find that: Wakefield Group - Lancaster Group is not permitted via Manchester Group. It is permitted to use map LX (via Hellifield), combination DH+XP (via Horbury Jn, Rose Grove & Preston) or combination NP+XP (via Leeds, Rose Grove & Preston)...

    Rishton - High Wycombe via Banbury is still shown on brfares.com and available for purchase at http://tickets.tpexpress.co.uk/tpe/en/journeyplanning/mixingdeck.

    Pick-up only destination - what grounds to prevent me using

    I agree that you could be charged for a single ticket to the first stop that isn't set down only, but I can see no basis for charging a season ticket for a single journey. Agreed.

    Child Ticket on F&F Railcard with an Adult Season

    This advice is incorrect. By buying "both a discounted priced ticket for their use and for a child", the customer will be charged 81% of the adult price, 66% for the adult and 19% for the child. Alternatively, the customer may travel on their season ticket and the child may buy a ticket at the...

    Breach of Impartiality Rules?

    Tickets routed "Via Barnham" often have very good value fares, but significantly slower journeys. Some websites prioritise the fastest journeys, so I'm not surprised you don't find the "Via Barnham" fares everywhere. The best site I have found for showing longer journeys but cheaper fares is...

    Collection Receipt

    If the ticket machine detects an error in the printing process, it sends a signal that it is unable to print the current order successfully, then overprints any tickets which have left the ticket stack but not yet reached the collection tray with 'VOID VOID VOID'.
