Not exactly. Stoneleigh, Ewell East and Ewell West are in Zone 6 and are in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, not in Greater London. At the time of the introduction of Zones 1 - 6, I lived in south London. I remember the debate in the local press about Epsom. Those pressing for Epsom to be...

I seem to remember that Barry Doe explained in RAIL magazine that direct services between origin and destination attract a proportion of the revenue allocation unless they are overtaken, but that journeys which require a change do not normally attract any allocation if direct services are...

If returning on the same day as the outward journey, it's perfectly valid to excess one leg of an Off-Peak Day Return to an Off-Peak Return by a different route. This can be necessary where Day Return tickets are available on some but not all of the routes between two stations. For example, two...

Agreed. There would normally be no additional charge. The use of the words normally and generally in my posts is to allow for the possibility that a pattern of behaviour may draw an individual to the attention of revenue protection inspectors. But travelling from Z5 to Z6 via Z1 without any...

If the Zone 4-6 Travelcard is held on Oyster, and they hold a sufficient pay-as-you-go balance on the Oyster card to cover the price of a journey to or via Zone 1, then there would normally be no charge and generally no offence would have been committed because they would hold a valid ticket or...

A splash on the home page of https://wymetro.com/ shows "Industrial Action affecting Northern train services. Saturdays 10, 17 & 24 November, and 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29 December".

I don't see how rail replacement buses can play any role in the calculation of the shortest route between the origin and the destination printed on the ticket. The provision of a rail replacement bus for part of a journey does sometimes open up a journey opportunity which would not normally be...

I agree with ForTheLoveOf that the shortest route, defined in the paragraph "CALCULATING SHORTEST DISTANCES" on page 1 of the National Routeing Guide Instructions, is the shortest route wholly by rail. That is the only way that it is possible to calculate "the throughout distance for travel...

Good idea. But you can save an extra 15p by buying a Stourbridge Town to Stourbridge Junction Child Single (50p).

Yes. Edinburgh - Glasgow is valid via Larbert. The validity is derived from This allows, for example, Glasgow Group - (Lenzie) - (Larbert) - Falkirk Group - Edinburgh Group.

This appears to allow Glasgow Group - (Newton or avoiding Newton) - Motherwell Group - Coatbridge Central - Cumbernauld - Falkirk Group - Edinburgh.

Yes. All mapped Permitted Routes between Glasgow Group and Edinburgh Group are shown on map EG. These are: Glasgow Group - Springburn - Falkirk Group - Edinburgh Group Glasgow Group - (Lenzie) - Falkirk Group - Edinburgh Group Glasgow Group - Bellgrove - Springburn - Falkirk Group - Edinburgh...

Do you need to work on the same 3 days each week? A weekly season ticket can start on any day of the week. There would appear to be significant savings available if you can organise your work to attend on later days in week 1 and earlier days in week 2.

On arrival at Marylebone, will you walk to your workplace or need to use additional public transport?

No. The Conditions are different. The 16-25 Railcard has no minimum fare in July and August. The minimum fare applies to the 26-30 Railcard in every month. The 26-30 Railcard is available in digital form only. The 16-25 Railcard is available on paper card, plastic or digital.

It seems more likely that the same approach currently used for 16-25 Railcards will be adopted. I expect the 3-year 26-30 Railcard to be available until the day before one's 29th birthday.

It appears that the only Frist Class fare between Middlesbrough and either of the Wigan stations is the £10 Weekend First Class Upgrade MIDDLESBROUGH - WIGAN NORTH WEST Route TPE ONLY. http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=MBR&dest=WGN&rte=85&tkt=WET

Shouldn't this phrase read "you will only be entitled to delay compensation if you arrive at your destination Northern station at least 30 minutes later than your original booked arrival time"?

If the introduction of the Anytime Short Return had added a new ticket giving the opportunity to return at a later date, while retaining all existing tickets, that would have been welcome. But the inconsistent way in which the Anytime Short Return has been implemented has done no favours to the...

In the old format, credit card sized tickets say COBHAM & STOKE D.
