Actually was 78-8. Bit of a gulf developing now between those teams at the top, and those at the bottom, of the Championship, and there's been several blowout results already. London Broncos breezed past mid-table North Wales Crusaders 106-18 yesterday, with Jimmy Meadows scoring a club record...

You might need to explain that?!

@lillychester. Will inspection of your ticket purchasing history show any other instances of inappropriately discounted tickets being purchased (and used) since whenever it was that the old 26-30 railcard expired? This *may* end up increasing what you have to pay. A single, one-way, Anytime Day...

Surely these Off Peak tickets ("route Lumo STG only") are not valid if arriving London before 1000 Mon-Thurs, but afterwards or on Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays or Bank Holidays would be fine?

Thought we were talking about smaller statikns with five minute minimum connection times? Notwithstanding, which is arguably the busiest "smaller" station on the GB network with a 5 minute MCT, where that might still not be enough at certain times?

How much would a taxi be, for a twenty mile / half hour journey?

Just how heavy was the one in Sunderland, compared with, say, the Forth Rail Bridge which had been opened back in 1890?

Wasn't there a failed train somewhere near Stafford earlier today (think I heard this mentioned on the BBC 'Radio 5 Live' traffic news), if so, was that one of those already mentioned upthread?

Looks like the OP has travelled beyond the validity of their Advance Single ticket held (Ipswich -> Stratford). So, what details should have been shown on any PFN, and what amount(s) should the OP have actually been requested to pay, if not the £57.30?

That's a Frequently Asked Question. No. You cannot travel on discounted tickets until you have received your Railcard. You have to sign it anyway, which you can't do, if you haven't received it.

Originally opening as 'Knot Mill and Deansgate' back in July 1849.

AFAIK, Deansgate (railway station) has been officially referred to / named as 'Deansgate' ever since May 1971, hasn't it?

And Etruria has been (permanently) closed for a couple of decades now.

Nope. Just ignorance. Simply hadn't heard of the term before. Understanding context is important to avoiding misinterpretation.

No. That was one of the posts proving that they're still a thing. :)

Quite possibly. Think we've now, more-or-less, disproved that roadside "check points" are entirely only a thing of the past.

Believe the overnight stop, after Mr. Palin takes a cab ride on a HST up from Newcastle to Edinburgh via Berwick/ECML, was at one of the big railway hotels in the Central Edinburgh area, before he then continues up from Edinburgh Waverley to Inverness the following morning. The route mentioned...

So, what exactly was a "Poor rate"? Some welfare-related / poor relief levy Imposed on property owners by a local parish, ostensibly to pay for the cost of alleviating poverty in the area?

@SMRT Trains. How late today are you planning on departing? Anything later than 1440 from Newcastle is likely to be too late. Bear in mind that there'll be extended journey times today as there's RRBs operating between Tiverton Parkway and Plymouth.

Are you essentially shifting the cost and responsibility of the OP being stranded short of their intended destination back on to the passenger, even if there was no "Do not travel" warning in place at the time? (Different matter, perhaps, if there was?)
