    Newbie Questions

    Yes, it would, you may be better off with a monthly/yearly one on an oyster card if you're doing it every day for a month though :)

    LIVID! Just got a penalty fare!

    Over here, you have to either purchase the ticket before travel commences (most of the time), OR (if that can't be done)wait till the guard comes round on the train (or find them), or find someone at the destination/interchange station to purchase the ticket/extension, same with all tickets over...

    Virgin's Online Booking Engine

    I know this may not be of any help, but if you go to a ticket office, you can select the exact seat/coach you want :)

    South Eastern Advance Fares

    Ohh dear, I hope not, as they're the only reason I really use the the train for long distance travelling, otherwise it's just too expensive :(

    Bendy bus withdrawal from London

    But... other busses cut corners too, because they have a larger turning circle too!

    Delay Repay

    Complain to the station manager, on scene, or note dates + times down and email customer services later (as long as you have dates + times, plus trains taken and records of tickets bought, IE anytime day return yyy to xxx)

    Delay Repay

    Yup, speak to a staff member straight away and they'll open it up and get it out, or should, if not then complain!

    When is a window seat not a window seat?

    It appeared for me on eastcoast, when booking a virgin train, but not when booking other TOC's trains :/, thought it was a virgin thing!

    When is a window seat not a window seat?

    I agree it's stupid :P but still, at least having the "view" option is better than nothing!

    When is a window seat not a window seat?

    Virgin now has a "view" option, guaranteeing you get a view out of the window.On my last trip I got a rear facing table seat, next to a window, with a view and power socket just by chosing those options!

    Start return trip mid journey

    Only advance (not sure if it applies, almost certain it does though), and megatrain, otherwise it's (or should be) fine

    Virgin 1st Class Lounge

    I assume you would be able to, as it's valid on VT services. You'd have to ask though!

    Season Tickets and Splitting

    Oyster seasons do NOT need to be touched in and out... the touching in/out just opens barriers (if you look at signs) it says just pay as you go. If you have a ticket from the edge of the zone onwards then it's valid, as it's a season ticket. RPIs MUST assume you have a season ticket, unless...

    All Line Rovers

    Depending on the railcard, you can get a discount on first + standard class (disabled, HM-Forces and senior?), or just standard (16-25, though I think that it's a tad rude, as we pay the same price as the senior railcard!)

    Not able to buy returns on trains, only singles?

    Even so, it goes against the NRCoC, and TOCs can't remove rights, just add extra ones!

    Sorry... I got my stations muddled up the first time round, don't know that route very well :oops:

    Abbreviations

    1) I have no ticket, I can buy single to the next station, get off and buy a discounted ticket from the ticket office. 2) I have an invalid ticket, I have to buy a full price ticket for the entire journey, plus be out of pocket for the cost of the original, invalid ticket.
