    Odd timetabling goings on on the Bentham line.

    The difference I notice is that on a weekday it crosses over to terminate on platform 3 (2S64 from Bradford subsequently terminates in 2), whereas on the Saturday it terminates in platform 2 (2S64 booked to use platform 3, although last Saturday ended up using 1). Perhaps 2 minutes allowed for that?

    Penrith railway station cis

    So do TPE trains all run in the same direction (ie First Class always South on Avanti) or is it reliant on knowing the direction of each train?

    RailAir Codes when using National Rail website?

    "Heathrow Bus", LHR, 5564 is the destination. For whatever reason National Rail site isn't coming up with fares info.

    I've already explained why in post #22.

    Railcard Advertising. (is it legal?)

    The asterisk refers a strip of text at the bottom of the poster that mentions t+c's, minimum fares, time restrictions, eligibility criteria etc. However as you can see in the photo, the poster is not correctly positioned in the poster case which is why you can't see it in this example.

    Off peak tickets where there are no full price trains

    Indeed but the series of quotes I laid out in my post I hoped better painted a picture (perhaps too subtly) of the conversational flow of Arnside to Penrith, hence the surprise of the OP at the claim there was a BoJ restriction when there isn't.

    Taunton - Southampton Central bike reservations

    The reservations are open. Taunton to Westbury is fine, its just you can't book a bike on Westbury to Southampton. I'm not familiar with the local practice/units but having checked other dates it appears you can't ever book a bike on these services so I'm guessing walk up only. For completeness...

    Trainline showing only first class fares

    Yeah definitely a Trainline issue with that fare, I did also check Carlisle-Burneside, and Dalston-Kendal which are the same fare as a possible workaround but they have same issue as well.

    Isle of Man SailRail Railcard Validity

    Not sure with SailRail, that would be something to check when making the reservation, but normal foot passengers don't need to check in if travelling with hand luggage. https://www.steam-packet.com/customer-services/check-in-and-boarding Didn't sample the catering when I went over on Manxman...

    Train delayed to enable customer connections

    That and if a 1Sxx or 9Sxx is anywhere in the vicinity then the 2Cxx is not getting put out in front of it anyway.

    How many railcards could I have?

    You could become a member of the Friends of Settle Carlisle Line which would then allow you to purchase a Dales Railcard (without the normal residency requirements).

    Rose Hill and Marple ticket inter availability?

    OK, but I can only report that Fujitsu Journey Planner will sell a ticket specifically to NMC with an itinerary via NMN and vice versa. Perhaps an incorrect implementation. What the internet will do, or what the routeing guide says should happen I don't know.

    Rose Hill and Marple ticket inter availability?

    As @plugwash says the stations are linked via a walk, so if you put in a Manchester to New Mills Central journey via New Mills Newtown into a journey planner (at least in a ticket office) it will show a New Mills Central ticket valid and vice versa for the other way round. Like how Burnley...

    Northern printed timetables

    My understanding is that the Coasts, Lakes, Dales, and Fells booklet was produced out of a regional pot of money (I recall Chris Jackson when he was regional director signing off on it) rather than a central marketing/publicity budget. The back cover also says in partnership with Community Rail...
