Anyone any idea what the latest position is on refunding an anonymous OV Chipkaart? I have one that expires on 1st November and I read that up to EUR30 can be refunded if I take it to an NS/GVB/RTM etc office, and I am charged EUR1 for this service. Some questions: a. Can I do this after 1...

Without giving too much away, I am now eligible for ScR's Club 50 promotion. The terms and conditions of the £17 special return fare currently being offered appear to rule out BoJ, other than for interchange purposes. But since the tickets appear to be valid on any train (within time...

I've just noticed a range of VTEC SSH and SSU Single Leg Singles now being offered via their Website, apparently for one way purchase. I thought VT/VTEC only offered these tickets as part of a round trip purchase, ie. thus allowing SSH/SSU to be combined by an ADV fare? Have they changed the...

Can't find much out about this from other sources but presumably if I have Boundary Zone X to Oxford (but not Oxford Parkway), it's valid either on CH or GW on the basis that all direct trains to a station are permitted routes? Doesn't seem to any clues in the fares database on this....

So the IR Global Passes now permit one day's travel in the issuing country for each of outward and inward travel. Does anyone know whether this day has to be at the start/end of the pass's use, or is it possible to go back to the issuing country mid-trip(bearing in mind that some of the passes...

I want to go from Newbury - Bedwyn, then return from Pewsey to Newbury. Would a CDR from Newbury to Pewsey be valid even though there are no direct trains from Bedwayn to Pewsey, ie. it is not really practical to have a break of journey even though the station is on the same line of route? Or...

Just spent an entertaining half an hour reviewing fares to the new stations via Chiltern. As ever, got lost in a myriad of routing points, negative easements etc. etc.. To make a circular day journey, MYB, Bicester Town, Oxford Parkway, Bus to Oxford then PAD (or v.v.), is it best to get a CDR...

If I have a season ticket and a family and friends railcard as well, but travel with a child can I just buy one ticket, ie. for the child to travel at the F&F discount and I use my season. I am aware of the quirk on Gold Card Upgrades on this but haven't seen anything re F&F that's similar. In...

Anyone where there are any train graphs for the WCML slow lines out there, I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the overall pattern of service, ie. what weaves to the fast lines and how the semi-fasts, slows and freights interact on the slow line.

Alright, not strictly a rail issue but anyone got any thoughts on the quite common scenario I see of young people getting on TfL buses ahead of me, and the Oyster machine flashing up 'Freedom Pass'. This happens perhaps once every 30 to 50 times I board a bus. Now, it's possible that some are...

Anyone know if any of the Danish private railways still have any Lynette units running in regular timetabled service. I think that, now that the Odder branch has succumbed to new Desiro DMUs, it may be all over so please reassure me if my fears are misplaced! Anyone know different? (For...

Anyone out there know if there are any Class 444s left running to Havant/PMH? I heard that they are now only there SuO. And are there any 444s left on the route via Eastleigh or has that option succumbed as well?

OK, here's a confusing one. A friend has just been sold by NXEA a ticket to 'U23 London' with no Maltese Cross to get from Chelmsford to North Dulwich. Clearly U23 doesn't cover North Dulwich, but what's the signicance of the 'London' bit . Does this mean that the ticket is valid via...
