Sorry its probably some other reason but what date are you trying to book for and have you tried other dates? It could be that advances have sold out already or that it's expected to be busy that night so no quota has been released?

These were temporary fares as lner are the fare setter for this flow they aren't allowed to set permanent dedicated fares.

Since when did I say you caused me any upset? I was merely disagreeing.

Of course the real big win would be if TPE just accepted they'd lost and lowered the 'any permitted' fares. Though I believe except Cardiff to Swansea many years ago this never happens, they instead hope their competitor will delete fares and things can go back to being expensive again...

I appear to have unintentionally caused some controversy here, but why give up the habit of a lifetime? I do not as @DarloRich suggests intend that everything is arranged solely for me or people like me. But I would like things to be justified in objective terms. If it was a case (and yes...

I meant there never had been a problem. Not to my observation. They've started this in the past few days.

It's classical. Your first observation however doesn't stand up to scrutiny as I've not seen any loitering at Thirsk and aren't there byelaws to deal with that?

I notice with utter despair that some idiot at tpe has thought it appropriate to play piped music at Thirsk Station. Does anyone else have experience of this addition to noise pollution? As an autistic person I'm at a loss. Its making somewhere I feel at home a stressful place to be. There's...

Ah I stand corrected. But I believe full fare usually refers to an undiscounted SDS/SOS for these purposes (unless I'm wrong on this too). I probably meant appropriate as opposed to full fare. That said the TOCs are guilty of this too. TPE once in correspondence described a rover as a...

It's twice the full single fare, the £8 you quote on the train line (or indeed any other ticket site, booking office or ticket machine) is an off peak ticket, which counts as a discounted rather than full fare.

Definitely worth writing to tpe. They've actually left me without arranging transport before and actively told me just to claim back, contrary to what the NRCoT says. They do from anecdotal experience however have a good track record of reimbursing passengers for the expenses they shouldn't...

Just booked Leeds to Nottingham and back for 20p. Quite chuffed, the whole trip will cost just over a tenner (extra cost of weekly season to CHF compared to my usual day return combination for commute - makes sense if doing an extra day, plus a CHF to LDS SDR, plus 20p). Incidentally I've cost...

Ah, the pips. Yes there's a significant encoding and also a small decoding delay on DAB, will be rather sad if they're canned after any digital switchover though. I do have to despair at the recent trend for 'crashing the pips', i.e. mixing them in with music or speech, which has become the...

One could argue this should be the case, however it should only be within the rule of law, so would have to be a thing going forward. We should not however go as far as the DPRK, which famously executed Park Nam-Gi for 'Damaging the Peoples' Economy' following a badly implemented currency...

So the question is after the negative balance went positive did you have enough for your fare? I'm having a little difficulty following your argument. If you didn't have sufficient credit I suspect the penalty fare was correctly charged but I'm no oyster expert.

Increased subsidy on one hand. On the other hand a more efficient industry structure and more joined up thinking would also help. Why can't we have both like most of the rest of Europe?

Is that at York @Solent&Wessex? I seem to think I see it regularly on my way back from work. Edit: duh Somebody already mentioned it is!

Hi. The stairs took a while to arrive so only got into the airport building at 2050ish. Yes its the night train.. I decided to buy a flexpreis ticket from the TVM at the s bahn station. One slight disadvantage is it appears its only valid after midnight but for about €46 with the bahn card im...

Tbh I don't mind getting the night train. I notice there's also an 0230 one which looks less bad in terms of journey time and only arrives about 20 minutes later. Given the lack of Zugverbindung on local trains I'm guessing we're I to get this I would only have to buy a ticket from Duisburg...

OK thanks. So I can get regional trains with my supersparpreis ticket as per the itinerary above? I might be a cheapskate and do this. And yes I'm travelling today. Thanks for all your help so far.
