    Does Northern Use Dynamic Pricing for Advances?

    I fell for this with Northern by booking an advanced ticket a couple of months in advance. Even on the day of travel the price had gone right down so I am never booking too far ahead with them again.

    TfW - Unable to collect ticket before travel

    I know you can collect tickets using a collection reference number at all Merseyrail booking offices now. It was also possible at the ticket machines at their unmanned stations such as Bache. Have the extended this now to all their stations that have a ticket machine, including those with a...

    Disruption en-route to Isle of Wight

    At the very least then I would pursue Southwestern Railway for delay repay for the delay to your journey.

    Manchester Airport advance

    Will they only endorse your ticket for a later service if the flight is delayed? So will they still let you travel on the later service if the fight is on time but it takes longer than an hour to get between landing on the runway and the train station?

    Royal Mail not enough postage on item

    That's exactly what I did actually. I used some tape to stick them down inside the card I was sending. So there is no way they could bunch up. However I think it was very borderline if the item was the thickness of a letter or a large letter. I can only hope that, assuming it was a large...

    Fined by GWR at Paddington, not sure if its worth appealing

    This is going to some really strange but look at the response from the first appeal. The letter does not actually expressly state that the first appeal has not been successful or given any reason as to why.

    Royal Mail not enough postage on item

    I am positive they are both less then 100g. It's just the thickness that could be the issue. But that's reassuring they'll treat it as second class without any surcharge.

    Royal Mail not enough postage on item

    On Friday I posted 2 letters from Liverpool, one to Blackpool and the other to Doncaster. I attached a regular first class stamp. On reflection, due to a small enclosure, I think this may have been a large letter. Given I attached a first class stamp with a value of £1.80 will Royal Mail by...

    Incomplete trip

    Will the system let you complete the journey with the missing touch in? The other option is that you call the TfL helpline and explain you purchased a paper ticket for the journey and see if they will refund the additional charge on this occasion.

    Incomplete trip

    Is anything actually showing on your TfL account? Your touch out failed so it makes me wonder.

    Additional travel costs: who is responsible?

    And if they didn't (the Ombudsman) the OP can still issue a Before claim to Northern before any small claim. Often the latter gets a company to pay up.

    Additional travel costs: who is responsible?

    This is absolutely disgusting that a train station like Manchester Victoria that is fully staffed they were not arranging taxis.

    Caught By Tfl

    If no details were taken and it was definitely a bank card that you tapped on his device then I think that will be the end of the matter. You are lucky you were not using an Oyster card as the inspector would have been able to tell that you had not tapped in. Most likely they did not see...

    Using Tesco Clubcard Points to buy train tickets via Virgin Red

    Thank you for confirming. It therefore looks like I am in fact better using the clubcard points towards a one year Railcard. There is no other reward partner I routinely buy from. As it's a disabled persons Railcard one year is £20 and 3 years is £54.

    Using Tesco Clubcard Points to buy train tickets via Virgin Red

    I am a great believer in getting maximum value from Tesco Clubcard points. So that means never spending them in store at face value and always doubling them up to a rewards partner I would be making a purchase from anyway. I have been using my points to purchase a Railcard the past few years...

    Vauxhall to Waterloo Investigation

    You have come to a train forum where people give up their free time to offer their expertise to help people and receive nothing in return.

    Couple allowed to remain in first class with standard class tickets - should I complain?

    I'd speak to either a steward or the TM about the vaping. The TM is allowed to give people permission to remain in first. Could it have been conflict avoidance?
