    In the meantime you could just pay what they are asking?

    Connecting services on Advance

    Ah yes I see what you mean. So look on BR fares to see who it's managed by.

    Connecting services on Advance

    So provided the Advance ticket is booked for travel on at least 1 non GTR Toc then that easement still applies. Great.

    Short faring issue - SWR Request for contact

    Is the season ticket a paper ticket or is it on a smart card?

    Appeal Railway Fine ?

    How do you respond to the fact then the inspector who obtained the data issued the penalty fare from Tamworth to Wolverhampton when there are no trains running directly between those two stations.

    [ I've just had a look on RTT and typed informed me for tomorrow but I can't see the additional trains.

    Special timetable for Open Golf.

    Is there any way to find the amended timetable with the additional trains running semi fast between Formby and Liverpool. Also the amended timetable for the Chester line. I'll be travelling between Formby and Chester. The Merseyrail website speaks of a 10 minute service at certain times of day...

    Appeal Railway Fine ?

    The OP did have a valid ticket. I would not say they have provided evidence that they could not present a valid ticket.

    Appeal Railway Fine ?

    Also the panel have provided enough evidence in their letter that your notice was not valid. They have accepted that you did not travel with West Midland Trains. I would also personally be making a formal complaint against the Appeals Body.

    Appeal Railway Fine ?

    I personally would not pay it. It has no legal basis regardless of the panels pathetic view. At this point I would complain to Transport Focus. It is evident from their letter though that you have provided a copy of that you may have put some points in there that may have served as a...

    TfW PAYG - North Wales

    Chester is the one station where I had 2 strangers tailgate me through the wide barrier and had a member of staff (I can hardly forget her pink hair) aggressively shout at me for their behaviour. When I ignored her she swore at me. It was so crowded with people queuing right across the...

    TfW PAYG - North Wales

    The problem with Chester is that the ques and crowding can become so excessive and in such a small area. Even when it is dangerously crowded I am yet to see the barriers open to allow free movement to prevent injury. I personally think the solution is to have more ticket barriers there with a...

    TfW PAYG - North Wales

    I've had to look at some of the fares where the current North Wales pay as you go is taking place. There are some single fares for which pay as you go is more expensive than an Anytime Day Single. Any new pay as you go scheme nowadays should have the ability for railcard discounts to be applied...

    Railcard renewal -- have I been short-changed?

    This is absolutely ridiculous as this is a problem I and others have had historically. It gets fixed and then it reoccurs. You need to phone the helpline. Suggest as a solution that you cut the new railcard in 2 pieces and email the photograph of it to them straight away. Whilst on the line the...

    Help! Fined for failure to collect physical ticket!

    This is an unfortunate case because the fact that none of these three appeals were successful does not take away from the fact that the Penalty Fare was not issued in accordance with the regulations. Could the original poster please send copies of what they submitted for each of the three...

    Help! Fined for failure to collect physical ticket!

    In which case the PF was unlawful as it was not issued in accordance with the Regulations. This is because you were not given the option of it being issued to Leyland (the cheapest option in terms of the Penalty Fare amount).
