As I have said it does not solve the issue of a train waiting at the last protecting signal south of Leyland waiting for a routing decision, where a platform alteration will always be short notice.

Looking at a track diagram of the area if a Down train is stopped at the last signal protecting the junction from either the Wigan or Warrington direction and the Signaller has to route the train away from its booked platform there is no way the alteration can be posted automatically on CIS...

P & D is fully colourlight with 3 barriered crossings. Britannia Crossing box controls the signalling and 2 of the crossings at Britannia and Kingswear, there is a crossing south of Paignton also used by and on Network Rail infrastructure to give access to Goodrington carriage sidings, this...

Presumably because although the ticket was Cheltenham - Sandwell and they were at New Street they had got off a NON PF train, their ticket not being for a journey starting at New Street, I would probably have questioned them under caution and compiled an MG11 in the circumstances.

I accept that PF regs have changed since I last issued one I will have to look up the rules re changing trains. That actually brings up the interesting point that if a PF can be issued when someone is changing trains does can a PF be issued if the train transferred from is a NON PF train...

I don't know if I am missing something here but image of the tickets / itinerary shown earlier does not show a journey starting at New Street the leg being Cheltenham-Sandwell therefore the PF was issued mid journey not prior to a leg starting.

29 used to be Victoria to Enfield and prior to that Victoria to Potters Bar / South Mimms mostly run in sections though there were some through journeys on the whole length of the route. Some Sunday routes in London also used to be quite lengthy combining different weekday routes.

When I was an RPI if we did a name and address check for a PF we would be informed if there had been any other instances of PFs being issued to the name and address, surely NEXUS or their address checking agency could put an alert flag on said address.

If the OP had the Railcard with them when their ticket was inspected then SWT will know when the Railcard expired, if they didn't have the Railcard with them then surely the original post from the OP would have said that they were caught travelling without a Railcard.

Yes, but not by the DFT

When I was a Duty Manager at Liverpool Street and we needed to book Hotels late at night it was always a struggle and usually involved ringing several Hotels before we found anywhere and that usually was for not much more than 10 people, I recall one night we ended up sending a taxi to Bristol...

Adwick is also the last station in South Yorkshire and initially at least the service was sponsored by the County.

If the OP hadn't travelled and had purchased a ticket to travel why was their ticket examined by another employee when leaving the same station they were initially questioned at? see message 7 Also if if the OP actually did leave the station that they were questioned and had to show a ticket to...

Zimbabwe - Zambia both on steam hauled specials and Normal service train over the Victoria Falls bridge.

Agreed I was trained at King's Cross in the late 70's and we were certainly trained thoroughly in ticketing regulations although to be fair the ticketing system was a lot less complicated then, I last issued an Excess in 2007 at Liverpool Street and we were certainly well trained there then.

No I am not but I know I was properly trained as were those I trained, with a printed manual it was also easier to look things up if you weren't sure.

When I was a travel centre clerk, Aptis/Sportis Instructor, Ticket Examiner, Booking Clerks and Guards Instructor and later as an RPI, Excess fare regulations were an important part of the training and knowledge base including how to issue them both on Excess Books and on Aptis/Sportis and later...

Chris Hughes, of Mastermind and Eggheads fame has died aged 77, When I was a Guards Instructor at Ilford RTC, he joined BR as a Guard and then became a Driver, really nice bloke and although we were a little apprehensive about training him he was no problem at all.

There appears to possibly be a very good reason for this short notice change at Cambridge, there are no services between Kings Lynn and Ely, the 1638 should have come from KLN but instead started at CBG formed from at train that terminated at CBG that should have gone to KLN, this train is shown...
