    Staff Brief on Strike Day Ticket Arrangments

    I've come across a staff brief from RDG on the ticketing arrangements for strike days, and customer rights to a refund where disruption occurs. There are a number of concerns: I'm surprised to see refund fees mentioned, which given the general advice for next week is 'do not travel', should...

    Removing Trains from Departure Boards to Manage Loadings

    West Midlands Trains Delay Repay

    Posting this here as probably more chance of someone seeing it and fixing it rather than going through customer services. I've submitted a delay repay claim with WMT following a recent journey. Completed the claim online and gave all requested information. So far so good. Within a few...

    West Midlands PlusBus

    Does anyone know if the above ticket is valid on the Midland Metro Tram? The PlusBus website says it is but a thread on here from 2018 suggests it isn't valid. I can't find any reference on the Wet Midlands Metro or TfWM websites. https://plusbus.info/birmingham...

    SWR Delay Repay

    Had a bizarre issue with a delay repay claim from Shanklin to Stevenage. Train from Shanklin was delayed causing an overall delay to my arrival time. Made a delay repay claim to SWR who have rejected the claim because the delay was caused by Island Line. They have kindly forwarded my claim to...

    I've noticed that GTR have introduced counted place reservations on Bedford/Cambridge/Bedford to Brighton/Horsham services. Interestingly on Sundays only one train an hour from the GN side runs into the core, the other fast services terminates at Kings Cross and reservations aren't available on...

    I’m travelling on the 09:56 GTR service from Welwyn Garden City to Stevenage. Purchased a ticket a few minutes prior to departure at WGC ticket office. The staff in the ticket office (both of them) were insistent that Gold Card discounted tickets are not valid for travel before 10:00, and...

    Incorrect Advice from CrossCountry

    I’m sure this is an oversight, but then again this is CrossCountry we’re talking about. The Coronavirus section on XC’s website states: https://www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/coronavirus Shocking advice from XC here. There is, of course, no requirement to purchase a new ticket if a previous...

    LNER Considering Requiring Passengers to Check-in Before Travel

    I have received a survey from LNER asking a number of questions about their app and using it to check-in before travel. It seems that they are considering asking passengers with their app to confirm they have boarded the train and are sat in their seat prior to departure. Passengers checking...

    Train Companies should be making Season Ticket refunds/changeovers easier

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/ticket-office-hours-restored.203045/ In all honesty completing a season ticket refund in person at a ticket office should not be considered essential at the moment. I realise that people will want season tickets refunded as...

    I was in Manchester earlier in the week for work and used contactless to pay for a couple of tram journeys. I want to claim the cost back from my employer. Does anyone know how I can get a journey statement? Seems there's no online facility in TfGM's website. The amount isn't huge but it's...

    Northern TVMs

    i passed through Worksop station and noticed a couple of TVMs on the platform. Unless I’m missing something how is a passenger supposed to know that these are ticket machines? There is absolutely no indication that they are where you are supposed to purchase tickets from. I’ve no idea if this...
