    Contactless expansion Pink validators

    The options that single fare finder shows are the only options there are; you won't be charged something else, no matter what you do between entry and exit. (ignoring complications around exceeding maximum journey times, or getting capped for multiple journeys on the same day/week, etc etc)

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    It wouldn't be that much different, no. It would however be more than zero different, because it's not part of the current functionality of the back office software...

    Etickets - what is the benefit?

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    What you have described is of course in principle possible, but it's not part of the existing functionality of the TfL contactless back office.

    Contactless -- apparently overcharged for being delayed

    For the last seven days, yes. Here: https://contactless.tfl.gov.uk/HomePage/7DayHistory The card history is saved for 13 months behind the scenes and will magically appear when a card is registered

    Should a staffed gateline always let an arriving passenger leave? [Paddington]

    This thread needs a picture! Here's one, taken from https://assets.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/7MPHvJyyOziqAeWv1lbVX9/1aee9643ae497c2bc6bc55d2e7c56842/CCS0723844574-001_London_Paddington_map_2023v5.pdf and annotated by me: So you arrived at the ❌ and were told to "take a longer walk to...

    Contactless Reading to London

    As of right now, Gatwick Airport to Reading is indeed the most expensive. Watch this space, though...

    Contactless Reading to London

    As has already been noted, this isn't by any means the most expensive single fare in the TfL contactless system. And as a point of interest, this system was never subject to the contactless limit on retail transactions, since it uses a different model (google "transit transaction model)...

    New-style Paper Tickets

    Sorry, I have to ask "what?!" Look at IMG 550 in the first post. OP says each piece of paper is as wide as a CC is long, so clearly those Aztec codes on the right would fit on a piece of paper the size of a CC. With room for text even.

    TOCs requesting fulfilment method changes from Trainline

    So, when the email for journey two says "You're all ready to go", it actually means "...in the sense that you're not actually all ready to go, you MUST take another action before you can go" ?

    GWR Peak Bath Spa > LDN Paddington Fares Sky Rocket..

    Depending on your work/life requirements, there's might be the option of taking an hour longer (each way mind) and using Waterloo instead of Paddington. Will be much cheaper, I'd wager.

    Multiple ticket checks on the same train

    Hang on, I thought that the idea of ticketless travel surveys relies on the survey-taker being able to tell survey respondents that you aren't enforcement, just gathering information?

    Do Cross Country refund the difference when changing advance tickets?

    I always use CC to book advances where I know I will make the journey, but the dates and times often change. I can tell you you do NOT get the difference back when you make a change to your booking and the new ticket is cheaper than the old one. When the new ticket is more expensive, you pay...

    What does "closed for bookings" mean?

    I note the TOCs either side of southern (se, SWR) have no such caveats. Are there really potentially going to be just-affecting-Southern eng works that aren't yet decided, on just that handful of dates?

    Purchasing e-tickets and distributing them for a large group

    For low-key PDF manipulation such as splitting by page, I find PDFSam Basic (free, open-source) to be ideal

    Passenger-unfriendly downsides of e-tickets?

    Quite so. See also, words to the effect of "GBR will sort all this out".

    TFL recoup £1.3m despite spending £22m on fare dodging. A discussion.

    I suppose you also regard fire stations that go an entire shift without a call-out as "wage resources wasted" ?
