Have to say after trying most of them over the last 3 years, I keep using the Agant one (iPhone). It's pretty solid, I can't think of any bugs, and it's reasonably useable. I too initially balked at the £4.99 which I only effectively need because the train companies cannot run to their own...

Ah yes, 23rd/Xmas eve, sorry meant last day of work before Christmas. For 'normal' I meant Advance fare. As a layman, I guess I thought Advance tickets were tickets bought in advance of day of travel. Thanks for putting me right. Thanks for the info, and thanks for the link to the ATOC...

Hello, today seems to be the first day I can purchase a ticket for travel from London to Glasgow on the 23rd of December. However, the tickets are no cheaper than normal. Can anyone say when any cheaper tickets will go on sale? Or will they ever? I don't ever seem to be able to find...

Did a brief search, I couldn't find an appropriate thread with quite these vagaries. Hoping the wisdom of the forum can suggest how I should go about claiming for a return journey which was done on different operators, both legs of which were delayed to varying degrees. Do I only need to...

Fair play, thanks I guess we were treating it as a bar of sorts. Makes sense to be shifted. Cheers

Just wondering if there is a general rule (safety I presume) regards standing in the shop having a chat/glass of wine when on longish journeys? Was 'moved on' last night on a delayed EUS-GLA service. Asked to return to our seats by the guard. No one else in the shop, but a bank holiday...

I empathise with you TomJ93, the tracking of my journeys is something I also try to avoid, so though I have a monthly oyster, I don't scan in/out if there are no barriers so all my journeys are not logged. The tfl money grab even extended to no longer printing record cards on monthly oyster...

Am on the 16:30 eus-gla , just now at berkhamsted. V little info from train staff who havent got info themselves. bit shambolic but that's bank hols I guess. Cheers for update. Wish I'd gone first class for delay repay now!

Am sure this'll get lost in the thread, but on the plan, is there a section that details how to update NR communication centres with valid timetable updates during disruption? If so, it doesn't appear to have been followed during these incidents as no information was available to passengers...

The thing that's more bizarre to me is when you're trying to disembark and there are passengers in the vestibule, who expect you to weave around them so you can get off. The whole process could be made simpler and quicker if the people blocking the exits stepped down onto the platform for a...

Yet NRE will charge a fee for apps using their data, punters pay (eg £4.99) for the app yet get nothing better than a stale paper timetable when FCC don't have the braincells to think "maybe if we updated the information a few hundred/thousand commuters would seek alternative routes rather than...

I was going to post about this last night, but figured if there wasn't already a thread maybe I was overreacting. Can understand breakdowns/technical difficulties happen so absolutely no problem with that. Though the abject failure of FCC to inform NRE and have the various sources of...

Thanks Mike, just feels like LUL are making things more fiddly for passengers to know what they've bought (sometimes I only get Z1-2, sometimes a week, sometimes a monthly), putting onus on passengers to register/check online, or periodically scan at a machine, when previously the ticket details...

[Apols if in wrong forum] I renewed my Oyster this morning at a machine, got a monthly Travel Card Z1-3. I was not issued with a printed Record Card, but up until May I think I got one everytime I got a monthly. I've used the paper Record Card on occasion at NR stations to prove the...

Thanks all, that's great news. Cheers, really appreciate the quick responses.

Think I've made a mistake on my return leg of an Off Peak Return, and will maybe need to buy another ticket... Got an Off-Peak Return from London to Glasgow. I've travelled up OK on the first leg, though the return ticket had a seat reservation Valid on the 1544 on 16th May from Glasgow -...

Thanks people, I guess that does make sense, all the little delays adding up. Seems more prevalent than in years gone by, but maybe I imagine it because I keep checking my iPhone for National Rail Times and can see the info as it happens. [Can understand station staff waiting for a few...

Morning, absolutely not a rant. I'm trying to understand a bit more as to why trains I get in the mornings are more often than not delayed by several minutes. Just so I can accept it a bit more, and not get annoyed unduly. I live in Harringay and get trains on the First Capital Connect...

Thanks for the link, couldn't find it when I looked (their website seems to be more like an 'intranet' that has somehow been released to the public)

Tried to find info on Virgin site, but no joy. Is anyone aware if the £15-20 Weekend First upgrade is available on 31st of Dec on Virgin Glasgow Central - Euston? I know 31st isn't a Weekend, but the normal weekday 'First Class' service has been withdrawn, so thought the Weekend First...
