An off-peak return from York to Middlesbrough saves a few pounds.
A super off-peak single from Leeds to kings cross is valid via York with break of journey permitted you see.
Forgetting, for the moment, the cackhanded time restrictions on the all line rover the reason that I haven't had one for aeons is the lack of a printed timetable.
I have to admit that it also prevents proper examination of viable itineraries for my more regular journeys too.
Of course, back in the day, I'd get, initially, the separate regions timetables and, latterly, the national one.
Once the most relevant tables had been identified it was not difficult to memorise times, stops and catering facilities. I even had names for the latter, 'cups of tea' and 'griddle'...
You know, this is a darn good read, I thank you for that but I don't thank you for awakening the urge to do mucho exploring around my old haunts. My legs won't thank you!
but my mind will
Bucking the trend I feel that it's time to expound on my experiences over the past couple of years.
August 2021
Euston to Glasgow (7 of us) 1st advance.
Booked when half the seats were blocked due to the great unmentionable.
Before travel I noticed that all seats became reservable and used...
Sorry to drag a thread up from the depths but may I ask how does one submit a delay repay claim to LNER when the journey involved a combination of paper and e tickets as I was caught up in todays horrors near York?
The website only allows the upload of one image per claim you see.
Thanks in advance
I am but a simple passenger, sorry, customer. If it turns out that only half of current services end up in some sort of emergency timetable but they are pretty much guaranteed to run then that'll do for me; anything that gives more certainty and fewer sleepless nights please.
Showing my age, it was a VC10 that I flew in (XV109 Arthur Scarf VC) in the mid 70s mostly standing in the flight deck during repeated touch and goes at Brize Norton on a sortie from Lyneham.
Happy days.
Without wishing to preempt any reply one reason that it is a lot safer in the event of mishap.
It used to be the case (not sure that it still is) that RAF transport aircraft had all their passenger seats facing backwards for that reason.
