    I put in a return to see what happened. Nothing on Trainline (I need to use this for business) but Scotrail has it as Smartcard only. Not sure how Trainsplit can do that if it needs me to have a Smartcard??

    I need to be more detailed in my questions! I thought that this was the mk5 discussion thread and that it would have been obvious my question was how many "Mk5" sleeper coaches are in the UK

    Split Ticket and delay Repay query

    i have now raised with Transport Focus their latest response on a Chat was ======================================== Compensation is calculated differently when you have split tickets.

    how long for a delay repay-Virgin West Coast

    what is the maximum time for a delay repay. I had one on the 21st Nov and got paid in a week. However a claim on the 29th is still outstanding. Just wondered if there is a maximum time before I should complain. I did a follow up email after 30 days but no response.
