    Megatrain ticket accepted on LNER in disruption?

    I have a Megatrain ticket today from Sheffield. EMT website is showing general ticket acceptance via Doncaster, but Megatrain is not mentioned. Any problems using a Megatrain ticket on LNER? And which TOC of TPE/Northern/XC to Doncaster would be least likely to question the ticket? Thanks

    A good service operates on all lines

    "A good service operates on all lines" is often heard on the London Underground. For me this seems to be an incorrect use of the "present simple" tense, which is concerning when so many learners of English are in London. Agree?!

    Rail vouchers on ebay - legit or not?

    There are rail vouchers for sale on ebay. More precisely the sellers seem to be selling the actual accounts that have the rail vouchers in them. They have a discount off the face value of the vouchers. Smells a bit fishy but on the other hand I like a discount if there is no risk (eg paying...

    What time do XC release tickets on the day?

    I understand XC advances stop being available at midnight before the day of travel. But at some point in the morning, they release same-day advances. What time do they do that? And are they ever cheaper than the ones the previous day?

    Plusbus ticket on a ranger/rover (Northern)

    This has been asked before but not sure if things have changed If I have a £10 Northern day ranger, am I right in thinking I can only get a Plusbus for the origin but not for the destination (because it is not specified on the ranger?). Thanks

    Wrong departure station on Northern's amazing £10 newspaper offer

    Northern £10 newspaper offer. It is quite a faff to log in, input your details, download a pdf and then print it, especially if you don't have a printer at home. So I plan to print a few in advance based on where I think I might be on a particular day. Has anyone managed to buy the ticket from...

    Hinckley to Sheffield - non reservable section?

    I want to buy a CrossCountry advance from Hinckley via Birmingham to Sheffield. Am I right in thinking the Hinckley to Birmingham section is non reservable and therefore I can travel on any train as long as I respect the Birmingham to Sheffield reservation?

    Frankfurt to Hanau day ticket and zonal validity

    I bought a Frankfurt to Hanau day ticket thinking it would give me the right to travel in a wide area - east as far as Hanau but also west to a similar distance. Apparently not, the guard said it was not even valid to the airport (which is kind of within the Frankfurt fare zone). Can anyone...

    Inspectors unbothered by lack of ticket on TFL Rail Heathrow service

    Today I was on the TFL Rail Heathrow service and there were two plain clothes people with Oyster readers and an Ipad-type device. They were checking tickets but one guy hadn't got one, and they didn't do anything. They said they couldn't sell a ticket, and also didn't take any details. What's...
