That's what I've heard yes, but clearly something is being missed since in the mini snippet I've seen (unfortunately abroad ATM and can't watch) from the show showed someone using their uncles card which had no money on it and had racked up a debt of 2k. I do vaguely remember asking a similar in...

Given they have no powers of detention I'm under the impression they could say they're going for the police option but you can just walk off before the police came as long as you've given your name and address (unless the Police were literally right there)

I'm still not 100% clear on the date of birth situation, it seems some are saying you never need to give it and some say it depends on the specific policies of the company involved/type of offence suspected? (Apologies if I'm misunderstanding)

Tfl don't tend to offer out of court settlements. It's true you may have seen other cases on this forum but they won't have been Tfl.

People will be able to answer you as above, but it's unlikely to make a difference to the outcome. It seems an odd question to ask, is this coming from ChatGPT or similar? What people really need to be able to help you is more details of what you were doing, and we've seen it all before on here...

I regularly used tickets where I'm ending early/breaking jounrey. I've never ended up arguing with anyone, but most of the time the barriers don't accept the ticket (paper ticket) and show a code 125 or 126 so you do need to have a chat.

To be fair, UP slow was my usage it wasn't in the announcement. So from what I'm hearing there's no real recurring specific issue it's just something in the standard practice toolbox when things aren't going right?

Several times over the last few months (at least 5 times that I can count, all at off-peak times - peak seems fine, although presumably there are more) there have been signalling problems (or at least that's what the announcements say) on the UP slow into Waterloo. This has meant trains were...

No, the pink reader doesn't start or end a journey. It just informs the system you've avoided zone 1 for oyster fare calculation. Edit: Watersheds post indicates I may be wrong(!), however this isn't the intended use of them

Yup worked later thanks!

I'm currently getting an issue when using my phone (I'm out so can't check on my laptop) where it's not letting me add a two together Railcard despite having 2 adults.

A long time ago (10 years) when I travelled from Wandsworth Road to Romford via Overground/Jubilee/Greater Anglia line I got stopped for "acting suspiciously" at Romford and they scanned my oyster and that added to the problems since they thought it was suspicious that I last tapped into Zone 2...

ok fantastic that's really helpful thanks for all your help, I find all the routing stuff quite interesting so I will try and educate myself on it all!

Haywain. The reason given to me I'm sure correctly by jfollows was that the Earsfield to Fareham ticket was not valid via Eastleigh because in the routeing guide this route is only valid on routes PU and PD which doesn't include Eastleigh. My point is that if I look up Surbiton to Portsmouth...

Thanks all, I will look through the routing documentation when I get a chance. I think even if Kite159 is correct about most people not caring I will try and avoid going via Clapham as I don't think it's in the spirit of the ticket being sold. However I will probably continue going via Eastleigh...

Hi Timbo, Thanks a lot for your response. Apologies I have many questions(!) 1) How can I find out about routeing points/how do we know Clapham Junction is a valid routing point. I know jfollows linked a routing map but I'm not really sure how to use this without knowing to select for example...

Interesting, it seems absolutely bizarre to me that super off peak tickets from Clapham Junction to Fareham do seem to be valid via Eastleigh whereas going one stop down the line they don't. Then if you go further down the line to Surbiton and bought a super off-peak ticket there it seems to...

Thanks jfollows, but this is my point that the above you posted mentions neither via Basingstoke or Clapham Junction (though I admit my knowledge is lacking so let me know if I've missed anything) Edit: Clapham is mentioned, but that's just a timing issue not a routeing issue?

Hi, I semi regularly do this journey, however I'm a bit confused as to the validity of the super off-peak tickets sold (specifically the earlsfield to Fareham super off peak ticket - single or period return, not super off peak tickets in general on SWR). Generally the forum website ticket site...

Agree with Hadders, making use of the Victoria line will surely be the quickest route and the change at Victoria is better than that at Green Park. Though if you're at Hammersmiith D&P station and there's a long wait for the District line you have option of going via Green Park instead.
