"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Walter Scott You may well be telling the truth but you will have a hard time proving it. Would your friend be prepared to supply a letter confirming your story certified in front of a notary or solicitor acting as a...

Right, for whatever reason the OP still seems to be a bit confused. To the OP, you are only being charged with one offence, let's say that again - only one offence. That offence is for the time you were actually caught using the Freedom Pass. The other offences, which you are not being charged...

Soon to be three as Appleby-in-Westmorland is to be re-designated as a "request stop area", but only if you are a landowner with exclusive solum rights up to 1¼ miles either side of the station.

In general there is a ten hour maximum (and 7½ hour minimum) turn length with ScotRail for operational train crew diagrams. However, this does not apply to the remote rural depots such as Kyle, Wick, & Mallaig (potentially others too such as Oban, Fort William, & Stranraer).

Glad you enjoyed Winchester. I stopped of there a few years back on a journey from Edinburgh to Portsmouth. As you've found out, the small Cross Country section was the most overcrowded.

^^^this^^^ I got caught out with parking at my last funeral, had to sneak in the back. At least I knew the hymns almost by heart. Better too early than too late.

Out of interest what date of birth did you supply to the inspector? No need to state it openly here, but did it make you sixteen or seventeen? Secondly, in what format was your ticket?

The worst that could happen is an excess to the cheapest appropriate fare - so there's no risk. Personally, I would travel earlier with your original tickets and explain the reason you're travelling earlier is due to the cancellation of one of your booked trains. No need to fork out additional...

I've already used it. I estimated another ten or so on the platform, there may have been more hiding in sheltered spots as the weather was foul.

Thanks for that, I'll pass that on.

My colleague recently lost an unregistered Oyster card. I informed him that that's just like losing cash, once it's gone it's gone. Am I correct in that assumption. If he could find the number of the card could the balance (about £15) be refunded? Could the card be blocked to stop another...

No, I would hope not. In any case keep a copy of those emails until this is resolved - as those are proof you have been engaging.

This would depend on circumstances. AFAIAA, those that have engaged with the process, but ultimately do not pay, will have their "debt" sold on to a collection agency, and it will be that agency that take further action. Those that do not engage with the process, may also be dealt with by a...

AFAIAA, Revenue Protection Officers for ScotRail can charge a £30 administration charge on top of any fare due. Could this be the "penalty fare" you mention?

Do these tickets still offer inclusive travel to Any Dutch Station, or has that ship sailed, so to speak?

Have you updated your details with the DVLA yet?

Well, that's something Lumo have definitely abstracted from LNER - the inappropriate use of the reflexive pronoun.

No, rest assured that this will not appear on your DBS, nor affect your credit score. At this stage this is merely a private concern between two parties. As no criminal proceedings have started there is nothing to place on your DBS. As there has been no judgement in the railways favour in...

Haymarket, on Avanti services. However, that is because the cycle carriage is not on the platform there.

Have you tried picking a late departure from Edinburgh, one late enough to ensure you can't get to London Euston that day, then picking Warrington/Crewe as a break point and add just enough time to ensure your train of choice the following day is returned.
