Yup. Accepting a fictionalised King's Cross is rather less of a stretch of the imagination than a magical boarding school in a castle with moving stairs and ghosts :)

Coventry has a discount for the car park if you have a rail season ticket.

I believe Rowling admitted in an interview that she was imagining the wrong station (Paddington, by memory, but could have been Euston) the whole time when writing that scene. Still, it's a work of fiction, and if the location of a station platform is the biggest challenge to your suspension of...

It's a trek to walk to Pool Meadow. But the mini bus station outside the rail station is fairly well served.

This is all very frustrating :( I'm going to run with maniacmartin's interpretation, and buy the ticket from Nuneaton in the future. It costs a little more, but nowhere near as much more as it would if I had to buy a ticket from Euston to Macclesfield. (And it's categorically valid on the way...

For the record, that's because a Rugby-Macclesfield off peak return (valid any time after 4.15am) is cheaper than a Nuneaton-Macclesfield anytime return. The Nuneaton-Macclesfield off peak return is only valid after 9am, so I can't use that.

Indeed. Especially as they only added "via Nuneaton" as a valid route for Coventry-Euston within the last year, so a few staff still think that one's not valid. Amy

But would it be met if I bought a Nuneaton-Macclesfield return? Amy

Well, the season is also valid via Nuneaton, so that's a third possibility for "The last station it is valid" I guess. Here's a diagram. Green lines are some valid routes from Euston to Berkswell for my season ticket. For this journey, I usually buy Rugby-Macclesfield (blue). I could buy...

It did (although they did not charge me extra, so I don't need recourse for previous journeys). However I'm worried going forward, since I plan to keep doing this journey. The new clause 14.2 states What does "The last station at which one ticket is valid" mean? Does it mean on this...

I would consider getting a Nuneaton-Macclesfield anytime return instead (it's about £5 more). Then on the return journey I could use the argument that the train stops at Nuneaton, so it's nothing to do with 19(c). So far I've only ever been hassled on the return journey… --- old post above ---...

In this thread, I wrote about travelling Euston-Macclesfield with a Euston-Berkswell season plus a Rugby-Macclesfield return. Virgin have now given me an official reply to my complaint, and I do not believe their reply to be correct: The tickets I was trying to use: Season ticket...

Oh goodness, sorry, that's my fault! I'll try and get an update done this weekend! (For some background, I used to work for Agant, and now I still do some work on it from time to time to help keep the app alive. But I've been rather busy… No excuse I suppose!)

That was how I phrased my complaint. I stated why my tickets are valid, then stated what the train manager had said to me, then asked them to ensure their staff were better trained in ticket validity, and also asked them for a letter stating that my specific combination was valid, in case it...

I've sent in a complaint via Virgin's website, so we'll see what happens. I pointed out that I'm not after compensation (since I was allowed to travel), but I'd like their staff to be appropriately trained, and I also asked for them to send me a letter confirming that my combination of tickets...

I'd love that. I often get the 22:30 (and sometimes the 23:30) from Euston to Coventry, and it's very frustrating when we sit at Milton Keynes or Rugby without moving for 20 minutes. Amy

I should do. Each time this happens it makes me feel like I'm trying to 'get away with' something, when really what I'm doing should be legitimate! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It was a different TM this time to last time I had trouble.

Issues again today. He clipped my ticket but told me it wasn't valid, and that he'd let me off today but I should think more carefully next time. "Do we stop at Rugby? Answer me that?" <I attempt to explain 19C splits, he cuts me off> "40 years I've been doing this. 40 years it's been the...

In first, I actually find them more comfortable than GWT HSTs! (For some reason I don't get on with the shape/size of the seats on the HSTs. It may be a familiarity thing I guess, since I commute on the WCML.) My only real problem with voyagers is they're often too short for the service...

I would use it late at night if it opened! I fairly frequently get the last train to Coventry, and often have a wait. But because I know I'll be turfed out of the lounge, I usually don't bother going there…
