Reading the interesting thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/nrcoc-5-2-defence.161632/, led me to wonder the effect of sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the NRCoT (and as this is off-topic, I have started a new thread for it. For simplicity, let us assume that these are single (not return)...

I have been sold a Northern Duo before, without asking for it. (And in that case, the additional restrictions on the ticket were not explained to me either)

I can get National Rail Enquiries to give a connection from Leeds to Newbury Racecourse via Kings Cross, Paddington, and Newbury (though it doesn't show it for the 1515 departure from Leeds, I guess because of the cross-london transfer)...

I think this was the opposite situation, and I'm also sure a 1st class ticket holder is entitled to use standard class accommodation.

Yeah, I was a bit hesitant to write punishing in the first place; I guess I meant more to provide some incentive to obey the ticketing rules, and the penalty fare is some negative reinforcement that a ticket should be purchased before travel. I guess I get a bit confused seeing threads where...

Reading various threads involving penalty fares here has raised on question here that I haven't seen discussed. What obligations on the passenger are created by a penalty fare scheme? As I see it, if possible to purchase a ticket before travel, then to do so is a requirement regardless of the...

Today at Bridlington, I was waiting for the 17.46 to Sheffield. Displays said it was expected 18.03. This service is formed from a service arriving from Hull (Or perhaps further, but in that direction). At about 17.42, there was an announcement apologising for the late service, and informing...

The off-peak is a return, and the cheaper anytime is restricted Grand Central only.

According to the FAQ on the page linked in the OP, "No break of journey is allowed." They are also only available online, according to the same page.

The restriction on arriving at the London Terminal in the morning peak period (04.29-10.00) doesn't matter here, as the train doesn't arrive until 10.14 into Paddington. (Off-peak tickets are valid on the 9.17 from Culham or the 9.30 from Didcot, travelling to Norwich.) I think as long as you...

So I just received a wonderfully-titled email from VTEC, "Your London Kings Cross trip just got glorious", about how, for example, "Our team will be there throughout your journey, ready and raring to help. You’ll find them at The Foodbar between Standard and First Class." (I wonder, if there's a...

Wouldn't that be a problem if it were a Compulsory Ticket Area, not a penalty fare station?

How does implementing this PF scheme really change things I wonder, given the existing requirement to purchase a ticket at the first opportunity. If wanting to pay by card, previously, if you passed a TVM/office and (say) tried to purchase at destination, you could be offered one Northern's...

Assuming it's an off-peak day return Waterloo-Egham, then it is indeed valid from 9.00 (from Waterloo). http://www.brfares.com/#faredetail?orig=WAT&dest=EGH&grpo=1072&tkt=CDR In general though, the off-peak time is defined for the ticket, so different tickets from Waterloo will have different...

What is the passenger's obligation if travelling between two unstaffed/un-TVMed stations, and not seeing a guard en-route? Are they obliged to make efforts to pay? Connected to this thread, if their payment method (cash) is not accepted (say a non-cash-accepting TVM), what further efforts must...
