Thanks all. I've pointed him in the right direction...

That would seem the obvious path but (from the very brief look at him clicking on the Trainline app), you click on 'my train has been cancelled' and it just tells you to go back to the operator and won't let you go any further.

My son has been caught up with all of the industrial action on Hull Trains yesterday. For 'reasons', he had bought two different tickets - a single ticket on the 1348 from Kings Cross to Selby, and also a Return ticket that was coming out on the 1548 Kings Cross to Selby and going back tomorrow...

In the circumstances, I'd just keep quiet and hope it all goes away. I suspect they don't do much retrospective auditing of refunds, so that probably won't catch up with you, but I also would keep quiet about any complaint you may have and let sleeping dogs lie. The overall outcome is...

My advice, and bear in mind that I am not one of the experts in this, is that the most urgent thing you need to communicate to them is that you haven't seen the summons before and the reasons behind that. I think you need to move that bit much higher up the letter, otherwise there is a danger...

Stretching it a bit, but this is in Lewisham..... Here...

Some of that will come down to Rolling Stock though. A lot of the charm is in sitting in an old carriage and being transported back to just how comfy it was. Run an NYMR set with a 'dark green diesel with a nose' and the same non-enthusiasts who enjoy a steam train ride will probably be quite...

Nice result !!

Sorry that this contains nothing helpful, but there are a couple of lessons to be learnt here: 1) Don't short fare 2) Don't respond to these sort of e-mails if you haven't been caught doing anything. 3) Most importantly, never, ever, ever respond to something that you think is a scam, even if...

I must admit, I was very sceptical that this would end up as anything other than scrap (though I was never a keyboard warrior about it) so I'm very glad to have been proven wrong. This looks absolutely fantastic - well done to all !!

As a first bit of advice, I wouldn't try telling them that you both have identical wallets, containing extremely worn cards on which you can't read the name or see the photo. I suspect it will not help your defence...

Personally, I doubt they'll cross check ID against the tickets. They don't at most music events - Its only the threat of it maybe possibly happening that deters people, and then throw in a couple of high profile gigs turning people away. HOWEVER - Almost everyone posting on, say, the Greatest...

Thanks. I'm actually on the 1405 Aer Lingus to JFK, but the same comments apply. The 1123 just feels a bit 'tight' to me, in that it doesn't need much to go wrong on a Sunday for things to start falling apart..

I think that's what I'll end up doing. Seems crazy though that its actually quite hard to get there for 1100 on a Sunday. Ideally I'd have gone from Selby, but that's even worse !! Normally I would, but I've got a gig to go to in York on Saturday night, that I've been waiting about 30 years...

I have to get a Transatlantic flight from Manchester Airport at 1405 this Sunday, which sounds nice and relaxed, but actually it seems fairly tricky getting there from York for 1100-ish with any sort of safety margin. In fact, the earliest arrival that I can get on Trainline is 1123, which is...

Are any of your runs recorded on Strava ? That would be pretty solid...

Does he have an Android phone, as the Google Maps app always has a surprising amount of location data on its Timeline function (which is usually on by default). The debt collection agency is just trying it on, though, as he comes up as a likely candidate in the area. The DOB thing could be...

Thanks. This isn't my expertise, and there will be far more knowledgeable people along with a better answer. However, sometimes perfectly innocent things 'smell fishy' (and, equally, sometimes things that 'smell fishy' turn out to be fishy). Unfortunately this probably does smell fishy to...

It looks like you are missing at least one part of the conversation - the first one where you explain to them what happened. In corresponding, it is probably best to keep everything simple. Just bullet-point the facts - They won't care about overshadowing your birthday. Generally speaking...

My first thought was that starting a letter with 'Top of the day to you' is ridiculous, but did get me wondering (Bearing in mind that I am no expert at all, it won't be me paying the money, and others will probably know much more).... Does a well written letter usually get any better outcome...
