I guess the 'No' was intended to be a kind of 'Not applicable'. It's a meaningless question/criterion for Rovers/Rangers.

It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link. It would help if you provided the actual quote or a link.

All I can add is that last week I bought tickets from GWR.com and deliberately used a different card to collect than I had used to purchase. It worked despite the instructions saying it has to be the same card. The only difference I can see is that I collected from a GWR station. I have no...

Can you wxplain more about Taunton (I live there) ? Why is there this restriction ? Which platform ? The restriction is only for arrivals ?

Yes you can. What you experienced is common. More often than not from Fleet I get told that I need a Fleet to Surbiton ticket. You can actually buy them from the TVMs (at least the ones SWT) have, but they are filed as "Boundary Zone -" (that's from memory, others will correct it if I'm...

Does there need to be? If you've entered into a contract for travel in advance and complied with all conditions (e.g. bought the required card etc. with you to collect the ticket) then I can't see where the TOC has any case against you.

What conventional trains use the Nimes - Montpelier LGV ? I'm out there in Sept. so am interested.

It doesn't quite meet (at present) your speed differential but the Seikan Tunnel between Honshu and Hokkaido islands in Japan was built in 1988 and carries the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Hakodate which is standard gauge and freight trains which are narrow gauge. The services therefore share one...

They are from a free download from the SNCF website. https://www.sncf-reseau.com/sites/default/files/2019-04/MEP_POSTER_avril2019_POUR_LE_WEB.PDF

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Montpellier, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? The Intercité Aubrac from Béziers to Clermont-Ferrand looks good, but I'm not sure how best to...

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Cassis, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? We'll go along the coast towards Nice, but I'm not sure which sections are best. Many thanks.

In Sept I'll be spending a few days in Albi, France (see map). Does anyone have recommendations for rail trips to take, especially those with nice enough views to take the family as well ? Many thanks.

If my memory of history is right, the domestic use of HS1 was not part of the original design bases. The tunnel has underachieved significantly versus its original traffic forecasts (which I think was for something like three times as many passenger services per hour as has transpired) and so...

The info on this is a mess, but when you buy on the site it actually allows you to collect from any station 10 minutes after booking online. In fact, I have bought three Daysaves this year (one yesterday) and on each occasion I have collected from a non-Southern station (Taunton and Fleet)...

They weren't recognised by any barrier (I stopped even trying) and no staff (barrier or on-train) hesitated at all in accepting them.

Is that really true ? I had always thought exactly the same, but when I had a practical issues with trees falling/sliding own banks on my farm the academic literature seemed to suggest that vegetation (meaning over and above grass and flowers) actually increases the likelihood of 'lndslides'...

My thoughts entirely. My further thoughts:- It doesn't seem the same costs prevail elsewhere. It's easy to see things that probably contribute to the situation, but I can't see which of them really drives it and which are just 'pet peeves'. In all the studies of the railways from Serpell...

I used three Southern Daysavers last week. I also noticed this ambiguity but decided that the Zone 1-6 restriction was what was referred to on the website (Southern's) as part of the purchase process and so could be relied on contractually. In practice, I had no problems at all. As I...

I didn't know that. What's the basis for that 'rule'?

For what it's worth, Farringdon is my local station so I use it a lot although I don't often change there. I (at 66) travel with suitcase and dog very often. You can make your transfer without going through a gateline by either the route I and others gave above (Northbound Thameslink) or the...
