I noticed both wide gates were left open all day. They were manned, but presumably many people (like myself) were allowed through without tickets. Seemed odd that the gate staff were not equipped with ticket selling equipment - what would they do if you arrived without a ticket? When I arrived...

Just done a bit of reading on this. That certainly seems to be the case. New system supports any Android phone or tablet, plus a variety of different bluetooth credit card readers and printers. It can print onto credit card sized or till receipt stock, as required by the TOC. Actually...

I attempted to buy a Waterbeach to London Terminals ticket at Cambridge North today. The ticket machines don't offer a "tickets from another station" option. The lady at the gateline, as helpful as she tried to be, didn't quite understand why I wanted to do this (needed to return somewhere...

I noticed a section of Milton Road (north of the science park entrance) was being resurfaced overnight this week. Apparently there are some new layouts/markings related to accessing the new station by road from the north. This work should be completed tonight.

Presumably to stop season ticket holders requesting ticket changes. Also, some online sellers don't have the station available yet.

Indeed. A service I have availed myself of when my card was due to be replaced when I was due to be away from home for a period of time. Very useful service and they'll even print cheque books in store on request.

Some banks will allow a new card to be sent to a nominated branch, with collection available on production of ID.

They are not part of National Rail (have their own Conditions of Carriage, for example).

Heathrow T123 is available as a ToD station on National Rail Enquiries. Have they upgraded their equipment from the old LUL style machines?

I collected four tickets and bought an off-peak return from one of the new machines at Waterbeach a few weeks ago. So far I've used both portions of the off peak and three of the others from putside GTR land. None of the magnetic strips have been encoded! All return error 07 or 09, depending...

It looks as though the ticket is issued to London Bridge, rather than London Terminals.

In the case of Hovertravel, a train ticket is always cheaper if you have a railcard (£17.55 anytime return, £13.15 anytime day return, £13.00 off peak day return and £12.70 super off peak day return) vs £21.00 for just a hovercraft day return. Last time I enquired, the train ticket even...

According to National Rail Enquiries, the only valid London Terminal on this ticket would be Liverpool Street. What the OP needed was actually a ticket from "ZONE U123* LONDN" to Harlow Mill. This would allow a single tube journey in zones 1-3 (i.e. Euston to Tottenham Hale). Note this ticket...

There are several places in and around Cambridge where new stations could be built: Addenbrooke's Hospital (Cambridge South)Fulbourne or Cherry Hinton (could serve as a Park & Ride)Hinxton or Ickleton The latter is of close interest to me, since I work in Hinxton. This small village has a...

You can also buy the £9.70 ticket online direct from Wightlink.

Looking at Waterbeach [WBC] to Peterborough [PBO] with a railcard. Any Permitted Anytime Day Return £11.10 (set by EMT) Via Ely Anytime Day Return £13.05 (set by AGA) Waterbeach is a member of Cambridge and Ely routeing groups, so the cheaper any permitted fare would surely be valid via...

I need to go from Cambridge or Waterbeach to Stansted Airport on a Wednesday about 7am. Returning Saturday from Gatwick Airport to either Cambridge or Waterbeach at 5pm. I have a YP railcard. The cheapest I can find is quite simple: Undiscounted Cambridge to Stansted Airport Anytime Single...

Update: I emailed into AGA with a scan of the tickets, today I received a £12.00 cheque in the post. That's a full refund. Considering I paid £10.00 with a rail travel voucher, I was expecting a refund by that method. Shame I took a day annual leave to not really travel anywhere useful, but...

Thank you for all the comments. I have written in to Greater Anglia asking for a full refund. It is good to see that the NRCoT will cover this situation. Shame it hasn't been included up until now, as it does seem like a rather unfair contract IMO. --- old post above --- --- new post below...

Exactly. Bernery Arms station is 6 miles from Great Yarmouth station and approx. 2.5 miles from the nearest road.
