Indeed. And it often seems as though the TOC's legal apparatus has never really put anything near £150 of thought into some matters!

Strictly, you are quite right. But it does appear to be the RPI who first concludes there is a case to answer and forwards this up the chain, even when no offence can possibly have been committed.

The regulations have nothing to say about "essential" travel. The word "essential" occurs 4 times, relating to "essential upkeep" of a household, "essential voluntary services" (twice) and a gathering that is "essential" for work purposes. Any two persons from separate households may (now) visit...

I have had automatic email advice of train alterations one and two years ago. Two years ago my Hannover-Amsterdam train got cancelled, and one year ago Hamburg-Hannover got cancelled. I bought my tickets through my account on the the DB website. On both occasions I took my original itinerary...

There are occasional Ayr-North Berwick services. Also I think a few North Berwick - Haymarket. I'm surprised there aren't more like this actually - a quick crayoning gives Tweedbank to the fife loop?

Where is the TICKET incorrectly routed? Or is Inverness/Inverkeithing/747 not a valid route? The reservation beyond Inverkeithing is pointless, but the ticket quite clearly says where to get the bus to me. Furthermore, these are anytime tickets not savers, so there is no requirement to have the...

Googles is quoting from that very page, but skipping much of the detail. The OP's screenshot is of part of a paragraph about halfway down. The screenshot does include the phrase "Please enquire as to the restrictions applying to the journey you wish to make" after all. But the sentence at the...

Is the right answer! Most modern regulations drive smaller firms out of the market.

i'm getting 4 hr or so journeys to Marylebone or Paddington on the planner.

AH, Thanks.

(getting close to a thread split perhaps) Any more clues please? I have been travelling this way for about a year now. What has changed? Are there any posters up announcing the change? (I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks). Why has it taken so long to implement? As usual, my main...

Up to about 3 weeks ago.

My success rate at Newcastle is about 33% with these things. Usually show it to the scanner 3 or 4 times before giving up and joining the queue.

Does anyone know if anything has been done about this? Clearly tickets to the airport are possible: I have been given one provided by my corporate booking team (not people who I can speak directly to). But trying to buy one online myself, I have extracted a ticket only valid to Haymarket...

I had to show my unused return portion on an outward trip last month. The ticket inspector didn't believe I had bought it from a machine earlier.

Seems to be about 10% of the age of most stations around. Even most of the Beeching closures had been around longer than that. At college I was told the loosely "expected" life of a capital project was 30 years.

Perhaps guards should only be carried when we know there is going to be an incident :roll: The thing is, the cat is already out of the bag. DOO is already allowed on a number of lines, so surely alternative procedures are already in place for such occurrences, or am I being terribly naive...

Would it need to be open air? Jungfraujoch is in a tunnel anyway. Does it have to be heavy rail, or is a light rail/metro station acceptable? Does the means of access have to "comparable" in any way? Is the expedition going to cycle into Jungfraujoch itself (there are other land routes than...

I think the tunnel out is in fact "no pedestrians". I'm not sure pedestrian access at T5 is practicable either.

Even this kind of claim is awkward. My copy of "The Metropolitan Line - A Brief History" (pub. 1972) refers to Hammersmith and City Services. It also says the "Hammersmith and City Railway" was incorporated in 1861! A lot hinges on whether the word "Line" is part of the name, but clearly the...
