    Global Airlines launch flights announced

    Perhaps he’s just holding back from saying what he really thinks until after the return flight, to ensure he doesn’t get bumped off the flight.

    [Trivia] Stations only open for arriving or departing passengers?

    Aberdare, though whether it’s a separate station is debatable. But the arrival and departure platforms do have separate location codes on RTT. The existing code is ABA, with XCB for the arrival platform.

    Interesting lines in the Netherlands

    The service from Utrecht Centraal to Utrecht Maliebaan is a little unusual - it takes you to the railway museum and the adjacent platform will have a few exhibits. Operates hourly, and only when the museum is open. Otherwise, I’m struggling to think of anything interesting or noteworthy. The...

    Grand Central apply for Newcastle - Brighton direct

    Agreed, but nowadays it’s less about the marketing and more about the itinerary that is generated. Trains from Newcastle / Durham tend not to stop at Stevenage, which is mainly served by LNERs Leeds and Lincoln services, plus the York stoppers. Stevenage is a much easier interchange than...

    Grand Central apply for Newcastle - Brighton direct

    Agreed. Can’t see how this is going to create many new travel opportunities or attract people from other modes of transport. Also, plenty of scope for services to be delayed here given the multiple complex junctions… will be an interesting one for Network Rail to timetable, if the application...

    Help - Notice of Intention to Prosecute - Help

    A few questions… 1. Did you send a reply to them based on your 29 March draft (or similar)? If so, when did you send it? 2. can you upload a copy of the latest letter you’ve received, redacting any personal information. When did you receive it? Your friend’s draft response is nonsense...

    Regarding Court summon

    This is really important. Do you still have a copy of the letter that they sent you, or a copy of the reply that you sent to them? If so, put a copy on here but obscure any personal details. This is usually the stage where you’d apologise and admit your error of judgment, and convince them that...

    Regarding Court summon

    In your initial post on this thread you mention a “first letter”. What was that letter, and what was your response to it?

    Should I appeal?

    Sounds as though you’ve been issued a penalty fare of £50 plus £6.20 for an Anytime Single from Hilsea to Fareham. That would be the right way for South West Railway to deal with this and is effectively the cheapest option for you. The £50 penalty will increase to £100 if you don’t pay within...

    Short fared journey

    You give your location as Glasgow. It’s very important to tell us which stations you are travelling between and at which station were you stopped? Scottish law is very different to England & Wales on these matters, so it’s important you provide this information so we can ensure advice is correct.

    Failed Revenue Inspection

    Effectively the £7.00 charge deals with the matter and the case is closed. Unless this has happened on multiple occasions, or the inspector starts taking your details for further investigation, there’s nothing to worry about. But remember, although hopper fares apply to bus and tram, you must...

    TFL - Urgent help needed to draft response for out of court settlement please?

    I’m not sure how this sentence helps. TfL will have the report from their inspector, you haven’t given them anything in the letter relating to the circumstances surrounding the error of judgment. The person at TfL will surely conclude that this is a straightforward case of misuse of a Freedom...

    caught using the wrong railcard for a discounted ticket

    In practical terms, here’s what you need to do: 1. Wait for GTR Thameslink to write to you. That’ll be a letter in the post - it may not arrive for 2-3 months. Did you give them your correct name and address when you were stopped? 2. When you receive the letter, post a copy here (redacting...

    caught using the wrong railcard for a discounted ticket

    Yes - they will investigate your Trainline account (or whichever ticket app you use) and they’ll be able to see when and where each ticket was scanned.

    Chiltern Railways - NIP Response Feedback

    Your draft is far too long. They won’t care about the story as to why you didn’t renew. There’s a lot of examples on other threads of more concise responses. Chiltern will typically settle out of court if you cooperate, but don’t make their job more difficult by sending a lengthy email.

    Notice of intention to prosecute

    That’s better, covers the main points. Might be worth just waiting 24 hours for any other comments before sending.

    Notice of intention to prosecute

    There’s a whiff of AI being used in your draft. We recommend not using AI as it can come across as false and insincere. Or you could just say “Thank you for your letter of 12th March 2025.” Do you seriously care about whether the person reading your letter is well? You need a period of...
