    New season ticket purchase?

    As far as we have been instructed and the internal knowledgebase states, normal season ticket photocard rules apply so they would need a photocard as well as the railcard and the physical ticket.

At smaller stations it may go to a station phone; perhaps a mobile or in a ticket office, or redirect to a bigger station with a station control room. If unanswered it goes to Control. The...

    A train from Ashford to St Pancras departs at XX:16 taking 38mins. A train from Ashford to St Pancras via Dover & Faversham departs at XX:15 from the adjacent platform taking 2hrs 55 mins. They’ll both be on the adjacent (island) platform at the same time. If they were both advertised as St...

    Overnight break of journey - Restriction 9F

    That’s really helpful thank you. I think perhaps it just poor wording on the part of whichever source feeds the TIS I were using. The wording is in my favour as in this case I am the passenger!

    Overnight break of journey - Restriction 9F

    The fare conditions on my TIS for a Super Off Peak return (restriction 9F) say the following; Is my interpretation of this correct that you cannot choose to break your journey overnight, that you are only able to do this if the timetable does not allow the journey to be completed in the day?

    HELP PLEASE! London to ashford international

    Who have you heard mixed reports from? Perhaps they are getting confused, as travelcards in the traditional sense (inboundary travelcards) have never been valid at Ashford. You can, however, buy a travelcard from Ashford (an outboundary travelcard) which includes one return rail journey between...

    Heathrow to Hastings ticket query

    That is a “U fare” valid like a point to point ticket from a National Rail station to an Underground or DLR station. I believe this is the fare you should've been sold.
