I have no insider info or personal knowledge, but if you use TfL's Working Timetables (WTT) to look up the train+trip numbers (0458 from Upminster is train 110 trip 1, and 0622 from Kensington Olympia is train 72 trip 2), then you can use eta's intertube's historical search to check the actual...

You could reassure her by showing that journey planners offer the Off-Peak Return for a journey Tunbridge Wells - Basingstoke going out at 1700 today and returning 1700 tomorrow: https://ticket.southeasternrailway.co.uk/journeys-grid/TBW/BSK/2026-03-12T17:00/2026-03-13T17:00/1//TSTx1

I would argue that the first sentence is reasonably clear, and, if you think about it, the correct interpretation is the sensible one that avoids anomalies like the topic of this thread. However, if after the first sentence, the reader is unsure about what "minimum fare" means (is it the minimum...

Indeed, accompanied children aged 5-10 can travel free on all TfL services and a limited number of National Rail routes in London, basically the "interavailable" ones which parallel tube lines, including the Thameslink core. National Rail Enquiries has a page (...

Every retailer (including ticket machines) selling paper season tickets will ask for the photocard number before payment, as the point is to print it on the ticket so that it can only be used by the person whose photo is on the photocard. This is what it looks like on the Trainline and Southern...

If this Railcard was purchased before the inspector started issuing the Penalty Fare, and hence before the train called at Long Buckby, then presumably the originally purchased ticket (if not an Advance, and allowing Break of Journey) in combination with the newly purchased Railcard was valid...

The forum had a thread nearly 3 years ago from someone whose son was being prosecuted for going the wrong way on an escalator on the Tyne & Wear Metro (but the poster has not come back to report the outcome)...

In the Thameslink online delay repay form, if you select "Abandoned Journey" then you get the message "If you chose not to travel or returned to your origin as you were unable to complete your journey, we recommend applying for a refund from the retailer you purchased your ticket from" and are...

It sounds like Trainsplit is offering a split using return tickets for part of the journey and singles for the others (including the part that you want to customise), or else booking the two legs separately should cost the same as booking them as a return trip (except the "share of saving" might...

Given this SWR map, I can see how Hilsea-Cosham and Hilsea-Bedhampton each form a part of a longer journey from Portsmouth to London via Basingstoke (exiting the map to the northwest) and via Guildford (exiting the map to the north), respectively, but what is the argument for the ticket being...

Please upload a scan of your letter with identifying details removed. In two recent cases (17 Feb 2025, 4 Mar 2025), the letter from Northern said "Only written mitigation will be accepted to the above address and/or to drpu@northernrailway.co.uk".

I have a Travelcard Season and was looking at Anytime Day Return (Route: Not Gatwick Express) fares to Gatwick Airport [GTW] for a trip that is likely to be morning peak both ways. I was pleased to find that with my Travelcard I could purchase a Boundary Zone [BZ]2 - GTW ticket for £24.10 and...

Indeed, if Crosscountry's argument (not very well put forward by them) in every highlighted case is that "the metadata of your picture places you on a train/station at a particular time and we suspect that you used the same ticket to travel at that time as well as claim delay repay for a later...

So the 14:35 skips Basingstoke between Woking and Winchester. Overlapping Winchester-Basingstoke as proposed above, I can find: Winchester - London Terminals Off-Peak Return £50.60 [essentially not valid to arrive London Terminals before 10am] Basingstoke - Brockenhurst Evening Out Return...

Presumably the fact that you had a reservation on the train from Carmarthen onwards means that that train was reservable, so the obscure rule comes into play, that if you have an unreserved leg then you can choose other unreservable departures, but not reservable ones? (There is a debate to be...

Oddly the cheapest return between Boundary Zone 6 and Milton Keynes Central (regardless of direction) seems to be an Off-Peak Day return (route ".") at £17.75, which is more expensive than tickets between MKC and London Terminals (regardless of direction) at £17.15 (Off-Peak Day Return route...

I note that you have typed "DPRU" here when the correct order of letters is "DRPU" (Debt Recovery and Prosecutions Unit) - please check you're using the correct one when sending your emails.

It doesn't work to add more posts yourself since they still get automerged - you need someone else to comment, like this.

I have a brilliant idea that will bring in additional revenue for the Railway: Make every ticket 100x more expensive, and introduce a "law-abiding discount" of 99% on all tickets (implemented online as a checkbox to tick before paying). A person buying say a £2720 Anytime Day Return for St...
