If you know which itinerary you want, then the forum's ticketing site seems to work, with some effort: I selected a random date in the future (14 Apr), and went on realtimetrains.co.uk to put together a random target itinerary from London King's Cross to Edinburgh changing, as suggested, at...

Confusingly, "London (Any)" is a search term (not a ticketing destination) that tells Trainline that you want to be shown any ticket that is valid for a London (terminal) station regardless of which one it is, not that you want a ticket that is valid to any London station. You then have to...

I just bring up the E-ticket on my phone way in advance and place my thumb onto the middle of the screen (away from any tappable buttons) to keep it from turning off - it's the natural grip to hold a phone-shaped item anyway (whether in front of you or down by your side), if you're not trying to...

Here's the video with the train appearing at 7:13: You can pause and then use the ","/"." keys to step backwards/forwards frame-by-frame. It looks like there's a smoothed out cut in the video after the front of the train passes. Towards the back of the 2nd carriage of 800005, the join between...

Removing the gateline at one end of the shuttle certainly makes it easier for passengers (often with their hands full of luggage), and allows staff to be concentrated at the barriered end to help with tickets and payment. Another not-fully-barriered airport people-mover system is the AirTrain...

I've just been through Kentish Town, interchanging between Thameslink and Northern Line, which due to the works in the ticket hall requires tapping out and then back in again. (Normally the Thameslink footbridge goes into the "paid side" of the station building from where you access the...

So from what you're saying, on two separate occasions, two different staff members from the same Train Operating Company have accused you of the same specific crime (reusing tickets), despite the tickets you were holding at each time being completely valid. This would suggest that the two...

That is not correct - are you perhaps thinking of TrainSplit? Here is an example search on the Trainline App for Hinckley to Birmingham New Street for 3 adults with a 16-17 Saver (50% off) and a 16-25 Railcard (33% off). The total price offered is £35.50, which is 1 + 0.5 + 0.66 times the...

According to BRFares, Filton Abbey Wood to Bristol Temple Meads is £5.40 for an Anytime Day Return without Railcard discount. Trainline have charged you a 59p booking fee, which is the minimum fee they apply for bookings before the day of travel. You can avoid the fee by buying the ticket on the...

Looking at TRU112, it's a document predating the opening of the Elizabeth Line, and it discusses changes implemented for the Elizabeth Line which turned out to be premature due to a sudden announcement of delay to the opening of the Elizabeth Line ("until autumn 2019" :)). Hence, the statement...

I passed by Victoria today so went and had a look (and helped a passenger find their way to the right level to exit from lift F...). Starting from lift F, as you can see from hexagon789's diagram above you need to go to interchange level -3, and then across to lift D which goes up to ticket...

The first letter that TfL sends out, the so called "Verification letter", is typically sent 1-2 days after the incident and always follows the exact same template. You can see two recent examples here, and note that the letters are identical except for the incident date...

Minor correction: The date "4 Sep 2024" in the box on the front page of the SJPN that is cut off in the picture is the "Make your plea by" date (as repeated in the body text of the notice), not the date of the SJPN, which appears from post #31 to be "Posting date: 14 Aug 2024". The question of...

Recently I had an experience like what you describe, not on the Elizabeth Line, but on Thameslink at Farringdon northbound. The next trains were "1st train Bedford 5 minutes / 2nd train Luton 6 minutes" when suddenly the two swapped order to "1st train Luton 6 minutes / 2nd train Bedford 5...

Below is a list (with links) of recent cases involving TfL in the Disputes & Prosecution forums (excluding on-the-spot penalty fares). As you can see, TfL typically have a very fast turnaround, sending out letters within 1-2 days of the incident, and if deciding to prosecute then sending out the...

I recall using a very long escalator at some airport where a safety video was playing on a loop saying to always put your suitcase on the step *above* you so that your body blocks it from falling, and showing a demonstration of a badly placed suitcase being bumped by someone trying to squeeze...

Can't you tell who travelled from the direction and timings of the tickets? Assuming you live in L and she lives in W, then any return ticket L-W-L would be you and W-L-W would be her, and if you used singles then looking at the timings/dates could indicate direction, and also two consecutive...

I note that one sentence in the original poster's first draft could be interpreted in two different ways, with the subsequent amendments by other forum members being the incorrect way, as compared with the description of events from the first post of the thread,

The relevant early-morning trains on 4th November appear to be as follows (sorry for mixing departure and arrival times): TL TL TL TL EM TL TL EM TL EM EM TL EM EM Gatwick Airport 0146 0246 0346 0421 0441 0519 St Pancras International 0244 0344 0444...

So the Z2-5 Travelcard saves £1220 (= £4.86 per working day, if there's 251 of them) relative to the Z1-5 one, in exchange for costing £3.50 peak / £1.90 off-peak for every journey from Victoria (or otherwise using the National Rail fare scale in Z1, or £2.80 peak / £1.75 off-peak on the TfL-LU...
