No PRIV cards only get discount on full fare SDS/SDR/SOS/SOR or the appropriate First Class version if you are entitled to it.

Boundary Zones can be done as a destination, particularly on FGW where staff are told if fare available it should be used rather than doing West Drayton or whichever station applies for zones held.

Turbos, Voyagers, HSTs, Junipers you may see Desiros depending on what SWT are using on the Reading - Waterloo line. Reading does have it's fair share of freight passing through too :)

I think only revenue can if pushing forward for prosecution as then the pass would be evidence.

To my knowledge only Network Rail staff that get travel facilities would be those who are safe guarded. So as a new entrant you can get a season ticket which NR subsidise.

Can only use an alternative card if booking is setup as third party. How long after booking did you try to collect it? As trainline bookings tend to take about 2-3 hours to process. (FGW Website uses trainline)

Well I got the 05:39 Euston to Glasgow last Thursday and my ticket was checked before boarding.

Not seen it written anywhere myself. At the end of the day you have still bought a ticket, the fact it's discounted is not the point. TOC's have to get you from A to B, and I've personally not seen that refused to people with staff travel. Even on free boxes/passes.

When entering vouchers, on Star the user needs to select which ticket the voucher is going towards the cost of, this can cause as in your case, the tickets to properly show where part payments apply.

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/booking_horizons.html National Express East Anglia are not open for reservations on Sunday 23, Saturday 29, Sunday 30 and Monday 31 May, for Sunday 6 June reservations are open from 14:00 It doesn't say why, so maybe ask National Express? Maybe there...

Fair enough, I didn't work railway when had them, I just remember using them, and being unable to come back on a Friday, it was the main thing that for me stood out.

Sometimes even if the child is under 5 it is worth paying for them anyway. Example: 1 adult super off peak return from London - Plymouth = £71.70 1 adult and 1 child ssr from London - Plymouth w/fam card = £61.00 So if you do make enough journeys with the kids it can be worthwhile.

I may be wrong but I'm quite sure that Super Savers were barred for travel on Fridays? So how is it more heavily restricted now?

TOC's normally release performance information monthly so you should check that when it's due for your season to be renewed. As the bit for the year is the Moving Annual Average, it will reflect the service you have received during your annual season.

Where did you see about them wanting people? Be quite interested myself in this.

GroupSave is like using a railcard, it's a promotional thing, it comes with conditions, and one of those conditions would be operators that will not accept it. XC being one of them.

This is from the ATOC Rail Staff Travel bit for Safeguarded staff, which I am assuming your dad is as you mention boxes. "Such employees also have absolute discretion as to whether they allow their dependants to enjoy these facilities. Any person who is found to use improperly a travel...

Surely better just to be honest? At the end of the day you already say you would happily relocate, so just tell the employer that?

At a guess I'd say it would be released when the weekend ones are as the 3rd May is a bank holiday so maybe alterations that are not confirmed yet.

Looks like it's the vacancy at York with Northern Rail http://www.northern.engageats.co.uk/ViewVacancy.aspx?enc=mEgrBL4XQK0+ld8aNkwYmBrmQ1d3MkUDK86qa/dPFdMtfWMzq5FlmxFPfxoyO/JM0lGZ5JuhUXOlMNbbBMlQ0A==
