    Is it possible that a ticket barrier is erasing my paper season ticket?

    Any station can do encode exchanges for you; I won't comment on whether they will :|

    Watching TV on the Train

    I'm paying £12.90/month for unlimited data on 3, and I've used a lot more than 32GB abroad in a week without charge :D

    Advances through London during the tube strike

    Perhaps that explains the one abandoned at East Croydon :D

    W Driver Only Operated Trains (DOO) discussion

    You might want to Google aggressor too ;) Though I would agree with you that FGW "started it", to put it in short words

    W Driver Only Operated Trains (DOO) discussion

    Didn't someone say that that's how guards on DOO Southeastern trains avoid being left behind when getting out at stops?

    Is it possible that a ticket barrier is erasing my paper season ticket?

    Really worryingly, it sounds like a previous clerk might have used up your one chance at a duplicate (rather than a replacement), and this one is attempting to do the same. If you'd like to try another ticket office, Marylebone is generally very well commended. London Overground's ticket...

    W Driver Only Operated Trains (DOO) discussion

    Beliggerents is not a derogatory term but has a technical meaning that is relevant in this case. It means the aggressor in a dispute. Smallminded is a derogatory term.

    Penalty Fare at Victoria (Southern vs Gat Ex)

    If they named the new station "Gatwick Express", then they wouldn't even need to change the route names. "NOT GAT EXP" would still have its intuitive meaning.

    Advances through London during the tube strike

    Getting one of those during a strike is about as easy as getting a bus or taxi

    Chiltern Railways Business Zone

    I am presently the treasurer of a charitable organisation and would agree with Neil on this matter. The ticket being described as standard, first, or standard with a free upgrade is immaterial - the fact of the matter is that the organisation desires to pay for transport and a meal, and that...

    Penalty Fare at Victoria (Southern vs Gat Ex)

    I'm not arguing about the details of the National Rail revenue allocation system, but rather discussing the idea of the trains in question not being run as National Rail trains. Then the constraints of the NRCoC don't apply, the airport premium can be charged, and we can all rest easy knowing...

    Penalty Fare at Victoria (Southern vs Gat Ex)

    If that's the case then they might want to look at negotiating an end to that. Why not? In the absence of any new agreements, it's still the case that they operate all the other trains to Gatwick Airport :lol:

    Penalty Fare at Victoria (Southern vs Gat Ex)

    Perhaps more seriously, are GTR obligated to run the Gatwick Express as a National Rail service? If those trains had, per Heathrow Express, their own regulations and conditions, with an acceptance of through National Rail tickets that included a supplement, the issue would be as good as solved.

    Connections!

    They just have to get you to Sevenoaks; seeing you onto a bus you already have a ticket for would discharge their responsibilities. This is the action I would expect them to take.

    How long should you have to alight from a train?

    Fairly common, too, on the parts of the London Underground on which the carriage of bicycles is prohibited. Heard it countless times on (8-car) Victoria line trains.

    who shall I complain to?

    But if all was as told then charging a PF would not have been legal. The further fare that was charged was correctly paid for by VT.
