Given that the break of journey would effectively result in two notionally seperate journeys, wouldn't this result in a scenario where delay repay could only be claimed for one of those notional journeys given that you can only claim Delay Repay once per ticket? Setting that aside, you make a...

My intended itinerary was the following: London Kings Cross (KGX) to Peterborough (PBO), PBO to Thetford (TTF) and TTF to Wymondham (WMD). My actual itinerary was the following: KGX to London Liverpool Street (LST) by bus, LST to Norwich (NRW) and NRW to WMD by taxi. I chose to travel to WMD...

Hello everyone, I sent a Delay Repay claim which related to a cancelled LNER train to LNER who have told me that I sent it to the wrong TOC as my ticket was only valid on GA or Thameslink and Great Northern and not on their service, it was a London to Thetford via Cambridge ticket. I got a GA...

Agree

Why can't they leave water fountains on at stations when they are unmanned? Why can't they at least leave a disabled toilet open at an unmanned station? That would make sense.

I would advise paying and then appealing against the charge afterwards.

This reminds me of some fares on Greater Anglia where the anytime day single fare is marginally cheaper than an off peak day return fare but there is no such a thing as an off peak day single fare.

If the latter than not only would that be ridiculous, people may end up having to spend even longer without water. That might be extremely counterproductive.

The ticket inspector was wrong. A penalty fare won't be issued by post but an invoice for costs and the correct fare (or excess fare) might be.

One of the good things about Greater Anglia: they provide free water bottle refill stations at numerous railway stations.

The Gatwick Express doesn't!

I'm technically incorrect then but I'm sure that even Mr Marshall could see the error of Railtrack's ways whilst he was alive.

That was an epic fail. Just ask any of the victims of Hatfield. Even Steve Marshall can probably see the error of Railtracks ways. I'd say no, we should either leave it as it is or fully nationalise it but with privately owned open access operators permitted to operate trains.

Fair point. I take that bit back.

I would disagree, what if the guard is just hidden in a cab (or even in another unit) and is therefore not findable as a result? Then pulling the passcom would be incredibly silly, not to mention potentially dangerous as it will distract the driver from doing his/her job, especially if pulled...

Correct but what should I have done instead, pulled the passcom?

Alright sorry about that, I was being pedantic and I meant that in the context of there being an expectation to seek out the guard on every train. What if there is no member of traincrew or staff (apart from the driver) present? What if the guard is present but hidden in his cab? That reminds me...

What if it's a DOO train?

But you can get a refund on an Advance you didn't use if your train was delayed or cancelled right?

I accept it doesn't, I don't know if it has been tested in court and I don't know about any Act of Parliament but I will add that Byelaws 17 and 18 only requires that a ticket must be purchased prior to board if ticket purchasing facilities are available. It doesn't require purchasing one from...
