    Alternatives to "Not Gatwick Express" tickets to/from Gatwick Airport to/from "London Terminals"

    An Oyster card would be an option but I want to check if a paper ticket would be a better option first. It is a one off journey but a return one.

    Alternatives to "Not Gatwick Express" tickets to/from Gatwick Airport to/from "London Terminals"

    I would like to know if there are any alternatives to purchasing a "Not Gatwick Express" ticket to/from "London Terminals" apart from an "Any Permitted" ticket which costs an arm and a leg. My plan is to travel on a GTR service other than a Gatwick Express service. I don't want to use London...

    Bylaw 13 Warning Letter

    This is not the reason that I question the letter's validity. I question the letter's validity because it was served on me by a constable of the British Transport Police acting on his own initiative, not on the request of Greater Anglia (who are the TOC that manage Norwich station). This...

    Bylaw 13 Warning Letter

    It is alleged that this consisted of me being at Norwich station for the sake of it and following a female Police officer around.

    Bylaw 13 Warning Letter

    I have been given a warning letter from [REDACTED] based at Norwich railway station by BTP officers whilst they were on routine foot patrol at that station. This is the text of the letter: A copy of Railway Bylaw 13 and part of Bylaw 25 (1) which highlights the definition of an "authorised...

    Hypothetical: Person at gateline claims they haven't travelled

    With some TOCs (at least), it is just a case of let them through. Nothing will be done unless the staff have actually witnessed the person getting off a train.

    Hypothetical: Person at gateline claims they haven't travelled

    No they could not. Unless the person is given the oppurtunity to leave the railway and refuses to do so or keeps coming back. In such case where the BTP are involved, they could arrest and/or prosecute for obstructing Police.

    What do you think of Great Yarmouth?

    Hello people, what do you think of Great Yarmouth? Is it a dump or a nice place to visit? Please feel free to voice your opinions below whether you are at one of these extremes or somewhere in the middle.

    Is Lowestoft the furthest East station in the UK?

    Whilst I technically do not originate from Norfolk, but rather Kent, I have lived in Norfolk for longer than the best part of my life. I am not in the slightest bit offended. In fact I fully agree with you.

    What, in your opinion, was the best TOC of all time since privatisation began?

    I'd be tempted to say NXEA aka One but as I've not got that much experience travelling on trains operated by older franchises, I'm not sure that I'm correct on that one.

    People's attitude to buying tickets.

    True but what happens if it leads to either the card being blocked or you being able to draw fuel without having means to pay? The system needs modernisation before its implementation spreads in my opinion.

    Great Yarmouth - Reedham to close for six months

    How about making tickets to/from Lowestoft valid to/from Gt Yarmouth? That way people can go to Lowestoft, get a bus to Gt Yarmouth and then a train home from there without having to either return to Lowestoft or buy a ticket to Reedham/Brundall?

    PAYG to be expanded nationwide

    On that note I can't see Greater Anglia doing the same either. :lol::lol:

    Great Yarmouth - Reedham to close for six months

    This raises a few problems: 1) Where do you route the express services without putting them behind the stoppers? 2) What do you do with Berney Arms station given that it is supposed to have a train service in perputity? 3) What do passengers wishing to travel from Reedham to Gt Yarmouth do...

    Anglia Plus - Bus validity in Norwich

    Updaet: I have contacted First Group and Bus Users. First Group informed me that this applies to "Norwich", which presumably means the entire "Network Norwich" zone.

    Great Yarmouth - Reedham to close for six months

    I doubt it. Why would that make any sense?
