I recognise that some people may be happy to trade off a longer journey time and/ore more changes of train in return for a lower fare. What has intrigued me several times when using Transplit recently is the number of options offered which involve both longer journey times and a more expensive...

Is there a consistent approach to when station waiting rooms are open ( such as them only being open at times when the station is staffed)? My question arises because I found the waiting room at New Pudsey locked today and, on checking online, was advised that it is only open during hours when...

When an assistance request is confirmed by email, it usually includes the statement 'your assistance requesrt has been amended and confirmed'. The puzzle is that generally one of two circumstances apply: a) nothing obvious has been amended or: b) information thst one would have thought to be...

I've read the guidance on Delay Repay for Ranger and Rover tickets at https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tickets-railcards-and-offers/ticket-types/ranger-tickets-and-rover-tickets/ However, I'm left unclear by the line which states: 'Compensation claims must be made for each individual journey...

I have a split ticket for which one leg is valid on a TPE service and the other a Cross Country service. The TPE one states ‘Valid on specified TPE trains only’ whilst the Cross Country one states ‘Reserved Cross Country trains only’. I understand Advance tickets and have no worries about...

Looking for Todmorden-Glasgow fares I noticed that the Off-Peak 'via Manchester' Return includes restriction code 2U, which means 'Not valid on trains scheduled to depart before 04:15'. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=TOD&dest=0433&rte=312&tkt=SVR Given that the only overnight weekday...

Even notwithstanding the recent changes, passengers still have a right to a refund of their ticket under National Rail Conditions of Travel 30.1 if you decide not to travel because the train you intendedto use is: • cancelled, or • delayed, or • rescheduled after you have purchased a Ticket or...

It is striking that over on the rail parts of the forum, whilst there are of course threads about rolling stock, a large number of discussions are about services and tickets. On the Buses and Coaches section, threads tend to be far more dominated by discussions on changes in vehicles locally...

I noticed on BRFares that that the options for Micklefield to Selby fares include cheaper 'Not via Leeds' fares, implying that the higher priced Any Permitted fares are valid via Leeds (and indeed, on searching, journey options are offered, albeit for a limited number of services) . Leaving...

Searching for journeys from Oxford to Brighouse via London early evening I noticed that, whilst the Super Off-Peak Single fare shows as valid on all LNER services ex-Kings Cross after 1859, it does not show as valid on the 2000 Grand Central service to Brighouse, resulting in the cheapest...

Moderator note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/passenger-removal.300156/ I think a key difference as I understand it is that people with Tourette's are more likely to say offensive words aloud at random moments, rather than in the middle of a conversation, but that swearing...

I am travelling from Brighouse to Oxford on 26 March, leaving at 0403, and changing onto the 0511 from Manchester Piccadilly. Although I have split tickets via Trainsplit, this is a valid route generally, and meeting the minimum connection time at Piccadilly. However, I have noticed when...

My wife is currently trying to get from Leeds to Halifax. She rang me because she had been advised that all services were being replaced by RRBs. I looked on Northern's website, assuming that significant disruption like this would be clearly highlighted. Instead, I had to click through to...

I’m currently waiting for the 0758 Sowerby Bridge-Leeds which has been announced as delayed ‘due to communication system issues’. What could this be a euphemism for?

Whilst at Heathrow 2&3 tube station I was intrigued to see a wide accessible ticket gate for which one needed to pass through narrow barriers (presumably to stop passengers taking large luggage through) in order to access. I recognise that there may be other routes for those with access needs...

My wife was travelling from Glasgow Central to Halifax, changing at Bolton and Manchester Victoria, and had arranged assistance via the Passenger Assist app. A couple of hours before the journey, she received an email advising that her TPE service from Glasgow had been cancelled, and suggesting...

Genuine question.Are the photos circulating of the alleged planned GBR uniform a joke or for real?-because I have to say I think they look hideous.

The 1147 Leeds to Bradford Interchange via Dewsbury is showing on RTT as ‘This service was cancelled due to the planned train being replaced with a slower train (MS)’ (See attachment). In this context of a local stopping service, what does that mean in reality?

Whilst buying a Halifax-Leeds ticket online, I noticed that the 1151 was marked as ‘not available’. This does not appear to be the usual problem of setting fictitious limits on the number of tickets available, but rather that this service forms part of a number of journeys which, during the...

There's plenty of discussion on redundant announcements generally on trains, but Avanti have extended that principle to its catering. The announcement about the catering service for the train I am on tonight included: 1. Please let them know if you have any allergies 2. Please take care of...
