Thanks for your replies. I'm somewhat curious about the security implications. What is the procedure when staff or passengers identify large, heavy items abandoned intentionally or otherwise on trains ?

Thank you, I think that summarises it rather neatly. Have you been reading 1984 recently ? :wink:

Thanks. Just curious. There's no "central communication system" as such then ?

A friend left their holdall bag on a cross-country train destined for Birmingham last night. Rang this morning and it's still not been handed in. Apparently the station master couldnt telephone the onboard train manager as the station and train were run by different companies. Is that...

That's what it looks like to me.

So DfT jumped before they were pushed. No judicial review, no dirty washing, no transparency. Very convenient, Sir Humphrey. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I also wonder if the government knew about the errors and that the reshuffle last month was all choreographed around...

Can an Edinburgh-Pitlochry day return be used for a BOJ at Dunfermline ? Otherwise what would the best ticket option be ?

Glad everything turned out well. However I do wonder if they deliberately left the date error in, so they could elegantly withdraw on a technicality if things got choppy for them. ie just hoping you would capitulate in the early stages but knowing they could at any stage withdraw the...

Is it 24 hours ? Obviously I understand they may sell out, but when is the theoretical cut-off ?

From the inquest: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2011/10/29/final-moments-of-train-tragedy-teenager-georgia-varley-revealed-at-liverpool-inquest-100252-29681990/ I presume the inquest has been adjourned, for the time-being.

I assume this is an error, but when using http://traintimes.org.uk I repeatedly get this fare for tomorrow's 12:16 departure: 12:16 – 18:05 (5h 49m, 2 changes; Platform 4; arriving Platform 3) iCal · Fares Single £13.30 Anytime Day Single £126.90 Off-Peak £159.30 Anytime £213.30...

Is Tring a permitted route with say an off-peak or super off-peak return ? And would I be able to break the out or return journey ?

If you're doing any work on the train, the direct service may be better. Just in terms of valuing your own time ... If >£14/hour go for the faster service if <£14/hr the slower! Try both!

You're still posting -- It takes 2 to tango. I have stated the logic of the case a few times now. People can make of it what they will.

On the basis that his proof of ticket purchase would negate the UFN.

further analysis ? The problem is no one will even attempt analysis! The OP's case is that the guard's misinformation about the appeal deprived the OP of the opportunity to minimise his loss by ending his journey at the next station. The guard/ToC are responsible for this in the eyes of...

It would be for a court to decide on the balance of probability in a civil case. Guards are not immune from the law! He may simply have wished to placate the OP, and deal with other customers. A white lie perhaps. Tell that to the court. Have you ever heard of the term logical non sequitur...

I think you have a case. If he had not, as you believe, misinformed you, you could have disembarked and chosen to travel no further. He therefore effectively deprived you of that opportunity, and the consequent loss you suffered is caused by that misinformation. Unfortunately it will be...

Glasgow-KYL return. Easement allows return from Mallaig.

I think Mallaig-Kyle is winning this by a country mile.:wink:
