    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    I thought this might open a can of worms, but I didn't quite expect this many invertebrates. That said: This ticket (Zone U12 to Hatfield) *doesn't* appear to have afternoon off-peak restrictions, at least as far as I can see on Avanti's ticket site? Is that right? (It is 50/50 whether I...

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Thank you. And just be to sure, this is true even if I don't take the direct train, but change at Finsbury Park, right? It's the existence of the direct route that matters? 1768984254 Sorry, one more question: This means i'd have to observe the afternoon peak at Hatfield, right? So no trains...

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Thanks for this suggestion. Why would a Hatfield to Acton Main Line return be valid via Old Street? That seems like a bizarre routing.

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Ah! I hadn't realised that. Thanks, that's a useful thought as it means the low-effort version is just a couple of quid more than the other cheapest way.

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Is there no afternoon peak for travelling back from Hatfield? I'd assumed there was...

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Thanks - I think the fact is covers my two extra evening tubes makes it the best option.

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    I think this is cheaper because of the extra tube journeys. Thank you Thank you. How do I get a Network railcard discount on the travelcard? (The weekday minimum fare of £13 presumably applies too)

    London - Hatfield - Old Street

    Hi I have some complicated London travel coming up and wanted to check I wasn't missing anything. I want to go from Paddington to Hatfield on a weekday around 3pm, then return to Old Street around 7. I'll then do two zone 1 tube journeys that evening. I think the cheapest way to do this is...

    Used Husband's 60+ Travel Card. TFL Asked To Plea Within 10Days But 11days Have Lapsed.

    I don't think it will matter if you respond a day late, but it is now urgent, as it sounds like you appreciate. The bad news is that TfL take this sort of thing very seriously, and almost always (as far as we can see) prosecute. If they do that, and you plead guilty, then that's the end of that...

    Outboundary ticket from Hatfield into London

    Thanks Yorkie - admirably clear (and much appreciated).

    Outboundary ticket from Hatfield into London

    Hi all Just wanted to check an assumption - I have a day travelcard (zones 1-6) but am travelling to and from Hatfield. I therefore have purchased a day return from the boundary of zone 6 to Hatfield using the forum's ticket site. Am I right in thinking this can be used on any southbound train...

    GWR Pre-settlement offer

    Personally, I found the two offers at the end confusing, not least because they're the same amount. I would phrase that as one offer of £250.60, derived via either method A or method B.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Excellent stuff - will mean I switch most of my ticket purchasing across. But not, I think, on the iPhone.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    I have a feature request that I don't think has been made yet. I often travel triangularly, (A to B to C to A), and often do so on open period returns, knowing that I'd mostly likely be able to use the unused return from, say, B to A, later in the month for another journey, perhaps paired with...

    Refund when choosing not to travel on a delayed train

    Thanks. The context for the question is a last train home with a tight change, which even a few minutes delay might imperil. And so if there's any disruption, I might choose to take another method of transport, or stay over, rather than risk getting stuck for ages in the middle waiting for...

    Refund when choosing not to travel on a delayed train

    If a train is delayed, and I choose not to travel, I understand I'm entitled to a refund of the ticket. If the journey was to be covered by the return leg of a day return ticket, is the refund due (before admin charge) half of the price of the ticket, or the difference between a day single and a...

    GTR Thameslink Witness Statement Receipt - Wrong Tickets for 44 Journeys

    Well, if the OP didn't tell them that they always start from Farringdon, and they don't notice the lack of scan at St Pancras, then these might look like legitimate St Pancras to Welwyn. I agree that with all the facts they are entitled to conclude these were intentional ticket avoidance...

    GTR Thameslink Witness Statement Receipt - Wrong Tickets for 44 Journeys

    Ah, you're quite right, my apologies. And no, Farringdon is not a London Terminal. So when you say you bought tickets from St Pancras 'due to fear of being overcharged via Trainline', what you mean is you didn't want to pay the extra couple of quid to travel from Farringdon to St Pancras...

    GTR Thameslink Witness Statement Receipt - Wrong Tickets for 44 Journeys

    OK, so just to be clear you tap out at Farringdon when changing on to Thameslink? Presumably you use one of the readers on a platform, rather than passing through barriers to leave the station and then go back in? Something doesn't make sense here because the fare from Farringdon to Welwyn is...

    GWR standing between first class carriages

    I’m on a very crowded five coach Paddington service which just left Oxford. It’s standing room only including down the middle of the train, and the situation has not been helped by two RPIs who at Oxford prevented people boarding between D (half first) and E (all first), fairly aggressively...
