hi, any help most welcomed, my daughter and her partner bought a thru ticket off Trainline between STOKE ON TRENT and EDINBURGH on Nov.8th dep. stoke at 0812 to Crewe, then the 0909 Virgin to Edinburgh. Whilst they waited from 0740 it kept showing as delayed 8mins, to 30mins, as they needed to...

hi, I see the Rail Delivery Group have got the train companies to cut a amount of jargon off tickets, on 1.1 million routes, such as permitted routes only, London terminals and route direct, that could cut a bit of this forums work load... Sorry about posting it here but I thought this is...

A slight thread drift, but as I mentioned in my original post we had some specials into Crewe works, there were the Midland Pullman, in the early 60's, Coronation Scot the Duchess of Hamilton when I saw it all the streamlining plates were stacked by it, I thought i'm glad i'm not replacing...

hi, as a old Crewe works man, I have a memory of the above loco entering the works, possible for checks and the word was it was being shipped to Russia. Back in the 60/70's being a semi lapsed spotter, anything special ie named loco's or specials always warranted a cab and walk thru... with...

because I boarded at Longport, and I was traveling on a Staff Travel Card, also regarding batteries running out of power the train was the 0605 first service of the day, that train couples onto another at Derby to go on to Nottingham, but I think it changes guard...

hi, I've been using the railways for 60 odd yrs, but this is a first for a few years, I was on a East Midlands 2 car from Crewe to Derby when the guard welcomed all passengers, but said due to technical difficulties there would be no tickets available cause I can't get the machine working...

Credit where it deserves it, I boarded the 1116 Luton airport parkway to London Bridge train on 8/9/18, it had 12 coaches and it was packed except as the guard announced the last 2coaches then after an influx of people at St.Albans he said there were still seats at the rear but first class was...

hi, very interesting views, and I agree with some, but logicaly a,what is the delay-repay given for- a passenger or his ticket for a journey delayed or cancelled. b, if two people sit by each other on a train ones using a free pass the other has paid a full standard ticket if their train is...

hi ttt, but as we are delayed, are we not being discriminated against? although no fare has been paid, it is in lieu of a monetary pay award... so could it be calculated on the cheapest journey available.

sorry for late reply, i'm having yahoo trouble again... I was made redundant, but with 28yrs service, so entitled to 16 passes...

At least we don't have to give up our seats (if we've got one) to any passenger standing now, so I suppose that a bonus...

hi, my first post and apologies if not in the right place, when I retired I qualified thru years of service for 16 "boxes". My first noteable delay/cancellation happened recently, it was the 1635 Bath spa to Portsmouth harbour was 8mins late arriving at Bath we boarded and at 1655 after a...
