That was an example, it was a Wednesday around 3pm
Outbound
It doesn't reconcile until about a day after travel.

I'm sorry, I used a CRS database

KNG - Kingston

I travelled WBY to KNG via WIM using TAP2GO with a SNR loaded. SWR charged me a travel card cost of £19.30, I think it should be £10.90 or even £7.65
I touched in at WBY and out at KNG and again touched in at KNG and out at WBY. The gateline at KNG opened for exit and re-entry
An off peak...
For those of us that don't live and breathe Pandrol clips
Can someone explain the systems of protection where and when they are used from
detonators, Short circuit bar, 15/200/20 advice, DRA ,AWS, TPWS, TPWS+ and any others
These terms confuse me . Why isn't there just one system in use on all...
Thanks. I will continue getting a Travelcard that is usually cheaper unless I only make a single TFL return journey.

hopefully the "authoritative" answer.
Dear G,
Thank you for getting in touch with us. Unfortunately, the Pink Readers are for Oyster Products to determine the Zones...
So can I travel say Woking to Clapham junction on SWR TAP2Go exit on pink reader and start journey on Overground using a contactless and the reverse on the way back?
This is what I have done previously. I'm hoping the system might become a bit more joined up. My dream of having a single smartcard or even just a contactless bank card that could be linker to a railcard, maybe a retained privilege (gold status pass) that I could use on any transport in the...
SWR updated their app recently, and said I had to create a new password and re enrol any payment cards that I did back in March. I'm worried what happens if a board a train but the card hasn't been validated. I have tried this with a travel card on a smartcard that I haven't touched in and the...
Imagine I’ve travelled from Woking to Clapham junction using a TAP2GO card.
Can I exit SWR on the pink reader, enter on a contactless take an overground, return touch out on the pink reader and touch back in using the TAP2GO and go back to say platform 9 and back to Woking?
What I've been...
Two cab videos appeared on YT recently

This is a continuous travel authority a touch in/out type card. Other than the reader saying "journey started" or "Journey ended" during travel I don't any feeling that I have a valid ticket like I would with a paper one.
As I said...
Thanks all
Most of the time when travelling by rail I carry my phone, a backup phone and various smartcards, contactless bank cards, a powerbank, leads and a bottle of water, hand sanitizer, latex gloves, folding walking stick and far too much stuff.
I have a digital railcard on my phone with photo, text and a barcode that revenue protection have scanned and said that's OK.
I also have a GBR smartcard where I touch in at a station and out somewhere else and after several journeys in a day/week/month it calculates a discount and deducts my...
Janedoe: People are trying to help. You came here and asked.
I used to work in RP and often I erred believing the passenger and giving them a 2nd chance (unless I had documented evidence of frequent fare evasion, or using wrong railcard, short starting/stopping etc.) You might consider a £2...
Thanks
Network rail used to give them to several local allotments but there were concerns about creosote, preservatives and poo after an environmental health person took some samples and recommended that they only be use where crops were not grown. My shed is build on a raft of old sleepers.
Recently I noticed very old wooden sleepers being replaced with new wooden sleepers and wondered why they weren't using concrete or something else.
I asked the project manager and his unhelpful and suspicious answer was "It was requested by engineering, if you have any concerns ......."
