And do we, for completeness, know how many buses are currently operating in the Merseyside area?

And as the OP's wife is still in the prosecution period, I think our general advice is to give the personal details that they have asked for. Happy to be corrected if people think a different approach is better. <Edit to add> And in the circumstances of wanting to avoid stress etc., I would...

And in case it isn't clear - 'out of court settlements' don't appear on DBS or form a criminal record. Settling out of court is a private arrangement between you and the railway. It's only if you go to court (even if that's done by post through the 'Single Justice Procedure') that you need to...

Do you mean the Railcard was expired when you were caught, or that it's expired now? If it was expired when you were caught, then I wouldn't bother mentioning it. If it was valid at that point, then do tell them. Also, we'll be able to give you better advice if you can show us the letter you...

Now have a look at the facts of that case and show that in that case Rather than that (per the BBC report)

Evidence please.

Plus a payment to cover the cost of their investigation. While it might be higher or it might be lower, expect the costs to be around £150 on top of the fares.

If you use paid for parking, then does that provide a record of when you have parked there (e.g. through RingGo)? <Edited to add> It's also worth bearing in mind that if you get back to the railway and say something like 'I drive to Marsden for the cheaper fares' then at this stage it's...

It's worth comparing this with CPIH, which I think is a standard measure of inflation, but more to the point is the first one that Google gave me. According to https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/l522/mm23, the CPIH index in August 2020 was 108.8, and in July 2026...

That's a symptom, not a cause. There's no type of ticket called an 'open return'. So Trainline are able to say 'open return' without being tied down by any pesky definition. The problem is that their customers assume that there is a definition.

What we have seen is that teaching is generally not too concerned about fare dodging. And if becoming a teacher is a long term plan, then keeping your nose clean between now and then will make it much easier to explain to a training institution and school that you have learnt your lesson and...

In a legal sense, I don't think this necessarily follows. As I understand it, once franchising is in place, the X2 will only be able to operate in Merseyside if the authority give it a permit to operate. So the authority could refuse to give it a permit. Whether, in a practical sense, the...

Or, as a third possibility, that the railway has made a mess of things? At least consider the possibility of cock-up before concluding it's conspiracy.

But if the idea is for it to be irrelevant to the user whether their public transport runs on roads or on rails, then 'Metrobus' is somewhat unhelpful.

The problem I see with this is that I can't see any business being prepared to agree an anonymous free pass. In the first place, I imagine whoever received it would feel doubtful about it, and if then asked to rationalise the doubt they would probably say something like 'without knowing who is...

We'll know it's caught on in Merseyside when people start talking about 'the Metty'. [Disclaimer: I live in Merseyside, and have done for 29 years. So I think I have some right to comment on how scousers might talk about their public transport system.]

Looking ahead, I can see a problem on the X2/47 corridor when Sefton comes into franchising. I assume (maybe wrongly) that the services will be scheduled to give roughly a 15 minute service rather than the current two buses in competition every half hour: but there would certainly be confusion...

Thanks. I think I understand now. So Is perhaps something of an overreaction to having to take a ticket when paying by card.

It could indeed be as simple as me not understanding what you mean by 'tap and go'. So please could you explain what it means, so that I learn something?

Are these correct? What I see on the Merseytravel website at https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travel-updates/bus-changes/new-tickets-and-prices/ is Which to me says that tap and go (without capping) should be available now. If it's not, then that's an awful failure, but will it be long term or...
