To add to what @yorkie has said, compensation is payable where a combination of tickets has been used. I've regularly claimed, and been paid, delay repay compensation using a combination of tickets. GTR's Passenger Charter says...

Yes, that's right.

Many train companies are experiencing some significant delays in processing cases at the moment.

GTS Rail Operations Limited (a joint venture between Go Ahead Group, Tokyo Metro and Sumitomo Corporation) took over operation of the Elizabeth Line from MTR Corporation (Crossrail) Limited in May 2025. The contract is for seven years with the option to extend for a further two years.

A very difficult and tragic day for staff and passengers involved. Very little going through the core towards the GN side during the evening peak. Thankfully LNER was running normally to Stevenage. I wonder how willing they will be to convey passengers between Kings Cross and Stevenage when...

Various reasons. At my local station railcard discounted tickets and Advance tickets are set to be rejected by the ticket barriers so that a manual inspection can take place.

Paper Till Roll tickets have been being rolled out for around the last 8 or 9 years. Interestingly I was sold a PRT ticket for a journey I made last Saturday which, when folded in half, was almost exactly credit card sized. Meant I could scan it at the barrier without having to remove it from...

I don’t think there’s any benefit in buying from Chiltern, other than Chiltern benefitting from the commission on selling the ticket. Any station in the Gold Card area should be able to sell it.

I don't think the £100 limit has anything to do with it. Transit mode works differently to 'normal' contactless. The issue with a nationwide contactless zone is what would the maximum charge be? Say someone doesn't touch in at Penzance but travels to and touches out at Wick what would the...

Speed modifiers and peak modifiers along with the algebraic equation don’t sound at all simple to me! Going back to my Scarborough to Whitby question, if you base the fare on the shortest route by rail, will the fare be competitive with the frequent bus service between Scarborough and Whitby?

I see you've still not answered my questions... Scarborough to Whitby is 17 miles as the crow flies. I think this means the charge would be 35p per mile which would make the fare £11.90 or £7.90 with a railcard. To travel by train between Scarborough and Whitby you must travel via York...

So we’ve got: Greater Anglia 12th October West Midlands Trains 1st February GTR 31st May Then: GWR Chiltern Both to follow at a date to be determined by the Secretary of State (presumably later 2026) Which by my reckoning leaves: Avanti CrossCountry EMR to transfer in 2027

It’s good to see them mention the Network Railcard in their passenger comms!

I can’t see a thread about this, but today is the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, largely recognised as the birth of the modern railway. The railway has had a massive impact on the way we live and work. It brings people together and moves goods to where...

Essentially, it means that the hours worked in weeks 1,2,3 and 4 are paid at the end of week 5. Hours worked in weeks 5,6,7 and 8 are paid at the end of week 9 etc. They will try and adjust for overtime and sickness in the correct pay period but if you did overtime in week 4 then there might...

You still haven’t answered the questions I asked in post #55. You make some interesting proposals, but I would like to know more about the questions I posed.

This! The Women’s Rugby World Cup final on Saturday needs to be avoided, and TNT Sport won’t want more than two matches on Friday night or Sunday, hence moving a match to Thursday.

I don’t believe RSTL requires a card to collect a ToD. Perhaps someone who has more experience in this area can confirm.

It would give fare evaders a big opportunity to doughnut. I get why platform validators might be useful at somewhere like East Croydon (a good split point for Gatwick) but I'm struggling to think of the reason for needing to do this at London Bridge.

But what are the answers to my questions?
