Is this the railway's fault or the ferry operator's issue?

There’s some truth in this but some large inaccuracies. As for logistics it was never fully integrated. Argos stock was never located in the same depots as Sainsbury’s food, the networks operated separately although there was some integration of Sainsbury’s GM with Argos. What you did have was...

Electronics and tech have been harmed by online retail rather than supermarkets. Clothing is interesting as the supermarkets have taken a large share of the market (eg Sainsbury’s is the 6th largest clothing retailer in the UK by volume), but supermarkets tend to sell everyday essential...

I can’t see Sainsbury’s going back to a large GM operation they used to have pre-Argos. Their strategy is ‘food first’ which is showing good results. Even Tesco has stripped out a lot of GM compared to what they stocked years ago. While you never say never, I expect there’ll be long term...

Bizarrely, Finsbury Park to Vauxhall and Finsbury Park to Waterloo are not shown as fixed links in journey planners. Given the hike to the underground at St Pancras this seems like an oversight.

Trust me, that generally wasn't an issue. In many cases it allowed Sainbury's to rationalise their GM ranges - for example Sainsbury's used to sell TVs in their largest stores that took up a large amount of space - a pain in the backside operationally too. Turning that space over to Argos...

Argos would probably have gone bust during Covid had it not have been able to rely on Sainsbury's as a way of continuing to trade via click and collect. Sainbury's removed massive cost from Argos by: Closing many standalone stores with a saving on rent and occupancy costs and staffing costs...

Because it provides some relief against commuting costs for young people at the start of their working lives when they will generally be earning less than later in their career. Take Stevenage to London as an example: Anytime Day Return £28.80 7 Day Season ticket £122.70 A 16-25 or 26-30...

Unfortunately, had you have come across the forum when the incident first occurred forum members would have been able to give you more specific advice. On the wider issue of nationalisation and how fare evasion should be dealt with please do feel free to start a new thread in the appropriate...

They’re not saying that. What they mean is that if your ticket requires collection (i.e. ToD) then you must collect it (i.e. print it) before departure. Merseyrail generally do not have e-tickets enabled for journeys wholly on their network, so someone purchasing online has to collect it from...

This is fine. There is no need for the train to call at the split point of one of the tickets is a season. NRCoT 14.3 applies: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/nrcot/

My recent experience in France is the opposite. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/train-vs-plane.297861/post-7648477

Just to confirm that a Network Railcard cannot be used on a Basingstoke to Manchester ticket, as a Network Railcard is only valid in the Network Railcard area (mainly southeast England). If you used a combination of tickets the. It would be valid on tickets wholly within the Network Railcard...

What was your income in 2009 and how much has it risen since then?

Technically an Oyster ticket stop can do it, but I fear you might find it hard finding one that knows how to do it.

At one point last year I had three discounts applied to my Oyster card! I’ve always found Kings Cross underground station competent in adding the discount. Euston should also be able to do it.

That would be good but the issue is it could be downloaded multiple times across different devices. There’s also the challenge of photos which I don’t think can be downloaded to a phone wallet.

Both London Overground and Elizabeth Line are covered by the NRCoT. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/appendix-a/ Arriva Rail London is now First Rail London following a franchise change but that doesn't change the overall position.

There are operations that can be done to make sure that someone with a Lancaster to London ticket has boarded at Lancaster and hasn't started short at Preston.

Historically break of journey was not allowed on the outward portion of Saver Returns, what we now call Off Peak Returns. This was largely removed in the 2008 ‘simplification’ but some prohibitions still remain. It’s not defined as far as I know but I would say it’s a facility on railway...
