Completely true. The other day I went to Manchester Victoria, saw my train from Piccadilly back home was cancelled so I said to the guy "hi, can you let me through the gate please, I need this for a Delay Repay - if I put my ticket in the gate, it'll take the ticket" (because I was split...

Looking at my 3 most recent Avanti bookings, it doesn't even tell you what type of card you need! Just says: Collection reference number: XXXXXXXX With no other info

Oh yeah, I’ve seen these at Liverpool Lime Street, except when I scanned my card, it said I had no valid ticket on it!

A quick trip to the station this evening shows that the station building has been replaced with… just a fence and a gate. There is a “hole in the wall” for the ticket office. Ticket machines and PIS screen in working order.

Does the LNER website not have a seat selector?

Once I went on Avanti and missed the connection due to it being 10 late. Waited for the next connecting service to my destination 30 mins after. It was due to arrive at my destination exactly 30 minutes after the original train, but, as it was 15 seconds early, Avanti decided to give me the...

Mid-Cheshire Line. ~10 min turnaround at Manchester but a 45+ min turnaround at Chester.

Go to TPE website, log in, press "view bookings", then press "Make a seat/bike reservation" You can reserve for any TOC.

Merseyrail obviously still does magstripe.

Just booked my fair share of sale tickets. Where there weren't sale tickets, I did have to "bridge the gap" with Off Peak, or normal Advance tickets. Wigan - Carlisle £7.50 Carlisle - Barrow £1.50 Crewe - Llandudno £5.70 each way Hartford - Birmingham £4.00 each way

On many routes Northern had four "sale" tickets in tiers for 10p, 50p, £1 and £1.50, called "SALE ADVANCE". The top tier of £1.50 has been renamed to "GBR Sale", so it's possible that there will be another one of their £1 ticket sales, but instead it's £1.50.

Yes, it is. I purchased a Doncaster PlusBus and could use it on the tram no problem. Same with a Wolverhampton PlusBus, it is valid within the whole West Mids area, so you can use it as far as Coventry.

That explains why the Train Manager was doing the FC catering on my train a couple weeks ago!

I've managed to buy a standard premium from a WMT station before, and also on the LNER website

Avanti has removed their super off peak tickets between the West Midlands and London. The only super off peak fares for Avanti that remain would be between Milton Keynes and London

I wonder if I'll ever get my refund from LNER.

Just tried a different station. “Sorry, they only do them day rangers in standard class.”

Difference between the standard day single (£15.20) and first day single (£16.90) if you have a ranger ticket.

Unsuccessful. Got the Cheshire day ranger but no upgrade. I’ll try another ticket office.
