I'd buy the Off Peak Day Return fro Milton Keynes to Watford. There are no afternoon restrictions with this ticket and starting short at Hemel on the return is fine.

Personally, there’s no need to contact a solicitor at this stage. Wait and see what Chiltern say first and if that’s not favourable then that would be the time to involve a solicitor. I know it’s easy to say but there’s nothing you can do now until you get a letter from Chiltern. Try and put...

Interestingly, the eNRT (table 135) shows that there is no 1st class on the 12:01 from Truro to Penzance (the 09:26 from Exeter St Davids). My understanding is it is the GB Passenger Timetable (now known as the eNRT) that is authoratitive in this situation rather than any 'locally produced'...

If you can vary the days you work in the office eg Wednesday, Thursday, Friday followed by Monday and Tuesday the following week then a 7-day season ticket is worth considering. Costs £135.10 for 7-days.

One thing that will change on the website is reference to First MTR South Western Trains Limited and the sections 'about us' that refer to First Group and MTR.

If they scanned your ticket this will link it to your account, so all they need to do is obtain the ticket purchase history for that account.

In that case I think the best option will be a return from Milton Keynes to Watford Junction £15.70 with a railcard Then contactless or Oyster from Watford Met to Chesham £2.10 (off Peak) or £2.30 (peak). Whatever the bus costs (max £3) Start short on the return portion of the MKC-WFJ ticket to...

I've not checked journey times but it might be faster and cheaper to go via Euston. Take a non-stop LNR train from MKC to EUS (35 mins) walk to Euston Square and the take the Met to Chesham. I've not checked fares but you could buy a return to Euston and then use contactless or Oyster from...

Is there definitely no other paperwork in the same envelope? When close to the sox month deadline some train companies have been known to send both court papers and an offer of an out of court settlement.

Doesn't the Excess Fare supposed to say valid with ticket XXXXX, so in theory there's a way it can be traced. It does assume that the person selling the excess has entered the ticket number correctly....

Welcome to the forum! This is an interesting case. Officially only Advance tickets can be changed via the Seatfrog app. The Super Off Peak Single ticket that you purchase between Kings Cross and Newark is not valid on trains timed to depart Kings Cross between 14:59 and 18:59 (18:15 on...

It's been a while since I've seen a reply as poor as this, I thought train comanies had stamped this sort of nonsense out.

Chiltern will almost certainly settle but it helps if your letter says the right sort of things. It on the right sort of lines but needs a bit of refinement. I normally suggest these sort of letters mention: - That you are sorry for what has happened - What you have learned from the incident...

Welcome to the forum! As noted above we really need some more information to be able to advise properly, including redacted copies of all the paperwork, emails etc. My initial observations: I'd be surprised if both Euston and Preston staff said just renew the railcard. Personally I think...

Welcome to the forum! Just to clarify the position and your options. You basically have two choices: 1. Do nothing. Greater Anglia will continue to write to you threatening police involvement, prosecution for fraud etc. The important principle here is that purchasing tickets is not illegal...

GTR Prosecutions Dep\rtment won't deal with any thing over the phone. The letter was sent less than a week ago so I'm not surprosed you haven't heard anything yet.

Moderator Note: I've merged a couple of threads started by @led210 as they seem to refer to the same incident so that discussion relating to the case is in one place.

I've loaded a Stevenage to London Zones 1-6 Travelcard onto a LNER smartcard at a GTR ticket machine but as far as I know you cannot do this online. I'm sure you could do this at a LNER ticket machine which would get you the AMEX deal but that would mean you'd have to do this at Kings Cross or...

Welcome to the forum! Legally speaking, travelling with a railcard discounted ticket when you don't have a valid railcard makes the ticket invalid, which is a criminal offence. GWR are entitled to prosecute you in the Magistrates Court if they want to. The good news is they normally offer an...

In my experience on Cardiff event days there's usually a queueing system in place at Paddington for each train. Passengers with seat reservations go in one queue and are let on first. There's another queue for those without reservations who are allowed to board in limited numbers after those...
