    RMT Industrial Action - Hull Trains

    These are the accounts of Hull Trains and are therefore what Hull Trains Limited is paying its directors and staff. If a director is also a director of another company then any salary from that won’t be included here.

    Tonbridge - Hastings using a ticket to Bexhill

    At St Leonards Warrior Square, but not at Hastings, I would have thought would be hassle-free. At Hastings the barrier staff might not let you through. The barrier is almost always staffed.

    RMT Industrial Action - EMR

    In Southeastern land there are regular 10-car 465/466 combinations, consisting of separate 4 + 4 + 2 car sets, without corridor connections. There's one driver and one guard on mainline routes; and just one driver on DOO metro routes.

    BR 80s: would tickets always be available on direct trains?

    It's reversed because of the relative pricing of Advance fares. Walk up fares from (e.g.) Bristol TM to Newcastle are cheaper "not via London" than they are "Any Permitted".

    Some questions about the 16-25 railcard

    That’s correct. You are not a mature student. If you were over 25, but still a student, then you would be.

    Your under 26, so that’s all that matters.

    Ockley To Rainham (Kent) No Fare & 150% Overcharge Fares

    Hi. To be honest, your best bet is to raise the issues respectfully here and people who are both knowledgeable and helpful will get things done as soon as they can. Some of the right people are already aware. Thanks for raising the issue.

    BR 80s: would tickets always be available on direct trains?

    I think Hull to Brighton via Birmingham would be an even better example. And that came off a Paddington to Hull (via Birmingham) service!

    Flexible Rail Season Tickets - 2/3 days per week to be introduced by June 2021

    Basically, a different product is needed. Flexi-season is not a very customer-centric product.

    Bristol Airport (by bus) Unavailable

    Well, that's what the data say: there's a 40 minute bus transfer from Bristol TM to Bristol Airport, but no schedules - like the time allowed to travel on the tube without giving any actual schedules. I realise the bus to the airport goes rather less frequently than tube trains do though! It...

    TOD collections onboard?

    ToD is more expensive and less reliable. Look at all those out of action Northern TVMs. Listen to all the "I haven't got the card I paid with" stuff.

    Getting new reservations on Cross Country

    That doesn;t sound correct. If you have an Open Return, bought via a corporate account, for instance, and want to add reservations, they should just do it. This has been the practice for years - there is no requirement to go back to the retailer. They should just issue reservations (other TOCs...

    Getting new reservations on Cross Country

    Just ask CrossCountry for new reservations on the train(s) you want to travel on. Leave the existing reservations as is. There is no other simple solution.

    TOD collections onboard?

    People who want to purchase online will have the choice of eTicket or smartcard. People who want to purchase at a station / onboard will get a paper roll ticket. Lots of people travelling will tap in / out with contactless or smart cards as PAYG expands. No need for ToD.

    Restriction QU Cardiff to Tunbridge Wells 08/08/21

    A few quick points: - [to the OP]: strictly speaking, you should follow the itinerary, at least for the National Rail parts, as both services are 'reservable' in the data. On the GWR train you will have a real reservation. On the Southeastern train you won't - it's just a way of managing sales...

    Restriction QU Cardiff to Tunbridge Wells 08/08/21

    What does the price say on your ticket? It should not say £44.01. At the moment I can see a price if £30.30 for this exact journey for an Advance Single.

    LNER compulsory reservations - what happens if you don’t have one?

    I'd be surprised if there are that many schedules (BS records) in the timetable data. Some schedules will cover many services.
