    I have a Bahncard expiring in late Nov but no desire for the auto renew. Has anyone successfully used the online form to request a cancellation on one of these? The site seems broken to me.

    "Rail.Ninja": un-accredited UK ticket retailer?

    These guys appear to be "selling" UK rail tickets via their site (along with European rail tickets). Internet is full of 1 star reviews. There is no way the website could've passed accreditation, it can only sell tickets for about 5 UK stations; no support for railcards, ability to buy tickets...

    Veterans Railcard - can passengers be confident they're sold the cheapest fare?

    I've been testing this railcard recently with 2 adults, 1 child. I'd expect the child to receive 60% discount, the adults to both receive 34% off. Looking at SDS, Leamington Spa - Coventry Arena. This seems to be .. variably handled across accredited booking sites. Assertis ("Railsmartr") -...

    Trivia: stations which "discriminate" against passengers holding e-Tickets

    Using "discriminate" very loosely here but I'm interested in (National Rail) stations with gatelines where there is at least one gate that accommodates customers holding CCST (orange credit-card sized) tickets but not barcoded tickets (I don't really care about ITSO for this discussion), meaning...

    Is it me or are the static pages that display restriction codes just completely broken at the moment? It should literally be a page with some static text on it describing a ticket's restrictions. How do you screw up something so basic that pax will be relying on en-route? You could literally...

    PlusBus - is it £2 this month or not?

    http://www.plusbus.info/offers And yet.. Is this likely to be a problem with West Midlands Railway? Do other TOCs honour this promotion? Edit: This appears to be caused by the railcard.. Adding the 16-25 railcard bumps up the price of the PLUSBUS ticket. If you try and buy a ticket...

    Kenilworth -> Hereford permitted routes

    Sadly the calculator is broken so I'm directly looking at the routeing guide for this journey. Kenilworth seems to be associated with the Leamington Spa and Coventry routeing points. I'm looking at this fare (marked any permitted) and wondering if I can travel via Leamington Spa on the weekend...

    Restriction code: VTWC App M-Ticket

    Anyone know where to find the restriction code for an m-Ticket purchased through the app? It tells me my ticket is an "Off peak return" but that's not particularly helpful or specific. I can probably guess based on what's available to buy for the route but I feel like this should be available...

    Basingstoke -> Crewe direct?

    It appears possible to travel directly from Crewe to Basingstoke twice a day, e.g. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C10883/2018/01/03/advanced http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C10921/2018/01/03/advanced I was surprised to see these services, since all travel from CRE -> BSK I'd done...
