    MG11 issued pls help

    So that's the true version Neither version is likely to convince anyone - don't put anything like that in your reply to the letter when it comes. Loads of people try to cheat the railway. When they are found out, the train company will most likely investigate their travel history, and this may...

    Help me find this rail route (Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh or beyond)

    Your description sounds a bit like the view from west of Waverley on the Castle side.

    Thameslink Short Fare

    Sit right - so long as you can access your post at the address you gave. 6-7 weeks isn't particularly long

    London to Exeter SWR Advance Ticket

    This quotation (I presume from SWR) is interesting, because arguably the 1130 departure at Cranbrook (and thereafter) has been cancelled. Is this a point worth making?

    Fare evasion

    Thanks. £30.40 is the single fare, so the Admin charge is £55.10 which seems typical for GTR and is similar to a Penalty Fare level.

    Practicalities of a Day Trip - York - Keighley?

    The inspection saloon (or route refreshing? Glasgow-Carlisle-Sunderland-York) was indeed Caroline - seen at Newcastle about 1500 same day. Glad you enjoyed the KWVR, though the one-train timetable does limit opportunities somewhat.

    Pyjama Party to save the NightJet

    First step would be to lengthen the Brussels-Vienna portion which is a lot cheaper than running a second short set. Second step would be to rejig the Amsterdam and Brussels routes to allow Amsterdam-Innsbruck and Brussels-Vienna to share a common trunk through Germany (this is assuming that...

    The future of the Heathrow Express

    That's pretty much the case. A 110 path requires an extra 2.5min to Dolphin Jn compared with an IET - upgrading Dolphin might make 1min difference but not enough to create a path.

    Northern Travel Incident Report - Incorrect Information

    Your DOB won't make a difference (unless it makes you just over 18). You can contact Northern giving the TIR reference to advise the correct address. If the address on your driving licence is wrong, it needs changing anyway as it is an offence not to do so.

    What train would run Brussels to Belgium?

    Happens in Switzerland as well.

    Platform 4 at Preston Park station.

    If you need to regulate trains towards Hove you have 3 options: Cliftonville Spur, Hove platforms (all bi-di), Preston Pk P2 (sending up trains via P1, definitely the worst option!). You could have used P3, sending Brighton trains via P4, but with two good alternatives I can see why it was...

    WMT Penalty Fare

    With respect, you can certainly not buy after boarding on TfL services, so I wouldn't pursue that line of defence, sorry :)

    Dispute a valid Adult Network ticket - Birmingham to Coventry

    Thanks. I suggest your second appeal doesn't comment on the ticket officer at all, however justified - it's just a distraction.

    Dispute a valid Adult Network ticket - Birmingham to Coventry

    You need to respond quickly as you only have 14 days. Keep it brief, eg. The ground for issuing the PF is given as "no supporting document." The ticket (attached) is an Adult ticket. There is no requirement for a supporting document. The ticket was therefore valid for travel. Please...

    ECML - 22 Nov

    When I attempted to select tickets for that date, the information was at the top of the page.

    Chathill services

    I have just returned from a week in Alnmouth so am slightly more au fait than I was. Pathing might well be a problem, and platform lengths with the TPE units. I was on the 1614 off Newcastle on Wednesday; it did decent business at both Morpeth (despite being just after a stopper) and Alnmouth...

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    Weekend trains are Deli menu only :(

    Why are TfL's Zone 1 Day Off-Peak Travelcards so absurdly overpriced?

    Railcard discount can relatively easily be applied to Oyster.

    IC 2546 Dresden Hbf to Berlin Hbf

    Must be a CJ set then. Logical as Bad Schandau-Decin is blocked.
