I was wondering about this Teutonic numbering system, so had a bit of a search. Munich (looks to be 3 stations in 1): platforms 1-17 Hamburg: platforms 1-14 Mannheim: platforms 1-12 Hamburg and Mannheim are missing some numbers in the middle for unplatformed tracks. Imagine my disappointment...

Thankfully the railway is solving this problem with optically scanned tickets which don't open the gates instead.

Because people have experienced other ticket gates retaining their tickets.

Hmm. National Rail Enquiries site doesn't go to 11 December yet, but searching for Carlisle to Tring on 4 December finds a cheap advance single fare for the 18:46, but when it redirects to the Avanti booking site it gives an error. How annoying!

Appears so. Put the via points in on Trainsplit and it offers this ticket.

I can't seem to find an 18:46 from Carlisle, there is an 18:51 though?

"Someone's talked about that in the past so let's not again" makes for an unusual sort of forum. This could move to the previous thread were it not for the forum's slightly schizophrenic approach of frowning on "off topic" discussion while simultaneously closing old threads where discussion...

Apps / websites which don't remember your preferences are annoying. All the ticket buying apps on my phone remember if you used a railcard last time, including Trainsplit. But hey, it's Trainline and they're evil or something.

That's going to be the same in any city you don't know, surely?

I would also recommend asking the guard. Many, but not all will be of course, TFW guards are pragmatic rather than jobsworths in my experience.

How would he have known your exit station, given you had an Oyster card rather than a ticket with a specific station, and you "sat in silence" until you left?

This feels very strange given that the vast majority of TFL passengers are using contactless or Oyster, with physical tickets a small minority. Oyster was introduced 23 years ago, so I can't help but suspect there is more to this than we're given.

Where it will look exactly the same as a ticket added from a PDF scan, or a screenshot.

Hmm, East / West is silly because it's not used elsewhere (yes, it is silly), but Platform 406 isn't silly?

The first of those posts is a very old case where a retailer messed up, not a ticket checker. The second post is a forum member stating something which isn't (and has never been) true.

No, they won't quibble. Android has done this for a long time. If the code scans, nobody cares what the app or anything else around it looks like.

Regardless of how something is designed, if you've felt the need to name things blue/red/green/A-end/B-end, you've failed.

Thames Water is a private company, not a quango. I think most people would prefer it to be a quango, but it isn't.

This is the new "GTR can't have brand specific fares," isn't it? I suspect it'll run a similar way too.

Five years out of date, but here's a list, "the top 73 highest earners at Network Rail earn a combined total of £15 million per year": https://www.tssa.org.uk/find-your-company/network-rail/news/nr-top-bosses-and-what-they-are-paid We're biased on here by our interest and like of the railway...
