I think that's enough of this thread. OP has received some suggestions, which I am sure they will take further or not at all.

Just ignore them.

Just to clarify for others reading this thread, simply having too much/heavy luggage is not an appropriate use of Passenger Assist, and people misusing it just because they have brought too much luggage for them to handle by themselves only makes it more difficult for those who really need it...

Correct! Or the operator has deemed you not worthy of a reservation, either via incompetence or intentionally.

Unless they were attempting to avoid a higher fare. Quite sure you wouldn't get away with it here..!

You can use the seat selector to pick your seat across multiple split tickets.

My understanding is that there's some kind of long-standing arrangement where tickets to Leeds are accepted at Wakefield, including for advances. I know no details about it, other than I saw some hint about something like this recently.

Alternatively, they could be scanned instead! :p

No, they don't.

Why? There's no rate limits or usage limits on the RDM API.

I must say, I greatly enjoyed travelling in these and not paying for a reservation. Nice big windows (though not panoramic), and very few other people! You also got a view out the drivers cab (at least when the Italian driver takes over...).

This shouldn't be the passenger's problem to care about! And I'm glad you've highlighted the viable and sensible solution. :) My issue isn't particularly with the OAOs being excluded, but more the local concession operators like Elizabeth Line, Overground, Merseyrail, and also the devolved...

...or a ticket to Kentish Town!

I'd like to keep my Thameslink Only pricing, please. In all honesty, I expect GTR to take Oval as an excuse to reform these fares.

For the benefit of OP (@BankQuayLowLvl), you may wish to buy a ticket to the other side of London, such as Kentish Town for £44.80, in future. These allow you to travel into Victoria, including on Gatwick Express, or on Thameslink anywhere between London Bridge and St Pancras, and cost less...

I have seen communications between TOC pricing managers and DfT where they have had to request permission to correct anomalies (mistakes) due to the fares freeze. I also doubt the DfT would refuse to permit a TOC to correct a clear error, or closing an obvious loophole.

The crossed out Peterborough - Sandy train under "Amended" makes me think the LNER form is quite confused and thinks that train was also cancelled when it wasn't. I then think it's compared the delayed arrival time at Peterborough with the scheduled arrival at Sandy, and produced a negative...

I'll refer back to @Adam Williams's post which I wholeheartedly agree with: Every time I've seen this, it has been the TOC doing poor things to services in the timetable, or some other mistake or misunderstanding of industry systems. I bet some people took joy in blaming Trainline when a...

SWR call their Anytime Returns "Anytime Open Returns" within the industry data, so I think it's a little unfair to say it's a retailer doing their own thing when they have no choice in the matter! :p https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=PMS&dest=WAT&grpo=0440&grpd=1072&tkt=OR2...

Probably for the best, as so many rail tickets are ""valid"" on these buses according to the routeing guide data. There's no way to make them invalid in most cases, either, without changes to the data feed which I have suggested but have gone nowhere as you might expect.
