I don't think it is defined. If there's a double back involved, I'd say no chance. But I intend to use one at some point to tick off the new(ish) station at Beaulieu Park. Not expecting any issues.

I think in Manchester you have to specifically ask for it, but they issue a ticket for £2 that is a hopper ticket. London £1.75 tap in gets you unlimited bus tap ons for an hour.

To be fair, London and Manchester very much do. But aside from those two cities, and any more I'm not aware of, I agree entirely!

Things like that are an excellent example of great community policing. OBVIOUSLY I'm not suggesting Police officers become taxi drivers, they have far better things to be doing. But they're preventing potential issues later on, ensuring safety of the public and gaining the respect to be...

I was thinking more with potential EES delays really. I'm no stranger to that particular move. Though it normally does take me around 1hr 6 due to stopping in 'Spoons!

I'm on the 18:40 from Amsterdam on Monday. Had an email from Eurostar to say the train is now going to arrive into St. Pancras 30 minutes later than scheduled at 22:27. I'm planning to connect onto the 23:33 up to Leeds. Has anyone been through Amsterdam with the new EES yet? Is it worth me...

I had an e ticket last week, travelling on GWR between Exeter and Plymouth. About 15 of us were on a late running SWR service and watched our planned XC connection leave as the doors were released. The GWR TM allowed us to travel once someone said the SWR was late in. I don't know if they've...

FWIW, I noticed a bookies at Dresden Hbf last night. Plenty of custom. And what certainly looked like one at Košice today. Couldn't tell for certain it was a bookies. But given I saw someone literally run into it, I kind of hope it wasn't.

I'd be amazed if some of the Paris metro staff who used to (and probably still do!) often try and "help" you buy the most expensive ticket possible weren't on commission. Only came across it once, and it wasn't even somewhere particularly central. I'd intended to pay by cash but didn't think...

Coach D and often coach A on the Scottish services have the majority of unreserved seats. But there isn't a wholly unreserved coach, unlike Avanti.

Most of the stations between Salford Crescent and Kirkby via Atherton tbh! To top it off, you're likely to be on one of the worst units still running too.

Well, it's buy a ticket or you WILL be paying the £10 onboard fare! AFAIK, it's perfectly legitimate to board a tram and just pay that, it's not a penalty fare in the way they are in England/Wales. But yes, it's quite a contrast to the Metro that's for sure. I remember being on a tram in...

Has it ever been decided if the passenger has an obligation to report delay repay overpayments? Interesting to hear at least one TOC does indeed have a mechanism to take them back, suggests it probably happens quite a bit. It's not the same, but I did once report to Avanti that I'd bought a...

When you say "banned"... Do you mean: You were refused travel on that occasion, due to not having the means to pay. You were asked to leave for being abusive to staff or some other reason beyond the travel irregularity. Or you were genuinely told you were banned permanently in addition to...

What are the odds of that eh?

As much as I'm not keen on the idea, surely a betting shop looking for a site in Sunderland would just take up another no doubt vacant premises if refused? Let them have it, it'll create new jobs in a town that needs employment.

Surely once it's been the specific period, which I believe is generally 6 months, crew will have to re-sign the route. Even if they've had taxis to the other side, that won't cover them for the tunnel.

Understatement of the millennium!

I once had someone get given my room in the Travelodge in Croydon. I was in bed and the door opened. The guy apologised and said he'd just checked in and obviously was given that room. Obviously wasn't his fault. I complained the next morning and was given a drink there and then, and a voucher...

I assume Metrolink use Body Worn Cameras?
