Welcome to the forum! I'm a nit confused about what's happened. You mentioned that you couldn't collect a ticket purchased online from the ticket machine at St Neots. Did this ticket cover the entire length of your journey? Or was it a short ticket that you were then going to use with a St...

Advance tickets (not to be confused with a 'normal' off-peak ticket purchased in advance of the day of travel) can only be used on the booked train. Assuming you're getting a flight into Heathrow if you book a specific train there is a risk that you will miss the train if your flight is...

I wouldn't recommend Advance tickets on the return journey if the OP is flying in to Heathrow.

There shouldn't be anything stopping anyone from catching a later train if they want to. But not everyone can do this, sometimes it's simply not an option for a variety of reasons. There might not be a train a couple of hours later If there is a later train there might not be seats available...

What if there are no reservations left today, or tomorrow, or for several days? This is highly likely to happen when we get major disruption. You can't just leave thousands of people stranded (that's what it could end up being in the event of major disruption). Cramming on isn't ideal but...

There's no need to use National Rail first. An Off Peak Day Travelcard is only valid for one day, so you'd need to of them. One dated for the day of your outward journey, the other for the day of your return. Rochester to London Zones 1-6 Off Peak Day Travelcard is £29.90 (£19.70 with a...

Do make sure you keep a copy of the ticket you used, as it might be needed to show that your ticket was valid. You are likely to receive a letter from Northern that uses quite threatening language. When it arrives pop back here and post a copy of it in this thread and we will be happy to...

Yes, Travelcards are valid on the Elizabeth Line to Heathrow. Here's an example that I've used that I think applies to you. I needed to travel from Stevenage to Heathrow on a Sunday for a flight, returning the following Sunday. The cheapest way of doing this way was to buy a Stevenage to...

How will compulsory reservations work when there is disruption? Things like Sunday afternoon at Euston when everything was down the pan and loads of cancellations. Is the industry really going to say 'sorry no reservation you're not travelling' when services start to resume? If so, what is...

I can only tell you my experience. I generally don't use air con but do use it on the hottest of days and when I do so (from a fully charged battery) I generally lose about 30 miles of range. I've not managed to charge from 20% to 80% in under 45 minutes, anywhere (remember I have a 64kW...

Where you are using a time-restricted Ticket (such as an “off-peak” or “super-off-peak” Ticket) that is correctly dated but invalid for the service on which you are travelling you should be charged the difference between the fare that you have paid and the lowest price Ticket that is valid for...

The wording of this 'Operational Update' makes it look as though what happened was just a procedural error, these people were guilty anyway but we used the SJPN system instead of a summons. There's no mention that many of those charged with a s5.1 offence had a defence because they gave their...

Welcome to the forum! As long as Greater Anglia have your correct contact details I would not contact them, it is their job to contact you. Sometimes it can take quite a while for the initial letter to arrive. Greater Anglia deal with lots of these issues at any one time, and it is possible...

Depends on the temperature outside but trust me, it knocks about 30 miles off the range when you hit the air con button.

Railcards loaded onto Oyster cards already work very differently to traditional railcard discounted tickets. For example, Gold Card loaded to an Oyster card gives discount on off-peak travel i.e. pre 06:30 which is something not available if you buy a traditional ticket. Conversely, in the...

I'd be surprised if you don't get offered a settlement.

Agreed. A court fines officer will normally allow a payment plan.

I drive a two year-old Hyundai Kona 64kW that I've had from new and is about to hit 50,000 miles. It's a company car so I can't comment on the finance side of things but I have considerable experience of driving it across the country. My observations: - Range depends on time of year. In...

The M1 was lit all the way from its start at Staples Corner to Junction 19 (the junction with the M6 on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border). Since the early 2010s it's almost all been removed. The lighting stanchions were life expired and required renewal so the Government of the day...

Really pleased to hear your trip went well.
