It's worth noting that the £22 Virgin only fare is also valid on the return bit on all Virgin Trains between MK and London, it's just that none of them stop here between 0714 and 0847.

Very confusing. London to MK on Monday afternoon and then return from MK to London Tuesday Morning? I think you need the £22 Virgin only off peak return. This is valid on the 0847 from Mk arriving Euston 0924. Not valid in the evening peak from Euston though ie between 1645 and 1900...

I refer you to your signature.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of not watching the utter drivel the man gets involved in.

Not before time. Hopefully Amazon will have a change of heart so he'll disappear from our screens forever. Oh, wait, it's Amazon - since when did they care about doing the right thing?

I suppose we'd have to know what you said in your email to determine if this was a reasonable response.

Didn't expect you to agree. My partner and I both work but managed to take our own kids to school.

Indeed. I think my mum walked me to school on my first day - but only because she was on her way somewhere else. After that it was 13 years of walking up to 3 miles each way.

The walking bus was created by comedian Eric Sykes as a joke in 1964. Anyway, if the parents are really bothered about the cost, they could volunteer to take over the role of the paid teaching staff, maybe on a rota basis. Or do some fundraising to help cover the staff time. Or just walk...

If it's OMO then they'll need to allow extra time for kids to pay the driver.

Unless they change the bus halfway along the route and the tracker heads off to the depot with the original coach. Again, this happened to my friend when travelling from Leeds to Milton Keynes last Thursday evening. And then they switched it off and the tracking site just reverted to "this coach...

Your friend is delusional. Coach companies are not compelled to pay any compensation in the event of delays so punctuality is low on their priority. Take this weekend as an example. My friend was travelling on the 561 Nat Express from Milton Keynes to Leeds. Announcer says it's running 20...

The OP did say he renewed it on Oyster but reading it again, it's not clear whether the original was on paper or Oyster.

Surprised Oyster lets you have two travelcards valid for the same period ie both valid on 7th October. Maybe you should take this up with tfl? But pay the penalty fare first.

I raised this very same point on a thread a while back and was shouted down - apparently the fee is designed to act as a deterrent of some sort. TOCs should only be allowed to charge according to the cost to them to perform the transaction. £10 for 1 minute's work is ridiculous! They are allowed...

You should have posted this earlier, I had a voucher for £10 off an F&F railcard but it expired last week. :(

Rothersthorpe/Northampton Services used to be a pick/up drop off for some Nat Express services when I lived in Northampton in the early 90s, just after the A43 was diverted to pass under the M1 at Junction 15a. Unfortunately, there were no connecting buses in to the town. Also, when...

In my experience, railcards are posted same day if ordered before 4pm and usually arrive next working day or day after.

Just how do these bewildered millions manage in London? or Glasgow? or Manchester? No "Hauptbahnhof" there. Lord help them in then turn up at Liverpool Central or Warrington Central expecting to be at the main station serving the area. Not everyone bases their expectation on German railway...

I'd wager that hardly anyone would use the term "Brimingham Hbf"
