    Merseyrail legacy fleet updates (Class 507/508)

    Likewise saw it at Green Lane on my way to join it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/davwheat/53995152367/in/album-72177720320331731 Some delays around Hooton with the ECS leaving Platform 1 71L so the 507s had to wait for a while.

    Ooh, lovely! Shame that if you're anything like me that means you might have to wait a month or so for the next one! :D 1726386852 Spotted this one earlier, with the info for 5C08 reporting a time of 0000 and it running 2599½E! :p

    Thanks for this one! :D Seems to be working really nicely for me so far, combined with the websocket updates :)

    I need some advice on buying train tickets

    Welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, the Family and Friends Railcard won't be of any use for you anymore as this only covers someone until the day before their 17th birthday (or its expiry, whichever is sooner). You can split tickets at Shrewsbury to save a small amount on the overall cost of...

    Class 365 PBC Unit and PIS system

    Indeed, this is what I'm having a play about with this evening. No luck so far, but I'm sure a breakthrough will happen.

    Strictly speaking, what does an e-ticket require?

    Instead of share of savings, would you instead get it delivered with a slice of the cake missing? :p

    National Routeing Guide update

    From what I can see High Wycombe did get increased to 3 mins, but given these MCTs should really cater for a passenger who has never been to a station before, while being in the most inconvenient spot on the train, it does still seem rather low.

    Expansion of LNER 70-min flex trial area ("Simpler Fares")

    I believe this is effectively what LNER do with their "transfer fee" for customers on the wrong service with an Advance, which is priced at half of the Anytime Single. It's in place to soften the blow so people with now-valueless tickets (e.g., an Advance for a train that has already departed)...

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    I think you were the only one, since they have always taken into account alternative services for me stretching back to 2021... As an example from last year... I think in this instance, I didn't see the alternative service until it was too late to make it to the other platform, but it was...

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    When I bought a Trainline sTicket by accident once, I know it had a specific button to generate a "delay repay barcode" which you could explicitly screenshot for this reason. Does the Northern whitelabel app not offer this option? It seems like a rather large oversight!

    Route AWC & connections

    My understanding of the rules being you're permitted to take the next train(s) that meet the route/operator restriction. I fail to see how taking Avanti straight from Manchester would go against the restrictions of a ticket routed "AWC & Connections", but you'd probably have to explain what...

    Off-peak Day Travelcard Query

    I believe you can, but @Mike395's experiences seem to suggest that the tickets will never work a barrier as they're somehow encoded incorrectly.

    When were you last on a Voyager? :p

    Is a fare dispute settled if offered to pay the full fare there and then?

    The National Rail Conditions of Travel state (paraphrased) that if you travel with a ticket with time restrictions which make it invalid at the time that you're travelling, you only need to pay the difference between your ticket and the cheapest ticket currently available for travel on your...

    Is a fare dispute settled if offered to pay the full fare there and then?

    Unless there is more to this we haven't heard, yes an excess should have been charged instead. Perhaps OP (@G1LZ) could share copies of the original and new tickets with us so we can help further?

    Guildford to Vauxhall via Waterloo

    The electronic data for the easement is only set to apply to tickets routed 00000 "ANY PERMITTED", 00610 "VIA RICHMOND" or 01000 ".". As the fare between Guildford and London Terminals is routed 00506 "CANDON/WOKING", the easement doesn't apply, and journey planners will advertise this as a...

    Night Riviera cabin supplement with advance tickets

    I can't see anything in your quote that suggests supplements aren't valid with the advance? It's simply talking about refund rights, and advances are not refundable in most circumstances.

    Night Riviera cabin supplement with advance tickets

    Not sure it'll be quite as quiet for the run into/out of Euston in November! :p

    Night Riviera cabin supplement with advance tickets

    I was browsing GWR's site to look at Night Riviera journeys, and noticed that it seems to be impossible to purchase a cabin supplement for the sleeper if you're buying an Advance. Is this an intentional decision to try to milk passengers who want a cabin for as much as possible? If I were to...
