    Delay repay query

    Quick question- would I be expected to change off of a direct train in order to mitigate any delays and would my delay repay request be voided if I didn't? For example, there are delays between Ayr and Glasgow Central just now, affecting the Edinburgh direct train. I could probably make some...

    Inverness-Markinch routing

    I've never bashed the section of line between Perth and Dundee before. I've got a Markinch-Inverness off-peak return routed Aviemore that I was hoping to use the rtn portion of tomorrow (Sunday).

    Wrong plusbus addition

    Hi, I bought plusbus along with 2 advance singles forming a return journey. Problem is, I bought the plusbus for my destination with the return ticket instead of with the outbound one by mistake so it's valid on the wrong day. I know it's only £3.60, but do I have any options to change it...

    Ticket machine pronunciation

    What's the best (or even correct) way to pronounce the name of the makers of a certain TVM? If it's said the way I think it should be, I wouldn't like to have to mention it in polite company! Not that I'm ever in polite company, mind!
