Hi All, There are tickets that are valid for crossing London without a Maltese cross on them. I don't harbour much hope of london underground gateline staff letting me through on one of these tickets. Can anyone share any success/failure stories or tactics when they have attempted the same...

Hi All, I've just been given my first penalty fares notice. I'll deliberately withhold details of the ticket unless the board thinks it would be helpful. I was on the return portion of the ticket, returning on a route different to the outward portion. The outward route is easily validated...

I'm trying to work out whether getting a network card is beneficial to me. It seems to come down to whether the minimum fare is per journey, or per ticket. If I split my fare and the total exceeds the minimum fare is that okay, even if neither ticket individually exceeds the minimum?

One of the tickets I use to get to work has been shown to be valid a number of times, but it irks a specific guard who works the route. No other guard has ever shown any problem with the ticket. He has taken it upon himself to make this ticket no longer valid. He tells me a new restriction is...

First question, does an outboundary travelcard have the exact same validity as a boundary zone 6 ticket and a travelcard combination? Is it just the price that is different? I think we all agree that X to Boundary Zone 6 + travel card are valid to london terminals via permitted routes. In...

I was wondering if anyone could help me decipher the restriction code 'US' My question is why specific trains from paddington are listed from 16:00-19:00, as well as as general restriction of 16:00-19:15 (inclusive). Is this just a case of belt and braces, or is there something I'm missing...

Hi All, I am thinking of moving house (somewhere in the UK, probably within 1.5 hours of london). A season ticket to London will probably be required, unless I move job too. We are quite easy about where we want to move to. Does anyone know of map anywhere with zones indicating prices of...

Hi All, Yesterday I got on the train at Reading, heading to Paddington. Next, and final stop was Paddington. Standard was rammed, not even standing room in the aisles. First was less than half full. I got on and squashed in to a vestibule. As I was standing in the vestibule next to where...

Hi All, I hope you can help me. I've been reading the routeing guide, and I can't seem to find the rules on how to determine valid routes for boundary zone tickets. Can anyone give any advice for this? For example what are the valid routes from Ash Vale to boundary zone 6? Thanks

Hi All, This is an amazing website and I spent a long time reading last night, downloading all the routeing guide pdfs and doing my best to digest them. I had bought an return ticket from the national rail website. I followed the suggest route, but the ticket inspector on the train (RPI...
