    1981 ABC Rail Guide

    I've still got my August 1981 copy of the ABC Rail Guide (736pp). I kept it throughout my commuting days just to monitor the improvements (!) in travel times from SAC to STP. Is anyone interested in some extract from it? Or have any other thoughts towards it?

    Luton fire refund

    GTR are declining to refund tickets from St Albans City to Luton Parkway, which we couldn't use due to Luton Airport (LUA, our final destination) being closed because of the car park being on fire. I'd bought a pair of open return ToD tickets SAC><LTN, and collected them the day before travel...

    Luton Dart fares

    Until this service is working again, post fire, the Luton Dart website says that tickets are valid on the replacement buses. But it's not selling standalone tickets. When I travelled from the Airport to Parkway on Wednesday evening, the bus driver wasn't asking for (or trying to sell) tickets...

    Assisting relatives onto a train. Platform ticket needed?

    This morning I drove my daughter and two grandchildren (aged 7 and 4) to St Albans City for the first leg of their trip to Scotland. To help with the luggage and manage the children, we decided it was best if I escorted them all to Platform 3. I was expecting a "discussion" at the gateline about...

    Railcard renewal problems

    My wife's paper, station-purchased Senior Railcard expires on 20th April. We are trying to renew it with a 3 year plastic one, to start - understandably - on 21st April. She recently set up a Railcard account, but it won't let her load this current card onto it; the serial number is too short...

    Luton Dart Concessionary Bookings

    I've lifted this from the Infrastructure page, as it may cause disputes once the Luton Dart is fully operational. This shuttle service is free for holders of concessionary passes. But they need to register, and then book their tickets 72 hours in advance. I did this for a return trip in May...

    The use of CCTV in a dispute or prosecution.

    mods note - split from here. Easily solved. There are two branches of the TOC involved; the prosecutors and the SAR admin. And even if they DO talk to each other, the OP can simply withdraw his assertion that he was elsewhere at the time. "I got the dates wrong, following your insistence that...

    Website won't tell me eligible services

    On Thameslink's website I'm trying to book a cheap day (weekday) return from St Albans City to Blackfriars. With my senior railcard it's quoting £10.95, even though I entered an 1802 return; ie no different in the peak hour to a 1600 return. To confirm this, I asked the website for the "Service...
