    Treatment of customers who've previously not paid by station staff - opinions?

    So this all relates to a friend of mine rather than me, but curious to see what people here think. All relates to a station in London, not managed by TFL but with some TFL services running through it. This is his local station, and he used to be a regular fare-dodger - nothing overly...

    LNR/WMR&TFW Only Euston-Piccadilly Tickets

    Hello, I've often found it difficult to book this ticket, (or the equivalent one with Northern instead of TFW), especially when there's engineering works ongoing. For example, I'm looking at potentially doing the following on 24th of August: 10.52am-1.58pm Euston to Crewe LNR, connecting to...

    London - Middlesbrough 05/01/20

    Hiya, A few weeks back (12/12/19) I booked return travel to Middlesbrough to go to the football on the 5th of January - a super off-peak single outward, and an avance coming back. My confirmation email shows this train was due to leave Kings Cross at 10.30, with a change at York to get to...

    Split Ticket with Season Ticket

    Hiya - sorry, I know this is probably quite a basic question, just wanted some reassurance. I'm about to buy a season ticket for the first time between Leicester and Kettering. Am I right in thinking that this would also be valid for journeys to/from Market Harborough, which is between the two...

    Thameslink - different off-peak times depending on ticket type?

    I'm looking at going from Farringdon to Elstree & Borehamwood arriving at about 6pm on Thursday, and going back at about 10pm. I've not used Thameslink before, but it looks like the outward journey counts as off-peak if I buy a paper ticket but as peak if I use my Oyster? And that as a result...

    'Wrong' tickets regularly issued

    Hiya, I live in a fairly remote area and often take the train on a small branch line. There are two stations very close to each other, and the fares from either of them are identical in off-peak hours. The service is buy on board because we don't have any ticketing facilities at the stations...

    Can't collect tickets from local station

    I'm looking to book an advance ticket to travel in a couple of days' time. My only options for delivery are to collect at the station, or to spend £6 on postage. I can't use a print-at-home style option because I'm looking to take advantage of the GWR promotion on 16-25 railcard fares, and the...

    My idea to raise the age limit for child fares

    Let's face it, it's pretty criminal that the railways (and anyone else for that matter) charges full price to under 18s who are not allowed to get a full time job. If they're not able to be financially independent surely they shouldn't have to pay the full price.

    Dates on which pre-booked off-peak tickets may be used.

    Hello, I booked in advance a super-off peak return from Falmouth Docks to Paddington (with railcard), with the outward portion set for this Saturday. I'm now considering instead travelling on Friday afternoon/ evening - is that something I'm able to change on the train/at the ticket office or...

    Travelling to Cornwall this weekend

    Hiya, I need to make a last-minute trip to Cornwall this weekend, going from London to Penryn on Saturday and returning on one of the last trains (preferably the 16:12 from Penryn) on Sunday. I have a 16-25 railcard and the best way I can see to do this so far is a super off-peak return for...

    Delay Repay on charter trains

    Hiya again, On Wednesday I took the scheduled 14:45 departure from London St. Pancras via Luton to Sheffield. This wasn't a regular service, but a charter train booked through Thomas Cook which was available exclusively to Tottenham Hotspur FC members and season-ticket holders travelling to...

    "Long-Faring"?

    Hiya, Having just moved I'm going to be travelling fairly often between Cambridge and White Hart Lane with a 16-25 railcard. I've had a look at the fares, and it's showing that a super off-peak day return will cost £13.15. However, if I ask for a super off-peak day return from Cambridge to any...
