My mother commutes 5 days a week from Peterborough to Farringdon using LNER to King's Cross and the tube for the rest. She tried to renew the weekly season ticket on her LNER smartcard at Peterborough's Travel Centre, however, something odd happened. All tills were unable to download the season...

My journey to and from work (Peterborough-Farringdon) was possible, but it meant not using LNER at all in both directions. The way to work was plain sailing. A direct Thameslink train and that was that. On the way back, I chanced going via King's Cross and was told that nothing was running from...

My mother has this season ticket and she will need to travel to Cambridge to get to London Liverpool Street and then the Elizabeth Line to Farringdon, due to the disruption. Is this a valid route or will she need to pay for a new ticket?

I posted here before on the incident that my mother's smartcard was confiscated because the RPI falsely accused my mother of not having a valid ticket. My mother used KeyGo and touched in at Huntingdon station. The RPI claimed that she did not touch in, despite the barriers at Huntingdon...

Curiously, while officially The Key is not accepted at Peterborough, my mother did have a Peterborough to London Zones 1-6 travelcard (weekly season) loaded on there at the ticket office. It works the barriers just fine on both ends. And the RPIs on LNER trains could check the ticket just fine...

She travels 5 days a week between Huntingdon and Farringdon, using KeyGo. According to the system, there have been no issues with the card registering the touches at both ends. But today, a ticket inspector onboard the Thameslink train claimed that the smartcard isn't working and confiscated the...

This has been an ongoing situation for quite some time. My mother travels five days a week from Huntingdon to Farringdon. She has signed up for KeyGo and taps in and out as normal with her Key Smartcard. Most times, the payment is successfully taken. However, on three separate occasions, the...

Could the ECML proposed speed improvements benefit places like Huntingdon on the outer suburban routes? Or is that wishful thinking?

TOC specific fares could be an issue. I think that's what stopped keyGo to extend to Peterborough.

If this is already been discussed in another thread, feel free to merge this. I’m disappointed that Stafford, a supposedly important stop, has no services from Euston between 6-7pm. And this has been consistent for a while now. All the while, the Trent Valley stations like Nuneaton, Tamworth...

Yesterday, my mother and I travelled from Huntingdon, intending to go to Hadley Wood for a dentist's appointment. Due to delays at Stevenage for the connecting service to Welwyn Garden City, this meant we could not take the service taking us to Hadley Wood before 9am. We originally were...

I signed up for keyGo for convenience's sake. Before, I would buy an Off Peak Day Return between Huntingdon and Farringdon. I was instead charged for an Off Peak Day Travelcard Zones 1-6. I suspect that changing via King's Cross and St Pancras assumed I took LU, but I thought KeyGo could not be...

Tomorrow, I’m going from Huntingdon to Farringdon for work. Then later, I’ll go to Watford Junction for a nearby interview and then come back to Farringdon for the rest of the work day. After about 6pm, I’ll go to Bank to have dinner with a friend and then come back to Huntingdon through King’s...

My mother commutes from Huntingdon to Farringdon 5 days a week. She was sold today an off-peak day return. She travels on the 09:12 service from Huntingdon and leaves Farringdon on the 18:11 service. She bought an off-peak day return and the cashier at Farringdon told her that she doesn't need...

My mother intended to take the 08:25 train on 22nd July from New Southgate to Hadley Wood. This was cancelled and she ended up taking the 08:55 train. I claimed to GTR for Delay Repay, but they said that the delay was 15-29 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Can I appeal this, somehow? As GTR...

I'm considering a job opportunity in Hertford. Would it be worth using Oyster or shall I use paper tickets to commute to Hertford North? Mod note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/march-2019-oyster-extensions-confirmed.177646/

I'll be making the following journey on Thursday: -St Pancras to St Alban's City, then walk to my meeting place which takes place at 2pm -Then, I will come back home 3-4pm from St Alban's City to Mill Hill Broadway (which has a bus that takes me back home - this is quickest) What is the best...

I have an important meeting in a place near Horley station and I have to be there before 9:15am on the 15th November. The question is - is there a ticket that allows me to double-back via Gatwick, or would it be stupidly expensive so that it would not be worth it? I'm asking, because the TfL...

I have a meeting near Chertsey station at 1pm on Wednesday 25th October. NRE says that the Off-Peak Return is £12.40 from Vauxhall to Chertsey, which is great, but I also need to cover the journey for the initial bus leg and the Arnos Grove to Vauxhall leg. What is the cheapest ticket for this...

I now got a job two minutes away from Cuffley station, and I would need to make the commute from my home five days a week. Here's the route I'm going to take: -TfL bus to Arnos Grove -Piccadilly Line to Bounds Green -OSI with Bowes Park, and take GN to Cuffley What is the best value...
