I've been very lazy and not bothered getting an Oyster since I moved out of London. I have a Disabled Railcard which I can add to it - where, in practice, can I do this now? Ideally, as close to Euston as possible.

Mr Brohiri still hasn't paid any of his court fine, in news which will surprise absolutely nobody. https://www.whtimes.co.uk/news/26241793.herts-thameslink-train-fare-dodger-facing-prison-fine/

mods note - split from this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/reform-uk-discussion.285022/ Nobody in England cares about what is happening in Belfast. It's happening in another place and may as well be another country. Whatever loyalists have done in Northern Ireland has no real...

Simple question. What's the most expensive point to point single ticket in the GB database? Rovers, seasons, returns all excluded.

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/raib-report-on-footcrossing-fatality-at-bourneview-london-borough-of-croydon-25-01-25.294317/ What a dreadful incident. His poor family, and the driver. These crossings are so dangerous and I am surprised more work hasn't been...

Split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/misuse-of-free-pass-help.282547/ That's advising the OP to commit another, more serious offence! Surely you are not naive enough to think that filling out your financial circumstances when you are being fined in the magistrates' court is...

Following on from this post, which contains the advice: I think the forum ought to be better acquainted with people's civil rights under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. Broadly, unless the job/role/etc is exempt from the provisions of the Act, once convictions become spent, they are...

Mod Note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/sinlge-justice-notice-departing-station-did-not-have-a-ticket-machine.277870/page-2 I suppose, importantly, does this provide a defence to the Bylaw charge? I am not certain it does, although it could be leveraged to obtain an out of...

As election day approaches, does anyone have a local polling station which is in some way unusual? Our local one is a repurposed barn and coworking space, which surprised me - as usually, it's a school and there are two very close by.

As the title says. Have a punt! I’m going for a conservative (!) estimate of 121 seats.

A quick poll and discussion about how you prefer to vote. I like going to the polling station in person - it has a sense of mild occasion about it.

Good morning! I'm in the process of making a YouTube video highlighting LNER's gross ripoff fares as a result of their trial and the fake "compulsory" reservation policy. I'm going to fly from Edinburgh to London, via Amsterdam with KLM, in 3h15m - my plane ticket is cheaper than the fully...

From Ava Evans: https://www.joe.co.uk/news/government-to-seize-failing-avanti-railway-427671 Just a rumour at present:

Moderator Note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/penalty-fare.249542/ But is that grounds to issue a penalty fare?

Travelling London to Holyhead with a SailRail ticket soon - is it possible to upgrade to first class with Avanti? Is there a fixed upgrade or if not, how is the ticket treated when excessing? This is for travel on a weekday. Thanks!

We often find that posters have, or may have, a defence against a Penalty Fare because the train company has neglected to provide the relevant signage in accordance with the legislation. Indeed, many stations have signage which is either a) completely absent, b) non-standard and hence...

I'm on an Avanti Voyager tomorrow, for my sins - Birmingham to London. It's a double set. Will this be double crewed and have service in both sets? The cynic in me thinks otherwise...!

Simple one this - which is the longest Megabus route operating wholly within the UK? And what sort of buses do they run on it? Thanks!

As per BBC: Wixams: Residents pleased with railway station approval https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-64723212 This is in my opinion long overdue. The station ought to have been built when the estate was! The site I believe will be on the Midland Main Line.

I've been thinking this area of the forum works inefficiently for both people seeking advice and those who dispense it. Frequently a poster will start a thread with a lengthy explanation of what happened. This is often contradicted, or vital context added, once the (redacted) paperwork and...
