    I was searching for tickets on the forum ticket site and got the following error: But Reading is not in a zone. I expected to be able to be able to buy the off peak day single for £11.10 or be shown free Elizabeth line services.

    Why does Chiltern train data go missing between Amersham and Harrow?

    When I check RealTimeTrains and Citymapper, the data for the trains seem to go missing - indeed Citymapper often reports the train has already stopped at Harrow and on its way to London when this is not the case! For example...

    Ticket sold with freedom pass discount at 0929

    Just bought a ticket between West Hampstead and Luton Airport on the forums ticket site. As usual I entered my disabled Railcard and disabled freedom pass. I looked at the trains and went with the 0929 service. It's provided me with a ticket from London Boundary Zone 6. How can this be...

    I submitted an application for a disabled railcard. I have a visual impairment and have the CVI card (registered partially sighted). I sent images of both sides of the CVI card as evidence but this has been rejected. Does anyone know what other evidence I am meant to submit?

    “Freedom pass only available after 930” at East Croydon

    A friend claimed she was told that her disabled freedom pass was not valid before 930am on Sunday after the barriers did not open (to start the journey into London). I am very surprised by this incorrect incormation given how common freedom passes are. Can anyone else confirm this occurs at...

    What happened to the “keep feet of seats” stickers and why aren’t people fined for doing this?

    I don’t see any on the S stock trains but I’m sure I remember there being stickers on the A stock. Why are there no longer any stickers, given there are some for smoking for example. Secondly, why are fines not handed out to people that do this? If people knew they would get fined, whilst the...

    What happened to upgrading the Oyster system to support more zones?

    I was under the impression the oyster system could only support 15 zones and they were all in use but a technical upgrade was in process to enhance this. What is the current status of this upgrade?

    Could we see direct services from Marylebone towards Milton Keynes?

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/chiltern-railways-officially-announced-as-ewr-service-operator.283748/ Will there be direct trains going from Marylebone to Milton Keynes via Oxford, or have I misunderstood the press release and current alignment map?

    Why is it not a requirement to enter expiry date of railcard for ticket purchases?

    When I use a credit or debit card online, I’ve always had to enter my expiry date of the card. Why is the same practice not used for people making ticket purchases using a railcard? This would help a lot of people making innocent mistakes in forgetting to renew their railcard and would be...

    Elizabeth western branch to Tottenham Court Road (Underground Station)

    Why does the National Rail website offer a bizarre interchange if a user selects the underground station rather than the "Elizabeth line" station? For example, Slough to Tottenham Court Road (Underground Station): It proposes I do: Slough -> Farringdon -> Blackfriars -> Tottenham Court Road...

    Are there any named passenger trains on the underground?

    A few national rail trains are named (link below) but there does not seem to be any listed from the London Underground/ TFL. Why is this? I vaguely remember some trains were painted with a special livery on the Piccadilly line to commemorate the night tube and also some other occurrences in...

    Trains in the Netherlands

    I just came back from Amsterdam and was very impressed with the sprinter trains. It was a fairly cheap and easy to get from the airport to the city centre. The trains themselves had leather seats - extremely comfortable - and even during 5-6pm from the airport into the centre, seats were still...

    Are there any good scenic views on the underground when it is above ground?

    Just wondering whether there are any scenic/good views anyone would recommend? The district line over the Thames is one at the top of my head. Any others?

    Is it possible to report tissue sellers online instead of a text or phone call?

    Sorry, I didn't know where else to post this. I would find it easier to report the tissue selling online. Is it okay to use this link below?: https://www.btp.police.uk/reportcrime/ It was a TFL service so is there a TFL link to report it to instead?

    National rail logo on stock trains

    What were the reasons for TOC's to not show the BR double arrow symbol on the livery of commuter trains anymore? EDIT: Sorry, I messed up the title.

    Chiswick Park to Hampton Court fares

    I am trying to find out how much a weekly travelcard should cost between these two stations. I assume for example, I will go via Wimbledon, so I need zones 2 to zones 6. But when I go to the TfL website, I put that into the fare finder and get this message...
