This would be amusing if wasn't so frustrating!
Submitted claim for Nottingham to Gatwick ; travel via Grantham and Stevenage due engineering work
Twice rejected as the cancelled Stevenage/Gatwick 'operated by LNER' !
Called TL c/r who said he would escalate only to have it rejected for same...
So was pleased that 2336 Piccadilly Crewe was not cancelled last might as were by my calculations the 300 or more who tried to catch it
We departed10 minutes or so late with announcements saying that not everyone would get on
The irony was that 10 minutes prior departure the 323 was detached...
so we are at Piccadilly for 1830 to carmarthen it's full and standing despite the fact there there is another 2 car behind that they want to split off as needed for the 1930
they can't split due an electrical issue
The next TFW arrival goes ecs to Crewe!!
Should these not be available on all 'platforms!'
Found WILMSLOW/PICCADILLY for £2 on 1850 service today on the Avanti site but didn't come up on TPE or Trainsplit
Travelled on a service from Piccadilly to Euston today
Apart from the 10 minute diatribe predeparture about Advance tickets/ split tickets; cost of a new one etc; not forgetting the 61016 announcement after departure was the worst
'Ladies Gentlemen those who aren't sure and those who haven't...
Am pretty sure I'm correct but Preston Derby off peak return is valid via Manchester or Crewe so by default would be ok for break of journey at Manchester Airport on return?
Friend just been told not valid and had to buy ticket from Airport back to Preston!
Arrived to travel on this.. bus replacement.. the inbound stock arrives on time so asked Driver why not in service ..he said he'd been told to take it back empty ( with Guard!)
I know sometimes crew off inbound from Chester work this but that was on time so be interested to know reason for...
So we've gone from hourly to Liverpool via Airport and hourly TFW to Piccadilly non stop to nothing today!
TFW passing through but not stopping
Tbf the Northern hasn't run on strike days from Wilmslow last few dates.. interested to know why TFW not
So got train at Piccadilly tonight. Had ticket for inbound journey not for onward so tried to buy on app
.bad 4g and Conductor came round as purchase finished..explained what I was doing amd he said you can't do that as onboard (wasn't short faring or anything)
Scanned ticket and it came up...
Anyone know why these aren't available for internal Scottish journies or those starting in Merseyside
E.g. Edinburgh to Helensburgh or Aintree to Carnforth?
Cheers!
Looks like all Piccadilly / Crewe replaced by buses!
Tweeted Northern who said due to engineering works!!
Strange how AVANTI and TFW can run the route!!
Shocking lack of knowledge!!
Recently emailed them just commenting on the (high) volume of recorded announcements on the 195 and 331 units
Got a reply back 'announcements need to be loud so people can hear them' no s@@t !
Emailed back saying it was the high volume and they said what station was I traveling from!!
Am I...
Not looking for sympathy but just thoughts
A revenue inspector issued me with a letter having blighted at MANCHESTER Victoria without ticket other day through the M.E.N. side door exit
Gave all details and went on my way..very pleasant inspector no altercation
I emailed TPE revenue protection...
Maybe a genuine misunderstanding but submitted to TPE two separate tickets same journey as both of us travelled on 2together card...you can't submit two tickets on one claim
One was rejected as they said it was duplicate claim!
Different ticket numbers obviously but still !
Have appealed so...
