You should claim from Northern. But you also need to input the whole journey you made when you submit the claim, i.e. the first leg Edinburgh to Lancaster and the second leg Lancaster to Hellifield. Don't just enter the details of what was delayed.

I've done a couple of day trips to Limerick to watch rugby matches. 10:00 flight out of Heathrow to Shannon. Pick up a hire car (cheaper than the bus or taxi). Drive to Limerick, park up in an appropriate place for a swift getaway post match (Limerick traffic is a nightmare on Munster...

Thinking about it Finsbury Park is in Zone 2 so you'd need London Underground Zones 1-2 which is £10.55 rather than £10.25 for just Zone 1 (the fares used to be identical - I don't know when this changed). It's platforms 7/8 at Finsbury Park these days but there aren't any barriers as it's all...

Just for completeness if youe ricket is Zone 1 Underground to Welwyn North then don't go to Kings Cross. It's faster to take the Victoria Line to Finsbury Park and change there.

Supermarkets generally avoid this because putting an item behind a counter kills sales and therefore profit. Lesson from a few years ago - Jack Daniel’s 1litre is one of the most stolen items (by value) in a supermarket. At Christmas stores were instructed to put a large pallet board display at...

Purchasing a large volume of gift cards could could see automated anti-fraud detection systems flag the transaction as suspicious which coule explain the cancellations.

The Nero branch at Euston is still there, next to Sainsbury's. I used it yesterday to buy a coffee before getting a train. Removing the retail units from the main concourse and opening it up was a good thing. Additional units were added on the relatively recently installed mezzanine.

Assume you mean Paper Roll Tickets rather than airline style tickets? While I do have a soft spot for CCST the world moves on. I used to live a physical ticket for a sporting event on theatre but accept it’s all about barcodes now.

I've never advocated only carrying only a single payment method.

That was what used to happen (and still does for some clubs) but apparently my 'matchday experience is being imporved' by forcing the downloading of apps in which to hold tickets. The newly ATM at Barclays in Stevenage does have a contactless reader but it wasn't enabled when I tried it to see...

I do have some admiration for people who don’t want to change how they do things, however as time goes on it gets much, much harder. For example, we know the direction of travel is closure of bank branches. We can argue about whether that’s good or bad but the fact is it’s happening. Take my...

Thinking about it further there were some retailers who, when phone wallet payments first became a thing, erroneously set a £30 limit (that being the contactless card limit at the time. I got caught by this but it wasn’t an issue for me as I had my physical card with me.

I suspect they either had their physical card in their phone case, and it picked that up rather than the phone wallet version or there’s an issue with their phone wallet.

As I understand it each bank is slightly different, but it may well be that the sum of your small transactions never went over the value requiring your PIN to be entered before you then made a large transaction where it was entered anyway and reset the count. Back when I used physical cards I...

If you use a physical card, then there's an inbuilt security feature with contactless that requires you to enter you PIN every so often (it's often after a set number or value of consecutive contactless transactions). If you regularly use a cash machine or make a transaction above £100 then...

Some interesting discussion here... Parking apps - I was sort of against them but remember during covid, first weekend the restrictiosn were lifted but public transport was still all but banned, driving into central London and parking on the roadside. Not expensive on a Saturday of you know...

At one point a couple of years ago I owned an Annual Gold Card, a Network Railcard, two Two Together Railcards and a Friends & Family Railcard.

Liverpool to Brighton route Southern and WMT

At Stevenage, there is yellow hatching on the fast line platforms (2 and 3) between the yellow line and platform edge.

To add to what @Watershed has said most 5-10 year olds living in London will have a Zip Oyster card which means they can use the barriers with their own card. For people travelling in from outside London where parent(s) are using a Travelcard it can be cheaper to buy a Friends & Family...
