    PlusBus Tickets

    Besides Greater Anglia, which TOCs still issue PlusBus Day tickets on CCST when purchased at a ticket office?

    Changes to Hertfordshire SaverCard and Intalink (lost discounts, price increases)

    Just a reminder that Intalink Connect tickets on the app are stored for up to 12 months from purchase, so it may be worth buying some before Sunday's fare rise.

    Merseyrail Tap & Go

    To answer my own question the records appeared after I bought something else today, 3 weeks and change after travel. A bit odd, but there we go. Charges were dated the day after travel as expected.

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    I don't doubt that happens if you cross the Z6/13 boundary, but it's a different matter if you don't. Either that or the TfL open data for journeys within Z13/14 is incorrect. Screenshot above shows Z14 (Gatwick Airport only) to Z6 (e.g. Coulsdon South) is capped at £40.80 / £24.10...

    PlusBus Tickets

    Did that about 3 months ago, mentioned SE's withdrawal and the current trio of regulars (A2B / Dews / SoE). They said they'd confirm with the Local Scheme Coordinator and update accordingly...

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    I've noticed that journeys within Zones 13/14 i.e. Merstham - Gatwick Airport inclusive are still subject to the higher Shenfield-floor caps. I'm guessing GTR chose not to apply the December 2025 capping adjustments to those particular journeys because: * The number of passengers who'll reach...

    Uber ticketing

    The expires-on-nonmembership condition is mentioned in the credits for rides paragraph, but not the credits for trains paragraph. I'm not sure if that's relevant though I'm aware that credit redemption differs - "train" credits can also be redeemed against rides and Uber Eats, whereas "ride"...

    We could not connect to the services that deliver your tickets

    That assumes Booking.com and Avanti use the same payment processor and acquiring bank, which is unlikely (and yes, that can affect the 'journey' of a refund). It is possible that Avanti and the banking system are both responsible for the delay.

    We could not connect to the services that deliver your tickets

    You are probably describing a Faster Payments transaction, for which the process differs from that for payments made by debit/credit card. You may find an explanation somewhere in this Reddit thread, or this one.

    Contactless - Hover or Touch in? - Stagecoach Midlands

    Not for much longer, they're about to start replacing their Vix machines with Ticketer. Not fallen foul of this myself, though I do remember seeing a Grant Palmer passenger tap immediately on boarding (intending to buy a paper single) and being quite displeased when the driver told them what...

    PlusBus Tickets

    Went to Luton Airport this evening and it turns out the TVMs there don't offer PlusBus tickets, so I bought one from the onward travel desk. No idea if TPE's TVMs (same model) have the same issue. Out of interest who should ticketing complaints be addressed to - the operator (changing from...

    Merseyrail Tap & Go

    It's been two weeks since I used my Android to make Tap & Go journeys and there's no record of the transaction value in my Google Wallet listings (same goes for TfW's North Wales PAYG). Just to be clear this isn't a complaint. All the transaction details are listed correctly in my Merseyrail &...

    Trivia: tickets that can *ONLY* be CCST

    East Croydon - Norwood Junction (Anytime Day Return route Not via London) is an example to the contrary. Even the same ticket from West Croydon (LO-managed like Norwood Junction) is another one. The first fare is set by GTR, the second by RDG (by themselves, or with TfL?) I do wonder if an...

    Arriva (Beds, Bucks, Herts)

    That explains why I spotted one of them on the 101 at Luton Airport today. Thought the ex-Fastrack E200MMCs had returned until I looked at the number plate!

    Oxford Corridor Phase 2 & Platform 5 updates

    19 August 2026 resident/business update uploaded today. For those of you who remember the milestone table from February 2025, NR have produced another table of what are really mini-milestones... Beyond 20 September the northern walkway will reopen up to 10 days later. Details of the...

    TAP2GO again

    That'll be because the Tap2Go "traffic day" is defined as commencing 0430 / finishing 0429 the following day, so no fare calculations can be made within that interval. The three taps labelled touch are those successfully transmitted to the back-office, as should happen when the system works...

    TAP2GO again

    @mrg9999 if you post a screenshot of your smartcard journey history don't forget to redact your smartcard number and other personal details if need be. It sounds like your Kingston taps were not transmitted to the back-office but a screenshot would help us to ascertain why SWR charged you for...

    Stagecoach East (Bedford, Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough)

    Fare changes on 1 September include the following: More details in the fares booklet. Will Plus zone tickets remain valid on the 905 (Beds / Cambs) and X5 (Beds)? I can't tell. Oops. Guessing it wasn't the drivers on my MK1 rides the other week, they both took the trap entries very carefully.
