I'm surprised no-one has suggested the most fun way of getting to Swanage which would involve a trip on the heritage railway from Norden down to the sea.:D That would cost £4.50 though but the slight extra expenditure would be worth it in my opinion. (I'm assuming, perhaps unreasonably, that...

Thanks for the response and the links, Yorkie. However, when I got to Corby, I came across the driver first (who didn't know if my ticket would be valid) and he advised me to ask at the ticket office instead of searching the train for the guard. The woman there decided that it wasn't...

I want to go to Leicester and then Corby tomorrow. So can anybody tell me if a day return from KET to LEI could then be used to go from Corby back to KET, having broken my return journey at MHR? Due to more services running to MHR, it is easier for me to get the 1254 from LEI to there and...

Well, I'm glad to see that my first-ever topic has generated quite a bit of interest. Thanks to everyone for contirbuting, especially those who have given specific advice. Upon asking at the station earlier this week what had happened, I was rather shocked that a member of staff claimed it...

OK, cheers. I'm actually minded now to take a trip back to the station to ask in person what happened last night and what they think would be fair, before sending a letter. But can you, or anyone else, say what the repercussions were when this happened previously?

Now, now, calm down!:wink: I thought it would have been apparent that I don't think I am entitled to such compensation, as I acknowleged £100 would be excessive. My expectation was always that, at least, a polite letter would elicit travel vouchers as a goodwill gesture, which is something I...

Well, yes, that it what I was thinking, thanks. But I also thought about how strict EMT are when it comes to revenue protection, which made me think being forceful with them could be a good tactic. (I say 'strict' because I've been charged around £40 each for new tickets before when I was...

This was at Kettering last night, which meant I was unable to catch the 0010 train to Leicester. How on earth could this happen?! When I got to the main entrance of the station, at around 0005, I discovered that it was locked, with messages on printed paper stuck to the inside of the windows...

I make trips between BRI and BHM fairly regularly but since the fares increase at the start of the year, I have failed to find any availability for the cheapest £7 advance single fares. Does anyone know why this is? Last year it was almost always possible to get the cheapest fare on the last...

I actually got off the sleeper at Taunton last Saturday just after 2am and was going to wait there until the first train of the day to Bristol at 5.30. Another passenger had the same idea so she asked the station manager if he could open up a waiting room. He said he would do a few minutes...
