Has there been an update whereby overnight journeys are duplicated across days and show at the start and end of consecutive days? For example, a Tuesday service leaving at 25:30 (01:30 [+1]) will appear as such at the end of the day on the Tuesday service as well as 01:30 on the Wednesday...
The Dublin Bus 16D service: 16D - Airport - Beaumont Village - Ballinteer not
The description suggests it serves Beaumont Village and (in not so great English) that it doesn’t serve Ballinteer, when it’s the other way around.
Hello, could I please have some advice on the correct ticket to purchase for the following itinerary?
30 December 2024: 09.30 GWR London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads
31 December: 07.30 Bristol Temple Meads to Bath Spa (break of journey) then 11.35 from Bath Spa to Andover via Trowbridge...
The change whereby, following a successful appeal, a TOC need only reimburse the penalty exceeding the full single fare applicable seems ill-thought out.
What happens if you hold a valid ticket, the inspector refuses to believe it’s valid, charges you a penalty fare and you win on appeal? They...
When boarding and paying on a London bus, be mindful that they are exact fare only and ensure you don’t pay using Northern Irish notes. Drivers are reluctant to accept them.
The 9 and 27 are both less frequent than the 23. Indeed, the 23 seems to have won out above all else, with the 7 (which also parallels it) also being reduced yet the 23 remaining completely unaffected.
A few weeks ago Paddington ticket office excessed a screenshot of my friend's e-ticket; she had accidentally bought a day return instead of period return. The lovely ticket clerk did the “12345” trick without an ounce of bother.
It really doesn’t have to be a painful experience.
You have to unfortunately shop around at Paddington. The Praed Street (District and Circle lines) did it for me, but the staff under the concourse refused with the same barrage of excuses you got.
Given that Bristol zoo is due to close in future and be relocated to South Gloucestershire, I wonder if this will lead to a downgrade of the importance of the 8. Without such a large pull for passengers at the top of Clifton, I can imagine there'll be some restructuring of routes in the area. Of...
Bristol Temple Meads to Clifton Down is £2 for an Anytime Day Return. The single for the bus is £2.25/£2.50, depending on whether bought in advance or not.
You're right with the 17 as it does pass through Somerset, Bristol and Gloucestershire - thanks for pointing it out. However, the A4 and 672 only pass through two counties: Bristol and Somerset. Bath is part of Somerset.
The 2/2a frequency reduction is reasonable and understandable. The m3 dropping to every 20 mins makes is somewhat less of a metro service. Personally, I think something more should be made of the route, like an extension to Temple Meads.
The m1 seems to be faring much better - retaining the 10...
It's because TfL Penalty Fares are issued in accordance with Schedule 14 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999, which is somewhat less fussy about exact wording and the appearance of the signage.
