Tomorrow Friday

Friends returning home from Manchester Airport but NCL train to Manchester cancelled (train here was cancelled to- l with over 120 minute delay). Can they get an earlier TPE train or the next train buts its a LNER to York then TPE to Manchester? This is stress they could do without - worrying...

At least 2 hours - standing room only - changed at Preston - Didn't know you could ask for rerouting? How successful is asking another train company to carry you? Lot of very tired passengers from flights.

Airport single to Carlisle then ordinary single to Hexham. 1660992461 Would that have involved another ticket?

Got into Manchester Piccadilly then onto Preston but had to buy another ticket from Carlisle as it was two tickets and the conection was missed. Could you have traveled on another companies train to Carlisle to make the conection? Not the cost but the last train from Carlisle and the lateness of...

Arrived into Manchester on August 8th but trains cancelled from airport to Manchester. Travelling to Hexham via Carlisle. Would I have been able to travel by any train to reach destination?

Yes I accept that. Bloke wasn't nasty or anything. More annoyed with myself. I'll let you know when Virgin get in touch.

Yes unplanned visit, break in journey.

Yes he took the ticket - no good to me anyway as I was not travelling onto Edinburgh that day and it was only valid for that day. Just annoying lesson and an expensive unplanned visit home!

I suppose if I'd been quicker and just showed him the travelcard (valid for metro/Northern) I'd been passed okay. Yes I must have shown him the ticket as well before he starting talking about riding short. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- What do we call them now - revenue...

I dont recall the exact sequence as I was focused on getting to the metro with my travelcard in hand. It was not the same guy that checked my ticket at York).

Thanks for the info guys. I'll just wait and see then if I hear anything from Virgin then. Still intrigued as to why he stopped me. Do they watch you on CCTV like the labour leader last month then? Didn't thing I was that interesting - but then again is he?

I've just got a price of 139 quid minus the 30 quid odd I had already paid for KX to Edinburgh journey. Thats a lot of money.

I could be up for big money here - the prince from London to Newcastle is not cheap! Do they sit and wait? Surely it must be a rare thing for being fined for traveling short?

That was faster reply than Virgin East Coast! Yes I was on an advance ticket. I could understand it for not paying the fare etc but ending your journey early! WTF! Am I going to be prosecuted? Is this a common thing to do and also be caught? (I'm sounding guilty now!)

Second post as first one failed! Traveling KX to Edinburgh on Advance single ticket. Due to a change of plans broke journey at Newcastle where I was collared by a Virgin train guard for "traveling short". Took my name and addres. He spoke to me as I made my way to the metro with my Nexus...
