Good evening I am just posting to say thank you to RailUKforums for all the useful fare information that has been posted over the years. I was employed by South West Trains/South Western Railway between 2014 - 2022 in their Customer Service Centre (based in Southampton). Between 2016 - early...

I see the Competition & Markets Authority have raised a case on this a few days ago.. https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/firstgroup-and-mtr-south-western-rail-franchise-merger-inquiry I only use SWT for leisure travel around the Travelcard area (Richmond & Feltham mainly) so minimal impact for...

bb21: Hey, thanks for posting that! So they were correct; not sure why the clerk was so offended by my enquiry. Normally people wouldn't think twice to show proof that they are in the right... I also notice the point "Day Travelcard holders can only purchase a CDS, CDR, SDS or SDR Excess...

Well I asked a ticket clerk today about a Brighton - Selhurst and Zone 1-6 Travelcard combination on the 0846. She went away to speak with someone "higher up", then came back and told me this would not be not be valid as the train must stop at Selhurst in both directions. I pointed out the...

Thanks again for all the information! :) Just to clarify, is the Watford Junction - London Zones 1-6 (AAA LDN ZONE 7-9) daily Travelcard you can buy from National Rail a different product to the Zone 1-9 + Watford Junction daily Travelcard that TFL advertise in their fare tables? They both...

Thanks for the information. Looking at a daily Watford Junction - London Zones 1-6 Travelcard (AAA LDN ZONES 7-9), I was concerned it would get swallowed by the barriers at Watford Junction as I would be using this Travelcard "in reverse", ie going into Watford Junction as opposed to starting...

May as well ask this here as I'm visiting Harry Potter at some point this year.. I see that Watford Junction lies just outside Boundary Zone 9 according to the latest tube map. If I have an Amersham Und - Zones 1-6 (AAA LDN Zones 7-9) Daily Travelcard, am I correct to assume this would not...

Thanks for everyone's responses to my questions; learnt new things! I see Southern have a video about how to buy Boundary Zone tickets on their website but it's very basic. http://www.southernrailway.com/tickets-and-fares/buying-tickets/ticket-vending-machine-videos#2 Will have to check...

hairyhandedfool: What if the customer did an overlap themselves, for example they have an Anytime Zone 1-6 Travelcard and bought a Anytime Day Return Boundary Zone 2 to Brighton from a Southern TVM? The customer would probably end up paying more money but would a RPI/Guard/OBS take someone to...

Hey, thanks for the suggestion Ankelboots! Unfortunately I cannot abide by the Super Off-Peak TC's evening restriction out of Victoria but still a good idea. Just looking at this in a bit more detail but this time for a weekend stay in London with a Travelcard on both Saturday and Sunday...

Cheers for the quick reply hairyhandedfool. Is the reason I can't combine a Boundary Zone 4 ticket with a Zone 1-6 Travelcard because the last/first valid station of the respective tickets are different? I may travel up with a friend (who I share a Two Together Railcard with) and I was...

Hi all, decided to post here as need some advice on the above. I normally pay £57.20 for an ADT when I get the weekday 0846 from Brighton - London Victoria. However after studying the National Conditions Of Travel (particularly clause 14.2 about Zonal tickets and train not having to stop) I...
