I'd be happy with a blanket fares reduction of 20% in exchange for abolishing Delay Repay, nothing less with how unreliable things are at the moment.

Yes this is fine, the Wakefield stations are both a fares group and a routeing group, and tracing the mapped route Chesterfield-Sheffield-Swinton-Wakefield Group (Westgate then Kirkgate) doesn't involve any doubling back. Then local journey to Normanton. So overall a Chesterfield to Normanton...

After a couple of days reflecting on this experience, I think the main issues leading to self-evacuations were a) Apparent lack of motivation to get passengers moving without extreme delay and b) Lack of communication on how long the delay was going to be, making it look like they had no idea...

Got to Wakefield 5.5 hours late in the end.

Just left Grantham 4.5 hours late. Update: now stopped near Bentley due to signal cable theft. Running 5 hours late.

Currently stuck on 1D32 which has been stopped south of Grantham for over 3 hours now after 1D31 has apparently struck a deer and come to a halt in Stoke Tunnel, affecting several other services. At least one train in the area has had some passengers self-evacuating against instructions. There...

I understand that this action is effectively discontinued due to the issue of funding. Also, the previously posted judgment seemed to indicate a breakdown in relations between the funder and the solicitors.

All I can say to them is good luck with making it more expensive to visit Wales.

I have booked to travel from London to Loughborough on a late service now cancelled, so good luck to me I guess!

Fitzwilliam and Sandal & Agbrigg should probably be included in the Wakefield routeing group.

Easements 700473 and 700474 would not apply because your journey is to Worcester, not via Worcester. It doesn't appear valid to me to travel via Worcestershire Parkway on a Longbridge to Worcester fare. Your intended journey might require two tickets, or a season ticket valid between the...

I submitted a claim to them on the 30th and was approved just a few days later.

Tale of two journeys for my nearest and dearest this week. Day return journey from West Yorkshire to London on Grand Central went off without a hitch. Out and back next day journey from West Yorkshire to Norwich has been a clusterfudge in both directions thanks to EMR. Suspect not entirely...

Can a TOC block standalone seat reservations? I've also done dummy bookings for this train on a couple of sites which successfully reserves a seat, but not a standalone reservation via the TPE website.

They also have a '387' map which I saw last week.

Yes and I'm no lawyer either but am under the impression a new class rep has indeed been identified.

There is a period return at £18.80 (£9.40 each way) if you buy to Sheffield, and that is definitely allowed to finish short at Rotherham.

There is no 'doubling back issue', Micklefield is a member of Leeds group and doubling back within a group for interchange purposes is fine. < This is incorrect as it is the destination station in this case.

If Leeds win their FA Cup quarter final then there'll be many more from Yorkshire using the ECML to get to Wembley that weekend, though if on the Saturday it would probably be a teatime kick-off and not too many would book to travel at 8pm given the possibility of extra time.

The Settle & Carlisle is unsurprisingly the shortest route for this journey, so it's definitely valid!
