    Penalty Fare advice - please help!

    Jenny, LM = London Midland, the train/station operator. Although I can see you have made a simple mistake due to not thinking it was wrong due to it being the same fare. Can you not have a word with the Student union to see if they can help, they might have had something like this...

    National Express fare madness

    cuccir - The reason the £7 fare only shows for Newcastle is because the competition i.e. megabus dose not stop at Durham. You can use the Newcastle ticket to Durham as long as you tell the driver you intend to get off at Durham, two reasons for this are if the service has no pickup or drop-offs...

    South Pennine Day Ranger & Cross Country trains

    Could the same not be said about the Tyne Tees day ranger. Its on the map as being valid Darlington to Northallerton Via Thornaby. Would someone without local knowledge know its not valid direct as a non stop train will not travel via Thornaby.

    Old Timer - Although these incidents are very annoying you did the right thing and let it go.

    Ticket costing less than its face value.

    I have just bought two single tickets from Durham to Manchester through the Transpenninexpress/sale.co.uk web site, nothing strange there I guess..... But on the screen the price was £18.80 for two people with a disabled railcard discount, so guessing it was £9.40 each. Now my card has...

    Spotters salute

    Forgive me if I look stupid here but .............. on the picture of the train with all those people hanging from it is that in service or is this picture posed. Would think some drivers would have a good laff at using the windscreen washers and wipers, and how many would you lose with a...

    Ticket Barriers

    Just a few question's about how the barriers work. More towards the ones that dont keep your ticket but also one about the ones that do. If I travel from York to Newcastle at say 09:00 in the morning and arrive at Newcastle at around 10:00 if I then think I will stay on the platform for a...

    Ticketing Anomalies - Starting a journey short

    91107- Can you not just buy the ticket at Crewe, I was under the impression you could buy tickets for any journey and not just from the station your at. Is this not how split ticketing works or do you have to get tickets from all the stations you split at.

    Ticketing Anomalies - Starting a journey short

    I think this is relating to a penalty for not having a valid ticket. And the starting bit is for saying you started at B when you really travelled further from C, so your avoiding the payment between C and B, and trying to pay the fare from B to A only.

    Ticketing Anomalies - Starting a journey short

    Tried to think of something logical to add to this thread but I cant think of a good example. One example that to me looks along the same lines is if I go into Macdonalds and only want a drink and burger I will buy a meal deal. With the meal deal I will also get fries this works out cheaper...
