i have the same retired TFL PTAC card, is there any chance in future we might get access to the RST online booking system at some point, it would make life easier..
I also use the LNR service to and from Derby from London Euston, the EMR service is a pile of tosh, and highly unreliable. LNR are also generally 10 or 12 coaches..
