Many thanks for replies so far. To note I wasn't at a Portsmouth station today-indeed many miles away. Also it didn't show on national rail search,which concerned me. From your replies,this is valid-I should not have to use TPE etc when every day I can buy face to face surely...

Good evening Looking to travel from Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde PH next Saturday as a foot passenger with my family (wife and 2 kids, 7 and 2). I'll be in the Portsmouth area, the ferry isn't cheap so looking at any sorts of discount - and I found this...

You have hit the nail on the head here (and understood what i'm trying to do). Thanks for the response. I'm not sure if I feel any worry or not - yes I know I'm 100% in the right, but-for example-I believe the letter of the rules are that I have to approach the guard at the earliest...

My apologies as I wasn't clear. I have a (paper) travelcard which is zones 3-6 plus my journey out of the London fare zones, so no I don't have to queue and (as I'm out of London) don't have the ability to top in/out etc. I guess this all sounds petty but every journey for 10 years being...

I will accept I'm not an expert at TVMs but they do read this discount, show up 2gpb after going through the process but then the 'confirm my selection' doesn't work. And this isn't exactly a random, little used or known discount. Never complained about queuing either at office or...

I have a z3-6 travelcard, and am well versed with the 'approaching the guard' scenario as I have to do it every time the office isn't open and I go to z1. 9 times out of 10 the admittedly friendly guards tell me that I have to go to the gateline at Waterloo (along with a fair few others)...

Which is my point...SWT have made a commercial decision not to open the office as it would cost more than the evasion-fair enough. But if they allow child tickets to be bought through the TVM, it is completely counterintuitive to penalise (whether in cost or convenience) those of us who shell...

Joe Public would have to go through a number of questions ie are you a child, do you have a gold card? This is a published, public, fare and imho not the same as your priv fares. To confirm that it is the fare for accompanying children on a gold card. And I don't want the faff of online. And...

Before I start complaining, would value your understanding on this... I have a swt issued gold card. My son has just turned 5, we take trains a lot. When I try to buy a £2.00 ticket for him, the TVMs won't issue it. I did ask at the ticket office and was told it 'wasn't programmed' Really...

Many thanks for the replies. Unfortunately Claygate has no Permit to Travel machines-I think most SWT stations lost them when penalty fares were introduced So essentially - there is no guaranteed way to avoid problems, owing to a commercial decision by SWT to not offer me the opportunity...

Hi This has been bugging me for some time...advice please... I've got a annual gold card which takes me from london zones to Clandon in Surrey. Quite often I go to Guildford from Clandon - no problem, just buy a ticket and get the discount. However, I also pretty regularly go up to...
