Excellent thank you

Just wondered if anybody on here knows whether in the following circumstances the 04:30 transport day change for fares purposes is relevant. This is for TfL travel only, within London, Oyster not contactless, bus only. Board night bus at 0400 Board second night bus at 0450 The 0430 day...

Just a word of warning about this, you don’t mention when you’re travelling, but this weekend I believe there may be no Elizabeth line in the central London core area. Further information here...

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen signs at Tottenham Court Road Elizabeth line stating very definitely that ticket on departure (ToD) is not available. I assume Bond Street is the same. Happy to be corrected

Here are the boundary zone 6 to Reading fares. You can search either with or without a discount by changing the railcard / discount box To go from Paddington via West Drayton to Reading you’ll need the via Slough option. https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=QAJ&dest=RDG&period=20240401

Yes 1715833246 Thanks for this.

Just enclosing some images from a tube station ticket hall I passed through today. For clarity, there are three machines, two small, which usually accept coins and cards but no notes, one large which usually accepts notes, coins and cards. All now have signs suggesting that - until further...

Oops thanks.

From Train passengers have won £25million in the UK's largest ever class action lawsuit payout after they were overcharged for their tickets. An estimated 1.4 million people who travelled on mainline trains operated by Stagecoach South Western Trains (SSWT) to Waterloo are in line for up to...

Thanks. Yes – I buy tickets before boarding the train as well that’s not my query To use an example - I’m boarding a train that departs at 1500. - The train departed the origin on my ticket at 1430 - To book that ticket via a journey planner, I may need to buy it for a train which departs...

Condition 4.2 states (my bold) So I’d say yes to a late running train. Wait for others though to see if there’s a consensus https://www.network-railcard.co.uk/help/railcard-terms-conditions/

Following on from this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/ticket-on-train-confusion-penalty-fare.265255/ Whenever I need to start a journey short (ie my ticket is valid from stations before the point at which I board the train) I always buy paper tickets to avoid the issues...

The 1 in 5 “million pounds plus” households are probably in London, Greater London and se England with most of that tied up in their property. They are possibly cash poor in properties they can’t or don’t wish to sell (bc it’s their lifelong home) and have high running costs. They may have...

I think this makes sense, but what’s unfortunate is that advance fares are marketed to passengers by the industry as fares like any other which just offer increased restrictions in return for a reduced price when bought in advance with the idea that the longer in advance you book, the bigger the...

This was from an email sent to me by TfL when I asked if I could have the refund to my web account. They said that unfortunately it’s no longer an option. I haven’t seen it documented online but they have now refunded to my bank account.
