The "a" goes with the notice on the end of a "do not travel" notice (or advice).

My wife and I stayed in Belper with the intention of going to a Music Festival that we hadn't fancied camping at. Our hotel gave us 6 taxi numbers when we asked about taxis. At 1500 on a Saturday, 4 numbers didn't pick up, 1 was dead and the only one to answer said they could get a taxi to us...

Not all the tickets are to Hull. From Doncaster there's more non-Hull trains an hour than stations like Burnham and Taplow see on the Elizabeth Line. That suggest one of 2 things: First don't want to share revenue with any non-First companies even where there's no possibility of using them...

That matches the Monday - Friday time restriction for the Two Together railcard. As others have said, restrictions are different for every type of railcard.

It's supposed to be for 6 Fridays from 17th May. I can understand the form not allowing entry between noon on Thursday and the end of Friday or allowing people to claim a ticket for the following Friday, but hiding the details of the offer seems odd. Presumably someone agrees - the page is...

How about ones that confine you too less than one train an hour out of Kings Cross instead of the quarter hourly LNER service?

The 466 is already running, but the two coaches currently run very close together on that section. They don't mention that the service between Bradford and Heathrow has actually halvied.

And (as has been mentioned several times now) they'll be sold a ticket that's about 15% more that lets them get any train company.

As I've mentioned, the times are inconvenient, but they can be used. If they didn't exist, it might be little worse, but I don't see how it would be any better. As you say, tickets with no operator restrictions are not much more expensive - presumably if &connections tickets were added there'd...

This was first mentioned in post #27, but, as @bus9120 mentioned it's had a second drop in price to £25.

Looks like I had chunkier fingers (or brain) than I thought, yesterday. Thanks.

No. A deal has been agreed. It's been cleared by the EU competition regulator, but so far as I know is still waiting for approval from the UK regulator. Once it's got that, assuming no problems it'll probably be a matter of days after that that it's all finalised, so long as iSquared don't...

I'm not sure what you're asking here. Franchisees are expected to operate as much of the network as possible and face penalties if they don't.

Because this is in line with the way the Rail Industry is currently set up. LNER have chosen to have &connections tickets. They'll sell more of these as there's a lot more connections that work, but they're more expensive than Hull&GWR. If you force Hull Trains (who are not a franchise...

This fare was designed to only be valid on First group companies. It still is.
