Yes, I remember a chap who used to park a van on the corner of the main road and a side street about half a mile from where I lived and sell copies from there, by 5:45 every Saturday there’d be a sizeable crowd building up waiting for copies to arrive, this was mid seventies. These days I will...

Point one is not in dispute, I merely asked them was there any ticket acceptance and mentioned my PRO rights which, as I said, they acknowledged and referred me to GC if I wanted to go down that route. @800001 ah, that makes some sense in that sorting out multiple passengers disrupted by...

Agree re option three, I’ve had run ins with ticket agencies refusing to refund booking and other fees when an event is cancelled because “it’s in our t’s and c’s”, whereas my understanding is that you would be legally entitled to a full refund of all monies paid, however they get away with it...

Yes, still here waiting for the 12:30. Decided I’d rather not tie up the cost of an LNER super offpeak single (which was the cheapest option for immediate travel) and then have to threaten to pursue GC through the courts if they refused to reimburse it, when it’s potentially less hassle to suck...

I arrived at Sunderland at 10:00, to find the 10:17 to Kings Cross, for which I have an advance, cancelled. I spoke to ticket office who said there’s no LNER acceptance and to get the 12:30. I wuoted my PRO rights, which they acknowledged but said I’d have to take it up with GC if I bought a...

The volunteer had told me they were usually opened around 8:30 and it was just a minute or two after that. Granted, he didn’t know they were about to open, the irony was in him saying “who’s going to know”? and then proceeding to “go” up the side of the building in full view of people walking or...

Visited a new (to me) parkrun venue, yesterday, the park was advertised as having toilets, I arrived around half eight and found them but they weren’t open. A nearby volunteer who was marking out the course said they usually opened around that time. Started having a warm up jog up and down the...

I did this once where I came back into Euston from the midlands and absent mindedly touched out with my card instead of using my paper ticket to exit the barrier. Emailed the help desk and they refunded my card as it was my first time, but said they might want evidence of a paper ticket if it...

I’ve run the Croydon 10k multiple times, last year was cancelled, they’re having to come up with a new route as TFL have decided it’s no longer allowed to cross the tram line at Lloyd Park. Previously there was a marshal there and final instructions given to runners were to stop if/as necessary...

Someone please remind me whether contactless is valid at Reading Green Park or not?

I don’t get it either. How much “debris” was there, what was it, why did it seemingly take ages to remove it such that a significant number of trams were damaged, and where was it?

I’d be quick if I were you as it said there were only 760 left…..

Some years ago there was a TFL night bus route which ran past the bottom of my road, I used to get the last bus of the night to work when I was on the 6am shift, every morning at one particular stop at around 5:50 the driver would jump out, leaving the engine running, and go in the newsagents to...

Other members are more knowledgable than myself but my belief is that you were entitled to ask Grand Central to reroute you under the PRO and you were under no obligation to purchase another ticket. I will, however, leave other members to work out what would have been the best course of action...

That’s what’s confusing me, £10.80 is the first fare listed in the results, but then there’s a “via zone 1 changing at West Hampstead and Willesden Junction” for a tenner?

Fare finder has no “avoiding zone 1” fare for this journey. Using contactless, if you go Redhill-Clapham Junction-pink reader-Southern to Watford Junction what can you expect to be charged?

But Guernsey, Jersey and IoM coins work in vending machines, do they not, so you can always get rid of them there. I’m sure I’ve found Baliwick Of Jersey 2p’s or IoM 20p’s in my till drawer that one of the colleagues has inadvertently taken in.

At my workplace we are told to call the supervisor to check all Scottish notes. One customer kicked off at a colleague, arguing that he was in a hurry and she was wasting time by calling a manager, and in any case she had to accept it because it was legal tender. After some debate with the...
