Delay repay - off peak ticket
Hi guys I had an off peak return from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street. I could go any route permitted. I reserved a seat on the 11:43, which was on time, but since I had an off peak return for that day, I ended up getting the 12:43, which was over 20 minutes late. I have put in a claim for delay repay, since the…

TfL - the 2 for 2 bus fare policy on certain off peak hours
Hi all, I heard it was mentioned about an upcoming 2 for 2 london bus off peak fare, where after the first one hour 'Hopper' fare of £1.75, the cost of any journey in the second off peak hour is only 25p, making for two pounds in the first two off peak hours? Does anyone know when this is happening, or when this comes into…

Delay Repay: Cancelled, so took an earlier train?
My intended train was cancelled because of infrastructure problems. An alternate valid train was about to leave when I realised this at the station, so I hopped on it. But had I not been so lucky, I would've been delayed nearly 50 minutes. I will have scanned my tickets at both the departure and arrival station. Is my…

East Midlands Railway delay repay
Hi After a terrible day yesterday travelling on EMR I now find their delay repay form isn’t working. Supposed to select stations from a drop down list but it’s not there. Do you think it’s crashed, as most of the line was a shambles yesterday including bus replacement drivers not able to leave on scheduled time due to…

Delay on an earlier train. Can I claim?
My original train was ticketed to leave Euston at 15:50, but I was early enough to be able to get on the 13:50 instead. The 13:50 ended up running 20 minutes late so technically I was delayed even though I arrived at my destination earlier than planned. Am I able to claim as the train I was on was delayed?

£2 bus fares going up to £3
Amidst all the budget speculation about pensions and national insurance, this seems to have slipped under the MSE radar. The Prime Minister has said the current subsidised £2 bus fares will increase to £3. 50% is quite a hike, but I don't think the scheme was ever intended to last as long as it has. Not sure if any bus…

Senior railcard - is this age discrimination?
I bought a senior railcard for myself and an 18-25 railcard for my daughter - same time . Same price each. But is this discrimination? For me to buy a return to London during peak time I get no discount on a return ticket using my senior railcard, paying £36.20 - if I buy 2 singles I can get the cost down to £33.20. Yet my…

She queried this and Uber agreed to refund. Since then (2 months+) no money has been received and she has contacted Uber and her bank for…

LNER cashback
LNER has always been a good company to book train tickets through, because they always seem to have cashback offers on various debit and credit cards. And it works even if it's not an LNER service that you want. But I'm trying to book now and I just get an error message "Something’s gone wrongWe seem to be having a slight…
