Paying too much for travel?
Hi recently my car broke down, and for about two weeks I had to travel in London by train. I just used my bank card to touch in and out. My question is what is the daily rate limits and caps. I understand it's more during peak hours. I did some research and found travelcards are £12 per day zones 1-6? Some of my daily…

Contactless vs Travelcard from Luton to Olympia
Apologies if this is a really simple question, but I don't use trains that often! I am making a visit to the Food Show in Olympia this week, and I had intended at Luton to buy an all day travel card. i think these are about £20-30? But by chance I stumbled across a website that said it would be cheaper just to use a…

Rail Tickets and Purchase Protection
I think I already know the answer to this but I thought I'd ask just incase... I have bought two rail tickets for myself and a friend (£80 total) - they are 'advance' tickets so are not eligible for a refund under the Great Western terms and conditions - the offer to change them for a £10 fee plus the difference is about…

Trainline.com Dishonesty - Help Please
Good afternoon, I'm having a spot of trouble with TheTrainline.com. I ordered some tickets and they sent me twice as many as I needed and charged me extra for them. Regardless of how that happened, they agreed to a refund if I return the tickets - £214.80 is owed. I returned them but the trainline claimed not to have…

Virgin train offer
After reading the new newsletter, I've just been on the O2 Priority App. And there's no offers for Virgin Trains! I can wait until tomorrow, but there's nothing like queue jumping. Any idea why it isn't working? A mistake on MSE's behalf?

How long does it take for payment for bus on card
Bought a weekly ticket last week, and Im sure it varies but wondered in general. A £1 card authorisation was taken straight away (but now doesn't show) its now a week later and payment hasn't been taken. Just wondered if this was normal behaviour. (the fact im trying to get a refund from them of course doesn't help!) This…

Bikeability
I have tried to find a Bikeability course for my daughter to make sure she is adequately prepared for cycling on the roads. I went so far as to try to arrange a course. Her last school agreed to run a course, but it didn't happen. If there are independent courses I can't find them. Surely it shouldn't be hard to get a…
