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.

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…
