Penalty fare - first time ever!!!
Just over a week ago, I got a penalty fare for the first time in my life. I am on a course at the moment, just two days a week, and the journey is only about ten miles. My fares are refunded so there is absolutely no reason for me to indulge in a bit of "scummy" fare dodging. However, my station does not have a ticket…

Lost ticket - train delayed
I bought a ticket for a certain journey and picked it up about a week in advance, only to end up losing it and of course the collection code wouldn't work a second time. I needed to get where I was going so bought another one at the station just before the train was due at a much higher cost. Whilst I was paying for my…

Who should get compensation for delayed trains paid for by work?
Just a bit of a moral/ ethical dilemma that has been mooted in my house. My partner and I had this discussion this morning as his train was cancelled and co-incidentally I was briefly on the later train he got for 1 stop. So we got to have a very romantic breakfast at Crewe and this was one of the conversations! If work…

interesting weakness with ticket machine
A few weeks ago I did an off peak day trip from London Victoria to Rochester, Kent. I wanted to buy my ticket from the machine at my local station to avoid queues. The night before, I looked the ticket up on the machine to check the price without any problem but didn't buy it then. The following morning I went to buy the…

You rights to a train seat
I remember - almost 30 years ago - travelling on a train to Edinburgh on a pre-booked ticket and requesting a booked seat - which never materialised I decided that, since there were no seats vacant in "cattle class" - I had a right to sit in 1st class - and did so for 95% of the (approx) 8 hour journey Nobody complained…
