Split off from "keeping fares down" sticky topic - GrahameCan I just add to this, the cheaper the ticket, the less flexibility. It's no good buying a ^7.50 YP railcard advanced ticket for the 23.30 from London to Cardiff, and expecting to travel on the 18.15 without the railcard and then moan when told pay up or leave. Advanced tickets have NO flexibility built in. It doesn't matter how empty the train is, or how sick your granny is, or how early your flight was, or what the man on the platform said to you, if you miss the train for any reason that is not due to the railway network (and this does not include London Underground), or get on an earlier train - the ticket is not valid for any other service. And if you do not sort out your ticket at the ticket office, the only ticket we are obliged to sell on-train is the full ANYTIME ticket. Please remember this, I don't like argueing with people on-train, (or charge a couple ^150 for two tickets to Bristol when they thought they were doing the journey for ^20) I'd rather just stamp a valid ticket, say "Thank you" and move on!  hi there is no 23.30 london to cardiff

I wouldn't take this seriously - we do have a certain "tongue in cheek" sense of humour on this board!  |

I'm sorry to see anyone leave this forum, plejaren - even if that is what they choose to do. We are all rather 'passionate' about the rail industry here - that's why we all joined, after all. However, I wish you well, and thank you for your contribution. Chris. |

And that sums it up - not once has plejeran made any real post that is passionate about the railways - other than stating he is.
But then I dont - and I'm not really - I just want to mitigate having to use them daily to my own advantage!
