Is this how the rail industry should be treating it's customers? https://t.co/5GJtYD8hlv
@TLRailUK how do you justify a £100 Penalty Fare for taking the fastest route? Is your intention to encourage car travel? @AnthonySmithTF @LonTravelWatch @ABCommuters @seatsixtyone

Hi, I bought a train ticket today from London Blackfriars to Watton at Stone. The ticket did not specify anywhere the route that I have to take, apart from not travelling on London Underground. I...

unacceptable - yet again - from @lner
@LNER Thanks. Platform staff say the same. Shame the train is announcing that 0633 tickets are not valid “regardless of what the platform staff say”. I’ve asked 3 times. They even checked with the train driver and I was told it was fine. This is an utter shambles

I’m no fan of Rishi Sunak & don’t want him as our PM, but to lie & say Eat Out To Help out made Covid infections rapidly rise, is a blatant lie. The only ‘evidence’ people try & link,is a laughed at rainfall study by Warwick Uni. Now look at Europes 🦠 curves, they are the SAME.

The Dan Walker incident demonstrates how the obsession with helmets is harmful in the way that it diverts attention away from interventions that would prevent drivers hitting cyclists in the first place, based on nothing more than anecdotes, appeals to fear, and hyperbole.

I can't reply to this @smithystp as you have disabled replies, but this is completely false. Can you substantiate your allegations? Are you aware that train company sites (which often charge more) actually use these third party websites, and just rebrand them?
@RailFareWatch @britbusworldcup @liv_rayment Going direct - booking direct Better for railway staff - easier for guards and station staff to help you out. Trainline and other 3rd party ticket sites often cause staff hassle when they are trying to assist customers.

Again you have disabled replies @smithystp but how is this more costly than using a train company website? How can it cost more, given 85% of the savings, compared to such sites, are passed on?
@RailFareWatch @ImAnAutie @britbusworldcup @liv_rayment @TrainSplit As you say, trainsplit charge a percentage of saving. This is mandatory, not optional, therefore it becomes a fee.

I can't reply to this @SmithysTP but Trainsplit does find returns when they are cheaper than singles.
@RailFareWatch @ImAnAutie @britbusworldcup @liv_rayment @TrainSplit Any journey which involves an off peak single or return from Chester to Crewe, a Chester to Shrewsbury return ticket is cheaper and is valid for people going to Crewe. Same for Chester and Shrewsbury, off peak day return is cheaper than a single.

I can't reply to this @SmithysTP but have Merseyrail enabled the Day Saver for issuing online? If not, @merseyrail need to be told to get this done.
@RailFareWatch @ImAnAutie @britbusworldcup @liv_rayment @TrainSplit Most ticketing sites don't pick up the £5.95 Merseyrails day saver which is valid after 9.30. Trainline I've just checked wants to charge £8.55 single, £8.75 return. That's upto a £2.80 saving.

I wonder what flights these are from Leeds to central London for 55 quid at peak times; anyone know?
@helenpidd £110 for me to buy a single from Leeds to London later this month. I mean at this point I may as well fly - it's less than half the price and is much less likely to be cancelled

I don't know who this @keikoandgilly person thinks they are, but they seem to excel at false equivalences.

That N95s don't prevent respiratory viruses is not a surprise @amberloyse
I have worn my n95 religiously, I don’t go out without it. The stakes are too high for me. Tested positive today along with my 4 yo and 9 yo who also mask consistently. This is just fucked.
