Cairn Terrier Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Might be other engineering work elsewhere affecting tickets I was kind of assuming it was industrial action that was affecting everything, but maybe not.Anyway thanks for all the replies and any other suggestions are welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until you get to Carlisle and buy it there. Think the CDR is about £6.50 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.i Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just please don't buy your tickets from Trainline; the Ticketmaster of rail travel. Also been known to sell tickets for services that don't exist due to engineering works etc... You can almost always get the cheapest tickets from the website of the company you are going to travel with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul_Latif Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Reading this morning that ScotRail were refused their request to return to normal as regards alcohol on board by Jenny Gilruth. Looks like that’s it for drinking on trains then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our nanny state leaders in full effect again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 What ban on alcohol ??? It's totally "notional" with zero adherence or enforcement. Utterly pointless nonsense. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The British Transport Police confirm the blindingly obvious that nearly all the trouble comes from people who are already tanked up getting on the train, it's pointless and seriously annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
