Yeah sometimes works, sometimes it doesn’t, Liverpool and United seem to be particularly oversubscribed.

Rather than it being walk up, its more in times where services are busy, advance fares are limited number, I find especially on the West Coast that advance aren't available when we play up in Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool as they have already been snapped up before the fixtures are...

I think they provide a decent service with what they've got, the infrastructure lets them down more than anyone on that route. I'm not a fan of their disruption planning, but that isn't an issue that solely is them and is industry wide at the moment. I do think their pricing is...

Here is the £192. The list of walk up fares listed here. A random Friday in January isn't going to be a busy travel day, but lets say a bank holiday Monday or just before Christmas. The point on the capacity expansion is that money could be moved into improving the infrastructure, I agree the...

i was going to say, I know someone who fell foul of this, and had to pay it all back!

No I don’t realise LNER are government run? Of course I do. LUMO and Hull Trains are not the main fare abstractors on this route, Cross Country, Transpennine and Grand Central are also there, so that isn’t pure Gubbins. It’s incredibly complicated at the moment, but the profit is incredibly up...

I think this is the lack of understanding here, the pay increases aren't factored into the algorithm that increases the fares, I know that for a fact. There's been a 5% fare rise almost every year, the 9% (ish) pay rise that most employees got recently was the first pay rise in almost 5 years...

God knows what the money is being spent on because it certainly isn’t infrastructure or stock. A lot of it is because of increased mileage costs. I did a few studies on it at University on my transport and logistics course., but I’m now working in the timetabling side so have very little to do...

Funny you bring this up, as there has been an alteration in the prices from 5th Feb as a pilot on LNER, which is eliminating off peak and super off peak fares, which is a price rise from £87 to £193. This is just price gouging from the companies and DfT. It’s an independent regulator that sets...

For sure its not that annoying and only a mild irritation, but people seem to talking about the points more than anything at the moment.

Sorry I was a bit short there, I’m just getting a bit tired of the points conversation. I think people have lost track of what going to some of these away games is about, which is (as @Guinness Boy said) getting pissed on the train and supporting the team. It’s a Saturday 3pm so it makes sense...

I think the encouragement to go should be, to support the team in a tough away fixture in a winnable cup. That’s why I’m going.

judging by the 310 points that would indicate we’ve only got 2800? Or at least we’ve definitely got 2800 with a view to more. I imagine Sheffield United will hold the upper tier back. Seems sensible from both clubs IMO.
