LNER's new 70 minutes semi-flex ticket starts tomorrow. We like that idea, but hate the demise of the Super Off-Peak ticket. That means that on some trains there is a 130% price increase. That's definitely unwanted. Read our press release at railfuture.org.uk/Press-release-…

Interested in what @ScotRail are planning for passengers? You have an opportunity to find out at the @RailfutureScot public meeting in Edinburgh on Sat 30 Sept at 14:00, when they will be the guest speaker. Easy to find venue in the Old Town.

@BBCNews Why refer to 'Regulated train fares'? Old divide of regulated (set by government) and unregulated (set by train companies) ended in March 2020. All fare income for the DfT-managed operators now goes directly to the Treasury, 100% of it. Every such fare rise is driven by govt.

@BBCNews BBC news item: "Rail fares in England to rise below inflation again in 2024" But RPI is not a legitimate measure of inflation. It is outmoded. It is maintained mainly for index-linked pensions. Official rate of inflation uses CPI which (barring big interest rate drop) is lower.

Very revealing that at the end of my R4 Today interview re TOs this morning at c0722, @JustinOnWeb said that RDG had been invited to come on the programme “….but they didn’t want to.” Says it all re this idiotic plan if even they are running scared to defend it. Kill it now.

@TransportFocus @AnthonySmithTF We shouldn't be thankful that fare rises will be "delayed" until March 2024. That will be 12 months after last rise. Has been March for last two years, so everyone expected March next year. Capping "below" RPI could mean anything, and could still be above the 'proper' CPI rate.

@AnthonySmithTF Question, Anthony. We're sure that some @Railfuture members, all of whom care about rail passengers, might be interested. However, would active involvement in rail campaigning disbar them from being appointed? We wondered what might be considered a conflict of interest.

This Northern TVM appears to have a lot of functionality - it even does rovers. But why does it say "please wait" for so long, and appear not to work once you get to the end? Doesn't matter how many functions it has, if it takes too long and you end up abandoning your purchase.
Tyne Valley Rail Users' Group (TVRUG)@TVLRUG

After a member's troubles with a TVM at Haydon Bridge this morning, attempting to buy an Open Return from Carlisle to Preston, we thought we'd go on an adventure ourselves too, trying to buy the same ticket at @northernassist owned Blaydon... Sadly the TVM is as far as we got!

The false impression that rail fares are high, because of the overly complex fare structure, is a real concern that @Railfuture has raised in the past, and continues to raise. Of course, if you don't give ticket staff enough info they may not be able to work out the best deal.

@RussW3 Researching train fares at home (or work) to avoid stress at a station is sensible. Many ways that TVMs could be improved, such as remembering your last three purchases. Your idea would need TVM to have a sensor to read QR code on either a smartphone or a piece of paper.

A 'nice' feature of the Great Northern ticket machines is that they tell you what you can't buy up front on the home page - saves you time trying to find them and failing. A nicer feature would be if it actually sold most of those 'not available' tickets. It's not rocket science

Many Rail User Groups (RUGs) are affiliated to @Railfuture. They remain independent of us, and make their own decisions, but benefit from our advice and support. FLUA (Cambridge - King's Lynn) wrote this in its submission about Ticket Office proposals. flua.org.uk

Belgian state railway SNCB has simple-to-use but quite powerful TVMs. Anyone who has shopped using a website knows how to use an online shopping basket, and that's how their TVMs work. You can add a series of 'products' (they use single-leg pricing in Belgium) and then you pay.
