    I'm happy with Oxford's equaliser, Wycombe very much contenders and we've made 7 points on them in a week.  And 7 points on Oxford too.   Could also say the difference between us and Pompey is Re

Stick it in anyway. We’ve ended up with full refunds despite arriving on time and getting home 90 minutes early 😂 

Tell me more/how 😉

Travelled down to London for the match last Thursday.  No barriers or inspectors at Wigan.  Train Manager couldn't be arsed coming down the train to check tickets and straight through open barriers at Euston. 

Left car at Wigan.  Came back yesterday.  Put car park ticket in the machine at the station expecting to pay £40, just spat the ticket back out. Walked out to use the other ticket machine in the car park, barrier propped wide open.  Result.

No wonder the trains are loss making.

Amazing how good they are at sneaking under the 30 minute barrier (50% of ticket to the uninitiated)

You got lucky with the car park! The one across the road (little ginnel by Swan & Railway) is only a fiver a day and locks up at night if you’re leaving it overnight.

Isn’t it😀

tbh I didn’t realise we set off that late as everyone was chatting away 

Sent my claim in today for the cancelled 18-53

bit of a ball ache to do as had to register with a anti and then complete per ticket (had split tickets) so will see what happens.

something is better than nothing

Worth registering for automatic delay repay with Avanti (although it only seems to apply for delays and not cancellations judging by my experience this weekend)

I can't do technical stuff so sent my 18-53 ticket to Northern delay repay by freepost & hope that they forward it to Avanti, they have done previously but it's hit & miss.

Do you get paid out if you jumped on an earlier train?

My lad got the early one, we got the later

Looks like its paid on each ticket

Yes just don’t mention it

Bet there’s a fair bit of compensation getting paid across many different services Saturday, no wonder there changing the timetables

No.  To be fair both trains spot on time.

Cheers.  Remember using that one when they were building the multi story but forgotten about it.

The railway one used to be just a fiver per day on Saturday's and Sunday's but charge a flat daily rate now.

I've got history with those barriers.  Last year they wouldn't open when I put the ticket in.  A guy had to turn out, took him about 20 minutes to get there to open them.

Did the same trip for Reading the other week.  Again returned on the Sunday.  Paid for the car park and then the barrier just opened automatically when I drove to it.  At first thought have they installed ANPR, but they haven't.
