Perhaps they are only trying to restrict morning travel to London and
are encouraging travel in the other direction. Evening peak travel is
prohibited.

Safety Issue?
Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:39:57 +0100
I've just been leafing through some photographs and one appears to show the
driver of a train reading (a newspaper?) whilst travelling at (probably)
80-90 mph.
If that was a lorry driver I believe (1) it's dangerous (even though a lorry
won't be that fast) (2) it's illegal. Do similar rules apply to trains? ...

Are there evening off peak restrictions on SWT?
Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:57:41 +0100
I'm looking at booking a Off peak Anytime period, oh bugger, A saver return
from my local station to STN for weekday travel (next week).
Looking in the NationalRail website it tells me that I can use it out on the
09:0 something, which surprised me, but that I can't use it from about 15:00
to 17:30 for return ...

(Lack of) interavailable first class fares
Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:14:17 GMT

FOS/FOR from London to York - only operator specific first class fares.
A bit of googling of old uk.r posts finds some discussion of this from
last year.
But I'm curious: does the rule of adding 50% to the price of a standard
class ticket n ...

In the peak? Really? That seems way too low - it's ¡ê30+ for a SDR
from MKC-EUS. Somewhere around 50 quid would seem closer to the mark.
Or are LM's p ...
