Fare dodgers targeted as train ticket refund rules are tightened In a bid to clamp down on ticket fraud that costs the railways millions each year, the government has quietly changed the rules on claiming refunds for unused train tickets.

DON'T BUY TRAIN TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
On 1 April, the government is quietly changing the rules.
Off-Peak & Anytime tickets become non-refundable after 23:59 the day BEFORE you travel.
If you wake up & find your event cancelled, NO REFUNDS, even on £100+ tickets.

Sleepless in Stranraer? – Eachdraidh is aiseirigh nan Trèanaichean Caidil Sna latha an-diugh, chan eil ach dà sheirbheis trèana-caidil air fhàgail ann am Breatainn – an Night Riviera eadar Pennsans/Penzance agus Lunnainn Paddington agus an Caledonian Sleeper eadar 5 diofar cinn-ùidh ann an Alba agus Lunnainn Euston. Tha na trèanaichean sin gu math feumail agus a’ toirt seachad seirbheis chudromach, ach an robh fhios agad gum b’ àbhaist tòrr a bharrachd seirbheisean a bhith ann uair?

Phil Collins and Oasis nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Jeff Buckley, Lauryn Hill, Pink, Shakira and Mariah Carey are also among the 17 nominees this year.

Whit? Phil Collins air ainmeachadh airson a dhol dhan rock & roll hall of fame? An àite sin, bu chòir dha a bhith a' dol dhan phrìosan airson eucoirean an aghaidh ciùil!!!
