Weather ‘warning’? What weather!

I previously posted that we have had a weather warning issued by the Met Office and to be prepared for the worst. Well down here in the south at least nothing happened. Yeah sure there was a bit of strong winds and some rain, but where was the snow that we were warned about?

For a change nothing actually happened on the railway. The overheads at Huntingdon DIDN’T fall down in the windy weather which must be a first. The signals at Finsbury Park DIDN’T fail.

Roll on next week, and the next wednesday disruption.

Ok we are back

Due to a major techical fault which could not be rectified the site was down for an extended period.

We hopfully have sorted it, however there could still be residual delays.

We have also installed a USB leaf blower on the server.

Family Railcard for Half Price (£10)

It’s possible to buy the Family Railcard for £10, half the normal price of £20. The railcard lasts 12 months and gives a third off many adult fares and 60% off childrens’ fares throughout Great Britain.

To use the railcard at least one child and one adult must travel although up to four adults and four children can go, plus there’s no need for them all to be related. For the purposes of the family railcard a child is aged between 5 and 15 years.

This means even if you’re just doing one big journey in the year in these conditions, the purchase price of the ticket should easily be saved.

What should I do?

Simply go to the Family Railcard website (link below), complete the application form and in the promotional code box enter either of these two codes: FRACXG10 or FREXPN10. Offer ends 31 October.

Are there any restrictions on use?

The railcard can’t be used during peak times Monday to Friday if the journey is entirely in the London or South East area.

Upgrades again.

Following the last posting. The new blogging version has been updated and you might notice some slight tweeks here and there.

However we decided not to change the sites design as to be honest we couldnt find any decent ones.

Upgrades

You may see a few changes to the site overnight and into tomorrow. TheTicketCollector.co.uk is tinkering with some new designs.

It has also been decided that an upgrade to the Latest version of our blogging software will also take place.

New way to contact Theticketcollector.co.uk

The site has now intergrated a nice new contact form for you to contact the site. We have email issues recently so we decided to add a nice new shiny form for people to directly type into to contact the site.

Due to the increase in spam we have had to add a robot confuser form, this is the Yes/No question.

Try the form now and send us an Email, we do respond belive it or not!
