NRCoT 2025 - omitted clauses
 
NRCoT 2025 - omitted clauses
Posted by Trowres at 22:33, 26th March 2026
 
I was looking for clauses on excess fares in the current (2025) National Rail Conditions of Travel (NRCoT). I noticed that, compared with the 2024 version, a couple of significant clauses were missing from my PDF download. They are part of The Routes You May Use and are:

13.1.3 any other routes as shown in the ‘National Routeing Guide

13.2 If you make a journey by a route that is not valid you will be liable to pay an excess fare. The price for this will be the difference between the amount paid for the Ticket you hold and the lowest price Ticket available for immediate travel that would have entitled you to travel by that route

In the 2025 version, 13.1.2 is followed by two information boxes, then 13.3.


Firstly, would someone like to confirm that the omission is general, and not restricted to my copy of NRCoT?
