    Southern Day Save ticket

    A current problem with this ticket is the situation regarding travelling from Brighton towards Gatwick. Since the December timetable change, there have been no Southern trains from Brighton on the Brighton main line: there were two Thameslink and two Gatwick Express an hour (both GTR brands)...

    Class 745 Stadler FLIRTs

    There was a printed poster at Norwich last week warning that trains may be running without first class, and implying that this was something that can happen when introducing new trains. In fact, most of the Norwich trains were formed of 745/1 units last Monday. A trolley service was operating on...

    How to get people back on trains post COVID-19?

    The Government have now revised their advice for public transport https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers#public-transport Rather than saying “avoid all public transport”, they are now saying: Regarding distancing, they are now saying They...

    Is it time to relax the 2m social distancing guideline? (WHO guidance is 1m)

    I don’t know whether this has been covered earlier, but National Express are restarting their coach services from 1st July (and ahead of the further lockdown relaxations expected on 4th July) https://www.nationalexpress.com/en/help/coronavirus-safety The diagrams imply that they will restrict...

    Class 745 Stadler FLIRTs

    As the 0930 Liverpool St-Norwich was terminated at Ipswich, the return 1200 Norwich-Liverpool St was formed from the 1000 Liverpool St-Norwich (745010), so it was then running half an hour earlier than its normal diagram. The 1030 Liverpool St-Norwich similarly formed the 1230 Norwich-Liverpool...

    Class 800 upgrades to address performance and reliability issues

    Whilst 1h47m from Worcester to Paddington seems good, it looks to me like it ran non-stop from Worcester to Oxford (the following 0825 Foregate St. to Paddington would be only twenty minutes behind). I suggest 54 minutes for 57 miles with seven stops is not realistic. RTT on manually signalled...

    East coast rewards sale

    Thanks Trainlincs – it’s well hidden, as it only seems to be mentioned under a headline relating to new members

    East coast rewards sale

    The rewards are based on the “transaction spend”, so if you combined more journeys in one transaction I think you will qualify. I suspect that the products that don't apply refers to things like Superbreak hotel spend : "3 You will earn Points whenever you spend £22 or more (including the...

    East coast rewards sale

    I was hoping to book some advance tickets with the 100% bonus points, in order to redeem points at a discount. Having booked the tickets earlier this week, I have been allocated points at the normal rate, but the bonus points haven’t appeared yet. Whilst I can see why they may delay issuing...

    An unusual 'signalling' problem....

    Does the reporting number 1P65 mean one pee - 65mins late?

    EC onboard map

    It looks like they may have transferred the feed to an HST, as it is currently reporting on 1S03 0710 Leeds to Aberdeen and is presently heading north of Edinburgh

    freedom pass & add on must train stop at boundary station

    Is there a distinction between a ticket from “boundary zone 6” and a ticket from the boundary station? The ticket machines at Victoria offer tickets from other stations but not, as far as I can see, from Boundary zone 6. Would a ticket from Swanley to Rochester from a machine be just as valid...
