As per the title. National Rail goes by "A", whereas RTT reports it as "L". I'm pretty sure pre-expansion of the main station, it was "1" (which probably led to some confusion). Any help appreciated.

Some services that terminate at Waltham Cross during engineering start from P2 and run bang line to Brimsdown before crossing back. Confuses the normals at both Waltham Cross and Enfield Lock.

Highly recommend using openstreetmap.org for finding the whereabouts of footbridges and underpasses on stations... has much more detail than google/etc. Looks like you had a good time in my neck of the woods on Saturday. If all goes to plan, I'll be in Glasgow next Saturday as well... you...

I have used a passenger train from Wimbledon P4 (have a picture somewhere), but it is very rare. P1-4 all have 4 rails (one being the 3rd rail!), so could be used in theory? Was you able to catch a train into Victoria P2 via Stewarts Lane?... one little crossover on the approach that would...

Thank you so much... Massive to finally finish the 350s later on :)

If anyone can help me finish class 350 and 465 for haulage with the following, it would be greatly appreciated (have a travelcard and ready to go!) : Just need one working and can work from RTT if that helps? 350260 465006 465037 465038 465911 465919 Thanks :D

Not really a TOPS request, but does this help? http://www.charlwoodhouse.co.uk/rail/livetrain/C87894/24/02/24 If you do a lot of travelling, make note of the UID (e.g. C87894), then you can work out the url for the above site easily.

On my recent visits to SE land, they are running more 12 car trains as oppose to 10 car (using a 466)... Anyone know why?

Are the 456's still in store and serviceable? They are sorely missed.

Trackmaps says 8 car, but not sure about a 700. Still not entirely convinced this will happen on the day.

I'm sure you've already seen this on UTTracker, but it seems some services (3 to be precise) will be using Huntingdon P1 Bay platform soon o_O Didn't think that would be happening again.

Mentioned this in another thread: I frequently buy a Travelcard Zone 1-9 with a Gold Card discount and every time I go through Liverpool Street station, the barrier invalidates the ticket (goes in and out the machine 2-3 times). Having had this happen 3 or so times and I now have to find...

Just to throw something into the mix... how would a Zone 1-9 Travelcard be viewed if purchased from an Underground Station- this has no "AAA 7-9" nonsense on it (from memory) and is an identical product.

Don't know if it is because I use a gold card discount or using a zone 1-9 travelcard, but be careful when using that gates if going via Liverpool Street as the blooming things scratch/magnetise the barcode and make you find someone to let you in/out of gates from that point on.

It's looking that way on https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:GLQ/2024-01-29/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt (link to realtimetrains.co.uk showing all trains at Glasgow Queen Street on 29th January 2024). Trains towards Edinburgh turning back at Linlithgow with no onward...
