It seems to be somewhat different to single leg pricing - for example Waterloo to Windsor and Eton Central has an off-peak single paper ticket (https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=WAT&dest=WNR&period=20250608) and the return fares are twice the single. Fares on the GWML haven't been...

Heathrow may, but the stations solely served by the Elizabeth line out to Reading don't. It's the same with other disruption - they arrange ticket acceptance on London buses, but nothing further out.

Thanks - I'm not sure that quite covers what I'm looking for - it may be I need to be more specific in P-coding. For example this train (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P01840/2025-02-23/detailed) is shown as CAN, but has been replaced with this train...

Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this question in.... Do any of the open data sites allow users to check if a train has been P-Coded as a cancellation, or, indeed, to report on all P-Coded cancellations for a particular operator/at a particular station. I have looked on various open...

I think there may be a number of issues that cause the lack of support: 1 - the benefits have not been explained. It is sold as faster trains to London, rather than more capacity for trains on the existing lines. 2 - if the benefits were explained, it will look like another South East centric...

Thanks. Is there a reason for that, as (after having not been in London for ages and not normally using Liverpool Street, I've been there quite a lot), I connected from Moorgate to Liverpool Street Elizabeth Line and it seemed to be a long walk, compared to the walk from the gateline at...

I was catching a train on the Elizabeth Line from Liverpool Street last Sunday and just missed a train on the Reading branch, so were sat for about half an hour waiting, and was interested that the "This is an update from the station control room..." messages were broadcast from the Moorgate...

This would also help people who forget the terms and conditions - if you have a 3-year railcard, are you necessarily going to remember the Ts & Cs when you signed up. I have a Two Together railcard that I signed up for last year and I can't remember every part of the contract, neither do I check...

I saw this thread on X/Twitter this morning https://x.com/jackfifield/status/1843648136268656806 by Jack Fifield, currently of the Bolton News, detailing instances of S5(3) RORA being used to prosecute people where they had used a railcard but whilst a minimum fare applied: This is in response...

Reluctant as I am to get involved with this discussion, it seems that this is part of the problem. If this was a private business, there would be lots of people with an incentive to end the strike who could bring pressure to bear - for example shareholders and customers. Because of the nature...

That surely depends on what the outcome of the legal action is. It's possible that whoever is responsible will just pay up to make the legal action go away. Not having seen any statistics, it may even be cheaper in the long run to keep paying out on claims like this rather than make changes to...

My other half commutes to and from Windsor and Eton Central, and there are no automatic barriers, just gates in the fence at the buffer end and half way down the platform which are open pretty much all the time. Other than very occasional revenue blocks, along with less infrequent RPI teams on...

Thanks for your help in enabling me to understand the Order, which I have read through several times. It has taken me until not to realise that the bolded bit above effectively describes all land numbered on the plans, even if the compulsory acquisition applies only to ground anchor rights...

You are, of course, correct. The land over which Network Rail is entitled to take temporary possession is noted in Schedule 16 of the order. Article 34 allows it broader powers, but is restricted to any land it could compulsorily purchase, which would be noted in the plans. None of the...

It is interesting to see what the TWAO order actually allows. There are two sets of affected houses on Glenfield Avenue. The ones I think are complaining are the ones at the left hand end of the attached PDF (references 9-065 to 9-078) which, according to the Order, only grants Network Rail...
