    Why does Woking have far more platform alterations than compared to Guildford

    Most are booked platform 2, which RTT will show until it knows otherwise. Have you got any examples of RTT showing platform 2 post arriving platform 1? We can certainly look into why that happened, so it doesn't happen again.

    Bletchley Upper (BLU)

    That is because Realtime Trains has merged the Crossrail Core trains in with the trains at the main CRS code. Behind the scenes they are still timed at the secondary location.

    Why does Woking have far more platform alterations than compared to Guildford

    RTT will only show the booked platform until it knows otherwise, so it won't identify the current pattern that they seem to be using platform 1 instead of their booked platform a significant proportion of the time currently.

    Low-speed, empty stock derailment at Bletchley (26/06)

    There is no signalled route from signal 9821 to 9753. Also one of your examples is incorrect, there isn't any signalled routes between the signals not in the normal direction of traffic between Lincoln and Peterborough. The routes from those signals are to cross to the other line or another...

    National Rail app - platforms not showing

    I would treat berths like that as blank. Whilst the presence of **** can mean a train is present, it does not mean there definitely is. It would be unlikely that you would find a train in the platform with **** outside of severe service disruption anyway. The data source for the platform...

    Inaccurate National Rail Information

    An additional stop on the XC is fairly common when the TPE is late. It is to provide a connection to Edinburgh as the TPE misses the 0747 Scotrail departure.

    Line routing out of Inverness onto the Highland Line

    The information on RTT for the Inverness area is currently all coming from the NR SMART system, whilst the codes mean something, I would not read into them as they don't always make sense. At some stage in the future RTT will update the area to give better information. 1T90 did the move you are...

    Cross Country Voyagers - rear set locked out of use?

    Sounds like you've been unlucky then, the root cause in each instance however could be different.

    Cross Country Voyagers - rear set locked out of use?

    That's what I was referring to in my post. Only noticed it happen the once since the timetable change though.

    Cross Country Voyagers - rear set locked out of use?

    I did think about that train just after posting, its the train I often travel home from Birmingham on. I have seen it once since the timetable change where it has attached the other way around, the attaching set was a 5 car. Not sure on the specific reason. This is an edge case anyway, so is...

    Cross Country Voyagers - rear set locked out of use?

    If the coach letters have been setup the correct way around, there should not be reservations in that coach. It would be either coach G or L, both don't take reservations. You could have some unique scenarios where the coach letters are the other way around, however it won't be a regular thing.

    Are distant/repeater signals used outside of lever frame worked areas?

    Didcot to Swindon (for normal direction of travel) was a mix of 3 and 4 aspect signals long before electrification. The Berks and Hants is also mostly 3 and 4 aspect signals, except as you say the section from Castle Cary to Cogload.

    Cross Country Voyagers - rear set locked out of use?

    I don't think either post is relevant to the recent change. The recent change is that the RSMs (Retail Service Managers) no longer staff a set without a train manager on a double. One of the posts refers to caterers (RSMs) so definitely isn't relevant, and not sure the other post is relevant...

    Football specials Nottingham to St. Pancras Sunday 27/04/2025

    That's the booked running time via the Up Nottingham Fast, it's rarely ever achieved on a normal day.

    Apparently callous non-connection Didcot (etc) to Heyford (etc)

    With the default filter it won't show if it's cancelled or amended (to not call at Oxford). If it's cancelled throughout it'll show if you select "CAN" in the filter.

    Apparently callous non-connection Didcot (etc) to Heyford (etc)

    There is no access from the Up Sidings to the through lines.

    Football specials Nottingham to St. Pancras Sunday 27/04/2025

    During engineering works on the Midland Mainline between Luton and London, on occasion there have been advertised trains that have ran non-stop from Derby to Luton and vice versa. These have typically been on a Sunday at the start and/or end of the day. An example here...

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    You're right, the report exists in the data, I forgot RTT doesn't do anything with it currently. It will do in the future.
