This is great, thanks! One question; is there a technical or other accreditation related reason why Boundary Zone tickets aren’t available to purchase?

Severe signalling issues it looks like from late Saturday morning expected to extend until end of Sunday meaning no trains between Leatherhead and Dorking. Doesn’t look to be a quick fix as replacement buses laid on; does anyone know what’s the underlying issue making this more severe than a...

The restrictions on that off peak day return apply until 9am (not 9.30) so you don’t need to do any splitting.

A suggestion to GWR that a complaint to the ASA may also be forthcoming might nudge them into replying…

FWIW used Interrail passes from Milan to Tirano on Trenord last week with no issues.

What unit is on 5T92/5T93 today - just seen going through Ashtead.

Possibly off topic now, but is it still possible to get a Network Railcard for £1 if you are a Gold Card holder?
