As stated above there's an issue with excessing on a 2TR, The system only allows you to excess one ticket at a time. However if you try putting in 1 ticket with the 2TR railcard the system won't show any fares as 2 tickets is required for the railcard.

4002 + 4055 have been working on the RHTT

If I remember correctly the heavy lifting workshop does not have overhead, Only thing I can think of is it has a external power system for testing the electrics.

Apparently they are going to be putting Benton sidings back in but were the yard is so more then likely they will terminate trains at Four Lane Ends.

What they should do in monument is raise the roof to make it feel bigger, also been told that they are reinstating a passage way next to Sainsburys not sure how or were it will go.

National Rail Tickets use different code from the Metro issued tickets. Also been told its not possible. Only Network One tickets compatible are with the barriers are Weekly ones and apparently soon 4 weekly ones.

2 Metro cars in Emirates Livery been on for awhile now. Other day I spotted on the roof of 4026 that it still has the Braathens SAFE logo on one end of the roof.

All the new revenue devices work on Windows XP. The ticket machines, The pop card validators and the barriers.
