    Class 701 'Aventra' trains for South Western Railway: progress updates

    One small thing but I find it very annoying. On arriving at Clapham junction on a 701 ex Reading. The announcement says that one can change for Reading. Similar issues with other destinations at other stops.

    What changes could be made to services on the Waterloo–Reading line?

    Well I don't see why people nearer London should see their service halved to save a few minutes for the relatively few people who would be travelling from reading all the way to Waterloo

    What changes could be made to services on the Waterloo–Reading line?

    Don't forget about stopping at Feltham it is the official connection from these lines to Heathrow.

    My proposal for railcard reform under GBR

    Railcards are not a massive example of complications they are independent of the fare structure. The railcards just permit a discount from a current fare. You can have just one set of fares if you want simplicity. Railcards just sit above the available fares.

    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    Yes they are up all along the line. I have seen them at Feltham, Twickenham and Richmond. Prevention of accidental problems. Stops deniability of not knowing.
