A little late for the OP but for future reference the following may help... https://meldrethsheprethfoxtonrail.org.uk/fares-and-discounts/ https://www.greatnorthernrail.com/tickets/discounts-and-railcards/student-connect

There are 717 stop signs at Baldock and Royston, I thought these trains only went as far as Letchworth?

There's a note in table 196 that says 'Maidstone to Cambridge Service will be introduced in December 2019' - perhaps they'll start running training services before then like they did for Cambridge - Brighton.

@splashoutradio - That's great - thankyou very much.

Thanks @splashoutradio I want to put together a timetable for London Commuters from the Cambridgeshire villages (Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton) that shows connecting services to/from Peterborough. From 20th May the quickest way home in the evening is a xx12/xx42 service KGX-PBO, change at...

Can anyone point me to a single timetable for the entire Thameslink Great Northern line services for the new May 2019 timetable? Lots of separate booklet PDFs available online but I can't find a single view of all services.

0624 Royston to KGX today not showing on departure boards, nor in my iPhone app (Live Trains) but was shown in RTT. It duly arrived on schedule and ran to time with about 25% load. How can RTT do this when they use the same National Rail APIs? There are stories of other phantom services turning...

Fun and games yesterday when the 12 car 1812 arrived at the 8 car platform at Ashwell with the rear 4 locked off... passenger alarm was activated and even then not all passengers got off. 20 minute delay.

For the first time I've ordered a weekly season on my Key Smartcard to be delivered to Meldreth and it won't load. Customer care have no clue and have asked me to take a photo of the Validator at the station. Card works, and I can see my previous orders on the ticket machine at the station. The...

Is this a requirement for Thameslink and Great Northern post May 2018? I only ask because it states: Between 18:45 and 19:00 an additional service shall be provided from Royston to Cambridge, calling at all intermediate stations. This service may 28 be formed from a portion which detaches at...

Thinking about it touching in isn’t so important so long as you remember not to touch out at the other end - and you have a valid ticket of course. The overriding reason for me is that it makes compensation claims simpler.

I don't think you can use those on Great Northern, at least not on the trains that I take.

Not always possible at Kings Cross - occasionally all gates are open and not enabled - like yesterday (22/3/18) at 1800

Made the mistake of adding keyGo to my Key Smartcard. This has rendered the whole card useless and I've had to revert to paper tickets until it gets sorted. What isn't obvious is that if you enable the service you can't load a season ticket onto the card until you've 'loaded' the keyGo service...

Interesting that the attachment shows the 1812 KGX to KLN decoupling I assume at CBG and going from 3x3871 to 2x3871. This is exactly what the current 1814 does except it splits at Royston with the rear set serving the villages of Meldreth, Foxton and Shepreth. So the decision to axe this...
