All TLGN trains departing from Cambridge between 0725 and 0800 cancelled, except for the 0754 Cambridge-Brighton service (which I’m surprised that it actually ran!)

I've seen two people who usually get on my train in the morning use a GA smartcard from Kings Cross to Cambridge North, and they've been using it for about a year now. Not sure what ticket they have though, I would presume it's either the London Terminals (Any Permitted) or Z1-6 Any Permitted...

Greater Anglia have their own smart card (I don't think it has a fancy name other than "smart card"), which I'm considering using as my home station is on the GA route (as long as I can somehow apply the Travel for Cambridgeshire discount on it). But if it won't allow in-out-in, then I...

Part of my commute involves cycling to and from Cambridge North station. It's now the time of year where I need to use my bike lights. What normally happens is that I lock my bike at Cambridge North, go through the ticket barriers using my paper season ticket, realise that I have left my bike...

The door "fault" on the GN 387s has been fixed now (the doors open immediately, no waiting 10-30 seconds anymore). The ticket machines have also been upgraded -- we can now buy tickets with a different origin station.

We're looking at all available options. For now, we're looking for flexibility in terms of time. For the Sunday journey to Cambridge/Cambridge North, the most important thing is that the two people arrive back in Cambridge and are not stranded in Liverpool (or somewhere inbetween) as they need...

Hi all, I will be travelling next month with a couple of colleagues, some fares advice would be greatly appreciated! Friday 18th August: 3 people, all with 16-25 railcards: Cambridge North to Liverpool Central, leaving Cambridge North after 17.30 Itinerary: 1747 to Cambridge (GN), 1801 to...

For Greater Anglia smartcards, you only need to touch in/out at barriers. This applies to Greater Anglia smartcards only (Great Northern smart cards require you to touch in/out everytime. Unbarriered GN stations have smartcard validators. GA unbarriered stations outside of London don't have...

I emailed Greater Anglia, they confirmed that Cambridge North will not have a ticket office but will have a number of ticket machines and platform hosts there to assist customers. Regarding tickets, GA have said that fares information should be available from 23rd April (four weeks before the...

Save 5% on Greater Anglia advance tickets (Standard and 1st Class) by buying an e-ticket (which will be sent by email and can either be printed out or shown on a smartphone). Applies to e-ticket advances bought between 1st and 30th April for travel between 18th April and 19th May...

I currently get the Travel for Cambridgeshire discount, which isn't available from TVMs. It's going to be a bit annoying if I have to go to the main Cambridge station to renew (or buy from Great Northern's website, but they don't do collect from TVM so I have to remember to buy it and leave...

Does anyone know if Cambridge North will have a ticket office, or will it just have TVMs?

"Software as a service" is a specific phrase (abbreviated to SaaS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service

I've noticed that Greater Anglia and ScotRail (both Abellio TOCs) now use an outsourced website for dealing with Delay Repay claims (Greater Anglia: https://greateranglia.delayrepaycompensation.com/) At the bottom of the form, there's a link to the company providing the service, Travel...

What I think Chris999999 is getting at is to load any ticket on any ITSO smartcard. For example, a ticket for the journey Southend Central - Shoeburyness can be bought online on the c2c website to be loaded on to a c2c smartcard, but cannot be loaded on to a Greater Anglia smartcard. (I have...
