I hold a season ticket between Brookmans Park and Elephant and Castle on a Key card. For the last week when I have tried to exit at Potters Bar Station and break my journey (quite without the rules), the barriers have not let me through. Code given is 57 which the gateline staff inform me means...

So I get that, and it makes sense. My confusion though is why this only seems to affect the Southbound services. Is it because they are currently not starting at Maidstone and going through the core? The northbound service, both during the peak and off-peak times is a lot more regular and more...

Can anyone explain to me why the Northbound service seems more regular than the Southbound on the GN inners? E.g. from my local stations of Brookmans Park and Welham Green during the evening peak coming out of London we have a fairly regular every 15 minute all stations train. In the morning...

I've emailed customer services about this, but on the grounds they will take (at least) 20 working days to reply thought it might be quicker to ask here... Page 71 of the consultation document online at http://www.thameslinkrailway.com/download/12366.9/timetable-consultation/ says that...

Re: Brookmans Park, I asked one of the engineers about this yesterday. He said that the gates would have thumb style locks which would allow access to/from the fast platforms when required - I took if from this that passengers would be able to open/close them without any assistance from the...

Hi there I'd be grateful for any help with this query (And apologies if it has been answered elsewhere - can't find it anywhere though) I notice from reading various online PDFs that there are plans afoot to reduce the number of services from Welham Green/Brookmans Park from 4 down to 2 to...

I know slagging off TOCs on a day like today can be seen as unhelpful. But I do feel FCC really haven't helped themselves. A lot, certainly, has been out of their control. The time things broke, just before the morning rush hour - I can't think of a worst time for something major to happen. Yet...
