Sounds great. Perhaps we should do another three consultations just to make sure?

Southeastern suspended (or seemed to) fare evasion investigations while they underwent restructuring. Evidently they've now completed that but that doesn't really allow them to rewind the clock on the offences they failed to act on in a timely manner. I don't doubt that they'll have some...

Well OP says it's a timetable, not a countdown (which is the commonly available service on many apps). Not aware of many apps that share the timetable itself. But for good reason, by the time you're timetable app has loaded, for the vast majority of the network, a train has probably already...

If I remember correctly, the Thameslink announcements were recorded before they knew what the station would be called, so the 'West' on that recording is taken from another station.

There are internal logs in the article so I think it’s pretty clear that at least one driver or member of operational staff deemed it newsworthy enough to leak to the media. Pretty clear that the response of the Toc was not satisfactory to that person So probably not part of the everyday ordinary

I think claiming the decisions are made by LNER is a bit misleading. It's more of a Network Rail agreement to reduce services to reduce congestion during a failure. Without opening the signal maps I'm assuming all of the traffic had to be diverted via the Slows and if all services stopped it...

It doesn’t really matter. All it shows is that railway staff have reacted poorly when showed a valid code but in a different format. Therefore it follows, as per post #1, that staff might “quibble” and show resistance towards them.

In this case, the member (although they didn't return to answer further questions by the forum) that they were issued a penalty fare notice because their partner screenshotted a ticket and then sent it to them. In this case, reported in the media, CrossCountry reject a ticket because the...

Really? We've seen plenty of cases on here where staff suggested a ticket was invalid because it was a screenshot of the QR (Aztec) code as opposed to the "official" pdf or other delivery method. Also seen many cases where members of staff incorrectly interpret the fields around the QR code...

That's good news, TfL would've almost certainly prosecuted you but GTR are amenable to settlements. I have noticed "TfL" is now becoming colloquially used to refer to all the transport services in London, even when ran by other companies. A lot of people don't appreciate the difference...

Nearby, Southeastern's Hastings line has been badly hit. One of the worst services I can see is 17:45 London Charing Cross to 19:29 Hastings which has only ran on time once since June. A lot of services being cut short at London Bridge as a result. Even without this dry spell, the Kent AM...

Getting very boring and very repetitive. Happy to see SWR making a return next week. I also wanted to see them follow actual gateline/train revenue inspectors. Would also be nice to see any other TfL mode. Personally I think it’s a complete waste of resources for the bus inspectors to waste...

I'm going in that direction next week so I hope I can make use of the B23's in both directions of my journey. ....provided they've survived today's rain? (if anyone has any updates on how they've performed today....) Last time they were in service, I spent about 30 mins waiting at Woolwich...

Yep. Not to mention that AC can fail during hot weather on trains with unopenable windows. During the Loughborough Junction incident last summer (which itself would’ve seen uncontrolled evac’s if not in such an awkward location) - very hot on the day, the passengers opened the doors for air...
