Aha, thank you. It seems then this third track will be purely for the use of STAR trains. Is there a possibility that trains running between HFE/BXB/LST can use this extra track after Angel Road? Obviously to free up capacity for the trains that actually matter ;) (Last bit tongue in cheek!)

Hi all, Just a humble commuter here. I'm intrigued by the work going on at Tottenham Hale on the East side of the existing platforms 1 and 2. In addition there is a lot of work going on Northbound at least to Angel Road. Is this prep-work for additional capacity into Tottenham Hale or even...

I'll have a look at the link @SickyNicky posted but I have to confess that multipass is very new to me. I'm just a commuter. Edit: Well, if multipass is the future, I'd rather not be a part of it! Visual ticket inspections on a mobile phone? It's slow enough using barriers, let alone 150+...

I suppose so, yes - if multpass is the more technical term :) Their advertising on the ticket barriers was changed from "Coming soon" to "Swipe your smart card here" or something. Have a look on www.abelliogreateranglia.co.uk/smart for more info. My card arrived withint 2 days from the quoted 5...

I ordered my new Smart Card for AGA and only then did I read the small print that existing season tickets aren't able to be transferred across, but it is hope this feature is "coming soon". Does anyone know how soon? Not sure I can wait until my AGC expires in October! Edit: I think the...

Yes, penalty fare is what I meant. It's extremely rare* to get ticket checked at all on this route really, and I've never risked trying this out, but I think it's probably worth it if I really don't want to hang around at LST :) *I'm lucky to have to produce a ticket more than a few times...

Hiya I have often thought that if a train isn't *advertised* as stopping at a particular station, then even it it does, a ticket to that station would not be valid. For example (and this is what my post is about) - the Stansted Express ex. Liverpool Street is not normally advertised as...

I was at Stansted Airport [SSD] the other day and towards the left hand end of the security desks there is a fast track, or "VIP" area as they call it. I'd go with that :)

OK, thank you gentlemen :)

Thank you - a very detailed reply! Is there also a restriction going North just out of Broxbourne? My train last night travelled for about 2 minutes at 15-20 MPH. I didn't think there could be any congestion at 2230.. As for the new timetable, I'll reserve judgement for now. I'm not convinced...

Hiya, Can anyone tell me how long the current speed restrictions at Cheshunt are going to last? My trains (SAW-LST) hasn't been on-time all week, which is quite unusual. Thanks, Richard
