Good map. There is a slight positioning issue with the nearest stations box on desktop - it seems to cover the zoom control

Interesting - other than Langley and Iver they would be covered by ticket acceptance on London buses. No covering service west of Slough though.

As usual the Elizabeth Line contingency arrangements were awful on the GWML. Ticket acceptance was arranged on London buses only, which is no good for stations west of West Drayton, or GWR services which don't serve the smaller stations. As far as I can tell, GWR didn't add calls to the Didcot...

I was caught up in this yesterday. Lots of apologies for delays, but nothing about the ticket acceptance that was in place, not even to check National Rail.

Which is fine if you are able to read the poster. If you are blind you may rely on the audio announcement to let you know about these works. I would not be surprised if the announcements at Birmingham International are because they have a display board for the tube status somewhere so are...

It seems that Reading, Gatwick and Virginia Water are currently in the rather odd position of you being able to catch trains where both ends of the journey are in the contactless area, but the middle isn't. It doesn't help that TfL will give you a contactless fare between these two points even...

It seems to be somewhat different to single leg pricing - for example Waterloo to Windsor and Eton Central has an off-peak single paper ticket (https://www.brfares.com/!fares?orig=WAT&dest=WNR&period=20250608) and the return fares are twice the single. Fares on the GWML haven't been...

Heathrow may, but the stations solely served by the Elizabeth line out to Reading don't. It's the same with other disruption - they arrange ticket acceptance on London buses, but nothing further out.

Thanks - I'm not sure that quite covers what I'm looking for - it may be I need to be more specific in P-coding. For example this train (https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P01840/2025-02-23/detailed) is shown as CAN, but has been replaced with this train...

Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this question in.... Do any of the open data sites allow users to check if a train has been P-Coded as a cancellation, or, indeed, to report on all P-Coded cancellations for a particular operator/at a particular station. I have looked on various open...

I think there may be a number of issues that cause the lack of support: 1 - the benefits have not been explained. It is sold as faster trains to London, rather than more capacity for trains on the existing lines. 2 - if the benefits were explained, it will look like another South East centric...

Thanks. Is there a reason for that, as (after having not been in London for ages and not normally using Liverpool Street, I've been there quite a lot), I connected from Moorgate to Liverpool Street Elizabeth Line and it seemed to be a long walk, compared to the walk from the gateline at...

I was catching a train on the Elizabeth Line from Liverpool Street last Sunday and just missed a train on the Reading branch, so were sat for about half an hour waiting, and was interested that the "This is an update from the station control room..." messages were broadcast from the Moorgate...

This would also help people who forget the terms and conditions - if you have a 3-year railcard, are you necessarily going to remember the Ts & Cs when you signed up. I have a Two Together railcard that I signed up for last year and I can't remember every part of the contract, neither do I check...

I saw this thread on X/Twitter this morning https://x.com/jackfifield/status/1843648136268656806 by Jack Fifield, currently of the Bolton News, detailing instances of S5(3) RORA being used to prosecute people where they had used a railcard but whilst a minimum fare applied: This is in response...
