Sorry, didn't realise this thread was so old. I would recommend a solicitor if TfL haven't decided on a prosecution. A solicitor might convince TfL to give a final warning. High value pass fraud is one of the most serious abuses of the system, sadly, and TfL fight it hard when they catch it...

I got it to work! Thank you!

Hello, I'm about to buy a 26-30 Railcard and to my horror they are available digital-only. I'm guessing that I can't buy a paper version directly at a station either. Therefore, I'd be very appreciative to know what is the absolute best app for storing the Railcard offline, because I often...

Thank you for this masterful, and entirely welcome explanation. I do not interpret it as criticism! Please may I ask, would an imaginary service through Gospel Oak be able to continue onward and somehow enter the Thameslink core?

Moderator note: split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/acton-main-line-to-acton-wells-jct-electrification.272210/page-7#post-7292683 Hello, sorry to ask a stupid question, will the current electrification work allow, theoretically, for bimode EMUs to run from Heathrow to Gatwick...

I am not going to try to proselytise—I do not want to browbeat others into believing something. This said, I would be grateful if anyone who knows the composition of these different physical stocks could weigh in to confirm if—or if not—the tickets contain any of these substances.

Central government in Britain have long made commercially destructive decisions on a whim, despite sensible warnings, and then ever-so-clunkily walked back their sweeping changes several years later—to a devastated market.

How interesting—thanks! I found this service which seems to be able to make it to Acton Wells Jn in 40 minutes from Victoria. Could that be improved upon? On the way northbound, one could imagine just dropping the Victoria reversal and going direct via Clapham Junction to Imperial Wharf. In...

This is a big problem! See this link for the collation of some study results. https://www.ecocenter.org/about-bpa-and-bps-receipt-paper The issue is that on thermal paper, the substances are printed in a free form rather than bonded to the material, which increases their availability for...

There would be a military conflict with France, or more accurately the French taxpayer. DfT would be insane to touch Eurostar because all of the workforce agreements safeguard British jobs across the EIL maintenance and logistics operation.

Thank you so much. It also seems to be an extremely long platform, almost 400m. I read that the Southeastern platforms are considered slightly underused compared to the Southern ones. Is that true? And—in general—would a signaller for Victoria go nuts about the idea of a train crawling in and...

It would seem so, however all of the diesel runs which take this route seem to head into platform 2.

HM Government open themselves up to major threat of legal action from OAOs over this policy direction, even if such cases were eventually to fail. More pertinently—although I know nothing has been said explicitly—the political unpopularity of shuttering Lumo would be extraordinary. It is the...

I see on RealTimeTrains that it is possible to use Latchmere Junction to go via Longhedge Jn, Stewarts Lane Jn, Grosvenor Bridge Jn, over the Bridge and into Victoria. Out of interest, are there any platform restrictions on this route apart from the usual demand of pathing? And, secondarily...

Please can I emphasise that my criticism was of the ORR and their collection methods, and not this tool—I am extremely grateful for the tool. I apologise if it seemed like I was criticising your work! Thanks so much for the offer to load some data queries. Please would it be possible to ask...
