Not unless it's changed in the last couple of days... it's all ANPR.

There is a layby on the Southern perimeter road side of Hatton Cross you can pick up/ drop off. I've never had an issue waiting there.

I'm watching this with interest too. I have an advanced return from Marylebone to Moor Street. I'm not worried about getting as far as Banbury as it's DOO (so suspect Haywain will be ok), but don't want to be chucked off there and have to squash in to an overcrowded XC service. Presumably if my...

I seem to remember you've not been particularly positive on the West London Orbital when it's been mentioned in the past (apologies if I am confusing you with someone else). Has your opinion changed, and do you think it's actually likely to happen?

I meant Lionel Road, rather than Kew Bridge. Effectively just turning back before they join the Hounslow loop. I'll believe it when I see it. The loop has a worse service than it had 20 years ago and SWR are in no rush at all to improve it. Hopefully the west London orbital will be a catalyst...

Good news if this happens. I can see the level crossings at Isleworth being a showstopper for extra trains along that section (despite the fact SWR used to run 4tph each way). I think there are still the remains of a siding west of Hounslow which could potentially be brought back in to use if a...

A request. I recently booked a return journey for five people with a F&F Railcard (4 adults, 1 child). Would it be possible to state on the email with the tickets and mobile wallet links which of the tickets is the child one? This would make it easier to distribute the right link quickly to...

Are there still two 458/5's at Wimbledon? Thought i caught a glimpse of them last week but I understood they were all off lease now, in which case I wonder why they are still there given space is apparently at a premium?

I don't think finally completing the introduction of one class of unit (not even complete really as none of the /5's are anywhere near service) seven years late deserves any positive recognition! Not something to be bragging about, especially when they still can't get enough of them in service...

I am aware I can use Tesla chargers but have been put off by the ridiculously short cables on some of them. My charge port is on the other side to a Tesla so I'd have to block two bays to charge. I don't know if this has been resolved with later installations

And drivers of ICE vehicles have been heavily subsidised for 15 years too. If anything they should be charged a more punitive rate per mile to encourage them to switch.

Pay per mile was going to have to be introduced eventually... but it absolutely stinks that a new tax is being introduced for EV's when fuel duty has been frozen for years, and that I'll have to pay £200 VED and pay per mile while there are still diesels on the road that pay £20 VED for the...

Given the Hounslow loop service is half what it should be for the majority of the time it could definitely run fast via the loop, as the Weybridge service closely follows the Reading service from Virgina Water. Similarly going out of London the Reading service leaves just before the Weybridge...

IIRC the early versions had software issues which required a dealership visit to fix to enable OTA updates. I have a 2023 Family Pro and have never had any issues with the software, but had an issue with a faulty battery module which was replaced under warranty (I think I posted about it on this...

Yes - this is great. Plugging the car in at home and getting cheap electricity during the day so I can run the air conditioners and the washing machine at home for 3.9p/kwh. I've noe come to the end of my 3 year salary sacrifice on my ID3. The organisation no longer offers the scheme so we have...
