I don't know what the fuss is, I clearly have far too much time and just like throwing curveballs in there to annoy people. Like deliberately keeping set swap original vehicles around, not cancelling trains for Christmas...

We did not remove the numbers. The operator did.

Today there's a high number of trains going the other way too. There have been a number of trains cancelled in TRUST today long before they got cancelled in Darwin. Swings and roundabouts.

RTT has Android and iOS apps.

Yes, the signaller sees them. They basically show the booked platform for the train and is part of the Automatic Code Insertion/Route Setting system in Wimbledon box. The signaller can choose to do as they wish, though. There are few route indications from the platform starters and the first...

TY is one of the few that is exactly what it is and completely untranslated - TY is Mishap TOC related causes. Typically some sort of derailment.

Alas the railway would rather have its cake and eat it reducing staff numbers who can not only check tickets but also provide good customer service, and increasing reliance on AI because some consultant said it was a great idea. Railways are a people business and it’s our job to move people...

Virtually everything that goes on Lumo’s twitter feed in terms of disruption information is reformatted content from Journeycheck - https://www.journeycheck.com/lumo

There is a (nearly) direct campaign being purchased by Greater Anglia at the moment which we are seeing if it works. This is in conjunction with various efforts by our advertising partner to increase revenue as it is in the gutter at the moment for various reasons. If you have any issues with...

As I've said before the feed is somewhat full of stuff that doesn't always make sense. It might be flat out wrong, it might be a typo, it might be correct but for non-obvious reasons. That feels distinctly wrong when you consider fleets such as 450s, there is no difference between 450001-450099...

I have been booked on short haul flights that have been cancelled due to non-functioning toilets, I think BA have also turned back flights due to failures of the toilets.

Missing allocations are not in our control (in the few cases I've checked just now they are all because we simply haven't received an allocation and nor have others.)

New yesterday: logged in users with active RailMiles accounts can have their bookings automatically added to their RailMiles accounts - we'll add train, bus (scheduled & rail replacement) and ship legs at present. More things on that front coming hopefully later this month.

What ticket did it replace? I can't think of one. I remember thinking it was a genuinely innovative product at the time and I still buy them from time to time when I am travelling in the peaks and the prevailing AP + the semi-flex supplement is less than the equivalent railcard discount coming...
