Looks like Pancras Road, near the junction with Goods Way.

There was a city wide strike in early 2015 if I recall.

Here is Berrylands. On closer inspection it appears the “Fare Zone 5” font is the same as the incumbent SWT/SWR signage. Another variation :rolleyes:

I worked this today — unsurprisingly it became standing room only from Ascot…

Berrylands platform 1 has new signage as part of its platform rebuild. I couldn’t get a picture in time but to summarise : Station name is black (possibly RA3) a white background of course. Unlike at Gipsy Hill though, The fare zone “square” is retained as black text on orange. (on the country...

The contract for the BL1 has been awarded to Go-Ahead. Starting 27th September

Correct. ( I usually deploy the “Oyster & contactless not valid on this service” once leaving Surbiton.)

Yes - First Class has remained (albeit declassified while running on Windsor line services)

In my experience, as soon as the Cubic card readers were installed at our stations on the Windsor/Shepperton branches, people were trying to use them almost immediately.
