Correct, EES doesn't apply to those using EU passports.

I'm pretty sure that all the border controls are operated by the French border police, not by Eurostar/Eurotunnel. Press reports suggest that the different systems in St Pancras and Folkstone are due to the lack of e-gates at Folkstone - I think the questions are mainly to determine e-gate...

Agreed - if all trains stop at Cambridge South then there's probably little reason for them to allow changing in Cambridge for those journeys. I'm not sure how likely a "Cambridge Stations" ticket is. Those seem to generally happen when there are multiple stations that all serve the central...

I'm no expert on the Routeing Guide but isn't that what Routeing Point Groups are for? As long as Cambridge and Cambridge South are part of the same Routeing Point Group then a mapped route via Cambridge South is also automatically valid via Cambridge as well, isn't it? Of course, if you're...

Whenever I pass though Euston (usually on the tube, sometimes on NR) I always make a point of looking at the NR departure boards. I'm afraid I'm still regularly seeing Avanti (and to a lesser extent LNR) trains' platforms being called a couple of minutes before scheduled departure, at the...

Depressing that she claimed she had been given the most lenient sentence possible if that wasn't actually the case. When I read her statement I naturally assumed she was saying she'd received an absolute discharge. Of course, she worded it in such a way that her statement arguably isn't...

This afternoon the platform numbers were flashing more normally - if still somewhat erratically. None of these 8 seconds pauses between flashes - so hopefully that was just a bug. Still curious what the difference is between a steady platform number and a flashing platform number ..

To follow up on my own post, I can see that an intermediate semi-suppressed platform status (i.e. platform technically announced, but deliberately hard to notice/read on the boards) could help reduce the intensity of the rush for the platforms. But what I noticed this evening is that some...

What's with some services shown as boarding having the platform number flash up for a couple of seconds and then disappear for 5 seconds.? You have to be staring at the departure boards for quite a long while to be sure of seeing that there's a platform number displayed. Also, when they do...

Ok, thanks.

Would I be right in thinking that without the TSSA work-to-rule preventing managers from providing cover, the impact of the RMT overtime ban would be significantly less?

I'm interested to know what level of crowding TfL Rail services on the GWML are seeing? Basically, whether it's possible to socially distance on them under the current circumstances.

My understanding is that journeys originating in the TfGM area are issued to Manchester CTLZ and journeys originating outside are issued to Manchester Stations. But obviously it's mad that the passenger should have to know that. They are not the same, because tickets issued to Manchester CTLZ...

I wonder if this will spell the end of the routeing guide, and a return to "any reasonable route"? With the farebox revenue going to the government there'll be no real need for it.

Given that TfL now process this all by phone, the current process for TfL-issued travelcards seems to be that the only option is to cancel the oyster card, simultaneously refunding the season ticket, any PAYG balance, and any deposit, and requiring the passenger to get a new oyster card if they...

Is the refund calculation for a TfL-issued annual Travelcard (on Oyster) the same as the traditional NR season ticket refund calculation? So basically the difference between what I paid for the annual, and what I would have paid for an odd period - with the odd period caluclated on the usual NR...

I get the impression that the old Conditions of Carriage were slightly confused as to whether they were trying to be a set of contractual terms or an explanation of the law of agency. If a employee of a company buys a ticket in the course of their duties, then I would have thought that it is...

I recall a conductor on the ECML (many years ago - I forget which TOC it would have been) announcing the stations alliteratively, e.g. "We are now arriving at Delightful Doncaster". Similarly for Wonderful Wakefield, Lovely Leeds, etc...

Agreed. In case it wasn't clear, I was just interested by the fact that there is no longer the blanket ban on ticket resale that there used to be. In the case at hand, I agree with the other posters here that there is likely to be something illegal going on and that anyone would be very ill...

Did this change at some point recently, then? I had always understood, since many years ago, that tickets were technically non-transferable, even if in practice that was rarely, if ever, enforced. EDIT: To answer my own question, it seems it wasn't historically allowed. I found a copy of...
