They might as well put the cottage up for sale now :rolleyes:

Oddly no contactless fares showing for Chelmsford to Reading in brfares.com ??

Well if the 1833 is so quiet then no reason at all for it to be made pick up only call - if LNER don't want to be involved in Oval then let GTR staff at Stevenage deal with the people that haven't touched in same as they do for their own services ? :rolleyes: As for introducing Advance fares...

They don't want to fill a long distance train with people only going to Stevenage any more than GWR would want to fill a Plymouth service with people only going to Maidenhead ?

I think White Notley might see an increase in passenger numbers ? :lol:

The amount of people that present the wrong e-ticket at barriers has to be seen to be believed, whether it's wrong date or return journey !!! Some people that cannot easily produce correct one for varying reasons to pass through gates really should stick to a paper ticket.

All the naughty people with Chelmsford to Stratford "Saver" tickets being used as a flexi season are in for a shock :D

So less than 4 weeks to go and hearing nothing from DfT or operators ?? Thought "digital" ticketing was supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread.

Greater Anglia Advance tickets to Liverpool St. seem to be accepted for ending journeys at Stratford without issue given barriers are manned by Tfl staff who aren't known for much National Rail ticket tolerance - maybe at that location they are used to people inserting reservations etc. and will...

Perhaps BTP will offer to assist Police Scotland and arrest them on their behalf ? I'm sure several officers would volunteer for the job :lol:

Some Norwich ticket office staff are very new (Sleeper bookings are completed easily however 8-))

On brfares.com some contactless fares are showing, Chelmsford to Liverpool St. £12.90 (current Super off peak Return £23.50 or a Duo weekends only £35.25) Peak contactless from London £19.00 (current Anytime single £20.90)

So do we have any update on the start date for the new additions to contactless area to go live ? Or is it still a big secret........

Would expect the guard would be actively monitoring on board cctv for any suspicious activity.

East Anglia one covers Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire (another is based in Norwich for Norfolk & Suffolk) while the other is a separate charity for Essex/Herts.

BBC now also quoted that MP & Newcastle.

Being a Saturday night the London reporter is probably quite junior (no disrespect intended) and quite possibly has much less knowledge of railways than the average commuter ?

BBC news channel currently stating it's a service from Kings Cross heading north then asking a local radio reporter on site how long the train took to travel from Peterborough to Huntingdon !! Maps clearly not a thing at the BBC.

Commuting by Advance ticket is way too high IMO but supposedly Dft love them, Treasury might have different thoughts on this ?!?

Ely - Brandon is shocking at the moment.
