    What does Route: "." mean?

    e.g. https://www.brfares.com/!faredetail?orig=EPS&dest=STE&rte=1000&tkt=SDS Is it just "any permitted"? And wow would it print out on a CCST?

    Network Railcard on train departing Oxford before 10am?

    And on this Network Railcard page, the 'easement list' linked to at the top of the page (dated November 2022) is a different file to that linked to at the bottom (which is dated December 2022).

    Advance for non-existent GC service

    Thanks both. I will suggest going down the Delay Repay route. The actual arrival at St Pancras was 1641 (vs originally planned arriving at KGX of 1541) so that should just about tip over the 60 minute threshold for GC@s delay repay.

    Advance for non-existent GC service

    My other half held an Advance ticket for the 1346 GC service from York to Kings Cross today (25th June). Due to (apparently long planned) engineering works there were no GC trains running all day. Notwithstanding the poor showing re: lack of communication about the cancellation of all GC...

    Doors failed to open at Waterloo (1A20)

    Was this to do with the 377s needing to lock on to a GPS signal to confirm the train was at a station where the doors could be opened, but due to Victoria being covered there was some workaround that took a small amount of time to reset/spoof a GPS signal to convince the train it was at a valid...

    Trivia: Train Services that run wholly within the same Council area

    Greenford shuttle is wholly within LB Ealing.

    Fake Railcard

    In my experience (iOS version), it does allow you to take/save a screenshot but shows a warning message telling you in no uncertain terms a screenshot is not valid, and the Railcard is only valid when displayed from within the app.

    Southeastern to be taken over by OLR

    This looks to have been flagged in Go-Ahead's annual accounts for year ended 27 June 2020, announced in September 2020. So looks like DfT/LSER have been aware of it for at least 18 months.

    Buying tickets from London zone boundaries online.

    Was there not already a legal case underway about this (against SWT/R and SE?)

    Carnet tickets

    Expiry is 2 months for SWR's carnets. Looked into it for my partner (who has a part-time commute to London from Ashtead/Leatherhead), but these are the handful of stations where SWR's smartcard (and therefore carnets) is not valid (you are expected to use Southern's key smartcard); even though...

    Bracknell to Canary Wharf

    But everyone else will have the same idea, resulting in large queues for the W&C and potentially Bank DLR being shut if overcrowing persists.

    New NRCoT from 4th December

    Two together on Heathrow Express

    The HEx conditions of carriage states that "advance tickets cannot be used in conjunction with Railcards" (section 3.3). Yet their own site sells "fixed day" tickets that allows railcard discounts to be applied. "Fixed day" tickets do not seem to be defined or mentioned in their CoC.

    Disruption to Southern (and GWR) Services during the SWR strike

    Guildford - Epsom via Dorking isn't a mapped route (and shows as requiring multiple tickets on NRE), and there is nothing on SWR's site suggesting that tickets will be accepted on GWR that way. Similarly there doesn't apear to be any ticket acceptance on the 479 bus that runs between the two.

    Disruption to Southern (and GWR) Services during the SWR strike

    SWR are running an hourly bus service between Effingham Jct and Epsom which should cover some of the missing train services.

    Reliability of existing class 483 stock on IoW railway

    Although the report stating that there was only "a sole passenger" on board at the time doesn't exactly present the line as being a vital infrastructure depended on by hundreds each day...!

    Leatherhead - Three Bridges

    Thanks - how does one find this "hidden" routeing data? (Is it tucked away on Brfares somewhere?)

    Leatherhead - Three Bridges

    Thanks - it would not be a season ticket if that changes the answer to point 3?
