    Caught with a Zone 1&2 Travel Card... I was coming from Zone 4

    The ticket readers would show a “dumbbell” has been happening for a very long time, i.e. an exit at Cannon Street without an entrance somewhere, and vice versa. Patterns can be flagged for investigation. Investigators can and do watch out for/follow particular passengers if they have suspicions...

    Bus drivers making passengers get off short of the route finishing

    I wouldn’t rely on Google sourced data though. Traveline agrees that Hornsby Depot is the terminus.

    Class 710 LO

    I know all this ... I thought it’d useful to see the information TfL has finally put in the public domain. Won’t bother next time.

    Class 710 LO

    I would be amazed if TfL announce anything in advance. Why set themselves up to fail if anything should go wrong between now and then to stop them running? (And of course, I know they should be giving passengers the good news that more trains are running, but that’s a different story altogether)

    Class 710 LO

    What part of this tweet ... that was mentioned up thread says anything about gauging? Speculation in the replies suggests it but the driver said nothing of the sort.

    Class 710 LO

    The tweet being referred said it was there for ‘electrical testing’, nothing at all about gauging.

    InterCity Shuttle

    Trains out of St Pancras were definitely Shuttle, as I travelled regularly at that time. From memory on the Midland Main Line, Shuttle also added a trolley service in Standard.

    Tower Transit deliveries today

    The bus in the picture in Post 4 is a StreetDeck. If it were a Volvo then TT would have classed it VH like the others. Not sure why a convoy of Volvos would be on the motorway, not that I’m doubting you either but I don’t believe that Tower have any Volvos on order ... all Tower Is expecting...

    Tower Transit deliveries today

    They aren’t Volvos. TT have bought integral StreetDecks.

    Class 710 LO

    There’s a reduced service every weekend, and has been since before Christmas.

    Class 378's to be shortened to 4 cars and used on GOBLIN?

    And earlier in the press release you’ve just questioned... If that doesn’t mean the 378 is going into service tomorrow I don’t know what does.

    Sheffield/Rotherham Tram-Train update

    Sheffield didn’t always have conductors. It opened with a totally bizarre system of buying a ticket at one machine (or in shops), then having to validate it in another. This then changed to machine bought tickets being validated automatically when sold. Conductors only came in after the...

    Trivia: PIS and signage fails

    As someone who doesn't know the area, I'd interpret that poster as saying the bus is calling somewhere on Edge Lane (but which in itself isn't very helpful either). There's no word Station at all in that particular sentence on the poster, but there is in every other. Or does it mean Edge Hill...

    Southern OBS and Freedom Pass valid to Gatwick

    I’m travelling now on a train from Victoria to Bognor Regis which calls at Gatwick. The OBS has just conducted a ticket check and informed a couple that they can use their Freedom Pass to Gatwick Airport in future as the barrier would let them out but “it’s a bit of a grey area.” I’m...
