    Great Northern 313 Withdrawals

    Keen to get some photos if the units are still there on Friday morning. Are they in the stabling point adjacent to Didcot Station, or are they further round the bend (Didcot Yard ?), in which case a Didcot to Oxford stopper would help. Any info greatly appreciated.

    Not sure how long data is held for, so here goes... Friday 12th July 2019, I boarded the 10:56 service from Reading to Paddington. It was a class 165 unit. From what I can see from RTT, this is service 1P23, which originates as the 09:50 from Moreton-in-Marsh to Paddington. Many thanks. Coxy

    Victoria to Brighton, valid on Gatwick Express ?

    I decided to take a trip to Barnham (BAA) on Saturday, choosing the Via London ticket, and confirming with the Routing Guide that I could travel down to Brighton from London, followed by some Class 313 action from Brighton along the West Coastway Line. My ticket was rejected at the GX barriers...

    Victoria to Brighton, valid on Gatwick Express ?

    Pleased to report all went well on Friday. I just missed the 10:44 GX service from Victoria to Brighton (having spotted Orient Express in platform 1), so when I reached the gate line my ticket was rejected. Gate line assistant suggested I should go to another platform to get the next direct...

    Victoria to Brighton, valid on Gatwick Express ?

    Thanks for all the feedback. My concern was that GX at Victoria would stop me boarding because my ticket wasn't a GX product. Hopefully the train out of Victoria will be very lightly loaded, and at worst it'll pick up more passengers at Gatwick. On the way back I may give Thameslink a try...

    2017-2018 Estimates of Station Usage

    I wonder how split ticketing impacts the accuracy of the figures ? For example, making a same day return journey from Slough (SLO) to Swindon (SWI) costs £33.10 with a Super Off Peak Return. However by splitting at Didcot Parkway (DID) you can get this down to £27.30 (£15.70 OP Day Return SLO...

    Many thanks for the quick reply. When you say "reported elsewhere", are you referring to an alternative thread within this forum, or are there other resources/sites that I could have checked ? Regards. coxy

    Buying West Midlands Day Ranger out of region

    I recently tried to buy one at Taplow (now TfL managed) without success. Although the clerk found the ticket quite easily, she was unable to issue it. She could issue GWR Rovers such as Thames Branches Day Ranger or 3/7 Day Thames Rover, but alas the WMDR would not print.

    PAYG - Two people but only 1 card !

    Thanks to WelshBluebird for clarifying in post #2. With regards to how we get additional cards - we've got plenty, just that we only had a single card with us at the time of travel. I'll make sure to take two separate cards next time we're out & about.

    PAYG - Two people but only 1 card !

    Hi, We recently travelled between Hayes & Harlington and West Drayton. Without thinking, I purchased 2 x Anytime Day Singles at £3.20 each from the TVM. Later on that evening I realised we could have made the journey for half the price if we'd used PAYG and touched in/out on the card readers...

    Travelcard Paddington to Heathrow

    Thanks for confirming. I was hoping to ride some 345s from end to end, but have just discovered that they are not compatible with the signalling on the heathrow line - so it's 360s for the moment.
