That's probably it. Thanks. As to wanting to raise them - if both seats are free and toy want to spread out a bit the arm rest makes this pretty uncomfortable!

Can anyone explain why the armrest nearest the window on the trains that run to Weymouth etc is fixed rather than moveable? It looks as though it could have been movable but has been deliberately fixed.

As it happens I was thinking about changing at Farringdon as the direct service isn't so convenient timewise! Good to know that it shouldn't be a problem.

That will do nicely - it's the same price as a return to Woolwich! Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I think the Dartford ticket works out slightly cheaper than the travelcard option as I have an ENCTS pass. I don't really want to travel back from Welling to Woolwich at the end of the day which would obviously be the cheapest option!

I am planning to travel from St Albans to Woolwich next Tuesday off peak but probably returning same day from Welling. I have a Senior Railcard. Is there a suitable ticket that will allow this or am I better off going back to Woolwich at the end of the day? Phil

You may well be correct that it's the case rather than the phone. Certainly, every time I store my ticket in one of the card slots in the case, it ceases to work the barriers. Never occurred to me till now that it might not be the phone's fault!

The only time I have had issues with taps is when the gates have been open. I tap on the barrier and check that the indicator has shown green but (as mentioned previously) whenever the journey has started before midnight and ended after it, I end up with an incomplete journey! In future, for...

It's not a one off 15 min delay that would cause stress - it's when it's nearly every day and it both directions!

I've had emails regarding an incomplete touch on two occasions at St Albans. Both times they were for journeys that started on one day and finished on another (i.e. after midnight). I had noticed both of these prior to receiving the emails but was unable to correct them myself. I guess they have...

I have used the one on the westbound Circle by the entrance to the thameslink southbound to end an oyster journey and start a keygo one.

I have also done this at Farringdon on several occasions with no issues.

That's what I meant :D!

You are correct, I had forgotten that Oyster doesn't apply the discount in the evening peak whilst keygo does. I think the trick is to get both cards and use whichever one is most useful on a given day!

From Elstree KeyGo cost would be exactly the same as Oyster. Either card saves the hassle of buying the return ticket. Oyster is probably more flexible. Certainly if I commuted from there, it's what I would use!

As I mentioned earlier KeyGo doesn't always use the Thameslink fare structure. To elaborate further, if you are making a return journey - either peak or off peak then it will use the Thameslink fares. If you are making a single journey, it will use the cheapest option which on weekdays is...

Not so! Earlier this year I had to get to St Pancras early in the morning, so caught a train at St Albans before 6:30am. The fare I was charged was an off-peak fare with a senior railcard discount - approx 5.70 as I recall. Even in the peak hours, the single fare on Keygo is the contactless and...

Not necessarily! If you have a keygo card with a railcard added to it then in certain circumstances you do get a railcard discount applied to a contactless fare.

Somehow I often seem to catch one of the 12-car units without the Wifi! It's especially annoying at weekends when there are seemingly plenty of spare units in the sidings. I have a theory that this is deliberate :lol: !

Luton remains the only airport I've ever been charged for the plastic bags to put your toiletries in at departure!
