Would the message for the Plymouth service to be to prevent VTWC & Connections Advance tickets being used? XC may not want people to use their services as the connecting service. I see from brfares.com that there are both VTWC & Connections and XC & Connections Advance fares available for some...

It would be interesting to know whether the other TSGN bidders proposed using different trading names, or whether this really is a Govia initative.

No change is needed to the wording of Condition 10. What is needed is more clarity on the definition of Train Company. The list of Train Companies to which the NRCOC applies is provided in Appendix A. This is stated throughout the CoC. This identifies the separate trading names of all TOCs as...

Thameslink Great Northern http://www.journeycheck.com/gtr/help/$%7Bjc.jcurl%7D/gtr/home

It does. Your question should be, why is only half the franchise included on journey check.

Can worms opened ! It is a requirement to use the Thameslink name as one of the brands. It was an ITT requirement to maintain and enhance the Gatwick Express brand, but unlike the previous Southern franchise there isn't any mention of it in the public franchise agreement. It was also an ITT...

I wouldn't call 7 services not stopping at Barking in the morning and 7 services not stopping at West Ham in the evening a lot. It's less than one-quarter of their peak service.

As stated by higthomas it is a franchise requirement. GTR are required to operate half-hourly between London Victoria and Sutton via Selhurst, Victoria and East Croydon, Victoria and Three Bridges calling at Clapham Junction, East Croydon and Gatwick Airport, extending to Haywards Heath and...

I thought the Hitachi AT300 was the answer to life, the universe and everything now?

Thameslink website says that Thameslink tickets will be valid on the alternative routes. I don't know if that means only via East Grinstead, or if it includes via Horsham as well. I'll leave it to those with more expertise in ticketing matters to advise...

Their agreed fleet plan written in to the franchise agreement contains 5 x 8 car HST sets, so yes, they are required to have them otherwise they'd be in breach of their franchise agreement unless they negotiated an amendment to it.

A lot of the assumption in the Northern Connect appears to be based on that it doesn't mention Hartlepool or Sunderland. But neither does it mention Durham. If Northern were to go via the ECML surely a Northern service wouldn't pass through Durham withput stopping and in a new franchise award...

even more problematic in finding a path. At the time the report was done, it was 3 VTEC plus Alliance's Edinburgh OA proposal. VTEC's franchise agreement is for 2 Edinburgh and 1 Newcastle per hour. Since the report there is also First Group's OA proposal as well.

The Northern Connect service will not be going anywhere near the ECML. There is not the capacity, especially with a 2nd TPE service. Network Rail's 2020 ECML capacity report with an ITSS of 4 intercity London services, 2 crosscountry, 2 inter regional and 1-2 freight between Northallerton and...

Trenitalia has been lisited among the usual suspects of the companies awarded a PQQ passport. A potential bid for ICWC coming? The full list is Abellio Transport Group Limited Arriva UK Trains Limited First Rail Holdings Limited Go-Ahead Holding Limited Govia Limited Keolis (UK) Limited MTR...

The difference with turning Lincoln ECS moves into passenger service is it is not part of their franchised passenger route so it would effectively be run as an open access operator service. I expect Northern would have something to say about that.

Correct. A second service is introduced in 2020. Both services are subject to ORR approval (the service starting today is only approved until the end of the current track access agreement next year)

What utter nonsense. He used the ticket so condition 26 is irrelevant. :roll:

There was a little bit of discussion of thus when I mentioned this in the December 2015 timetable thread a couple of months back. But things aren't always noticed in such general threads so good to highlight it again. :)

Which is all wholly irrelevant. The OP decided to travel so the condition is not invoked and he is not not entitled to a refund. The ticket he used was "Any Permitted" so was valid on the service he travelled on, so no luck there either. He can write to GTR and try to get a goodwill payment, but...
