My understanding is that that will only be possible via an area requiring a valid underground ticket, but it would be good if it could be done with a Terminals one!

GN website has now been updated to confirm the delay until the New Year: https://www.greatnorthernrail.com/717trains "Since the autumn we have been undertaking operational testing of our new Class 717 trains, due to run on Great Northern services in and out of Moorgate. The purpose of this...

The report has been released: https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/transport-committee/news-parliament-2017/rail-timetable-changes-report-publication-17-19/ (Couldn’t see a better place to post it, but happy for it to be moved)

Plus freight trains

It’s been discussed elsewhere, but phase 3 of the additional industry compensation scheme (for carnet and day ticket holders who travelled at least 3 days a week for 1-4 weeks during the chaos) is open now https://railcompensation.thameslinkrailway.com/

Local BBC News is carrying the story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-46397470 But still not on the DfT website and can't find any info online regarding zones etc

Have heard it’s likely to be one 717 working initially, then gradual adding of units through to around next May

Was it a consistent twice a week or did you have any weeks when you travelled 3 times? Weeks are considered individually and you can claim for between 1 and 4 weeks under the scheme.

Agree - they were doing a lot of publicity for Delay Repay throughout. Claims for that have to be made within 28 days of the delay.

May have been another delivery? Looked to be the haulage units at Ferme Park this morning.

Er... Yes!

Hard copies of the GN/TL ones have reached at least some stations (but you have to ask for them). Same format as the ones loaded on the websites.

Timetable 02, despite its name, does seem to show all the Brighton trains from the Bedford line for their full journeys: “This timetable shows all Thameslink services that call at any station between Bedford and St Albans City from 9 December 2018 until 18 May 2019.” Suspect they called it what...

Depending what train you are on initially, there is also the option to change at Finsbury Park onto a Moorgate train using the London terminals ticket.

Have corrected it!

I think the key words are "up to" (or perhaps "which Dec?"). Hopefully there will be at least one, but believe scheduled rollout currently goes through until at least next May. Each unit has to arrive here and complete approx 2,000 miles fault free running before GTR take it over and we've...
