Most GN Moorgate trains used to be run with 2 x 313, which meant that short-forming was an option or splitting one train to cover 2 services. Now the new 717s (like the TL 700s) are fixed formation, so there won't be any short forms but are likely to be an increased number of cancellations of at...

Have edited my post - thanks!

If you can afford to get an annual season, this would normally additionally entitle you to Gold Card discounts and might give you savings on the London trips (depending on times etc). There’s info about this and other aspects of season tickets on the National Rail Enquiries website page...

Lack of platform capacity at Moorgate (2) and required frequencies Mon-Fri means that weekday diagrams have to be mainly V shaped. Trains alternate between Welwyn Garden City and Hertford North routes. This has the result of quickly transferring any problems from one line to the other. Believe...

Think you’ve probably also got weekday Super Off Peak Day return at slightly cheaper price to encourage evening return outside the busiest period (later start of validity am too). Generally on busy routes, if you look at how many people get first train after price drops and then think about...

You’ve mentioned both e-ticket and mobile ticket - these aren’t the same thing. The Trainline website explains here how and when to activate a mobile ticket: https://www.thetrainline.com/en/help/question/4500/how-do-i-downloadactivate-my-mobile-tickets This includes (sorry can’t see how to make...

A Stevenage London Terminals ticket is valid directly to Moorgate via Finsbury Park on GN services, so would need to be accepted at gateline controlled by TfL anyhow. The question is - as mentioned by others - are the staff briefed and will they accept it? Will enquire next week when I'm there...

Does that matter if journey is on a direct train? I tried putting Stevenage to Moorgate on TL website and it offered a London Terminals e-ticket

Any changes to the trains - WiFi, tables, extra carriages are down to DfT decision / funding. Suspect DfT have other more urgent concerns at present. With all the submissions under the PBF for a large number of stations, was bound to take time to assess and then will presumably also need...

The diagrams are mainly V shaped across both routes Mon-Fri

There’s no WiFi yet between Drayton Park and Moorgate, but all 717s have it elsewhere. Adjacent Highbury and Islington Victoria Line platforms have it, but can’t usually connect on GN platforms.

Possibly Drayton Park? - no central fast lines there to block the view (if there’s disruption, then #432 better)

My approval email, received this week for a similar amount, said I should receive the cheque by post in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks. Rarely venture south of the river and not an expert - had forgotten that it had a different set-up.

The same 700s work north and south of London but don't remember hearing of issues to the south, which suggests the electrical outages varied on different lines? Possibly any modern electrically powered train would have been hit on ECML / MML - rather than the 700s / 717s being uniquely impacted?

From what I remember most people qualified on my then journey - have moved towns since.
