Can't find a GTR brief on this, do you have a link please?

The driver’s position in the 717s is on the left, as the emergency exit step unit occupies the centre. The current preview services are stopping at Highbury and Islington, where the northbound platform is on the left but not at Essex Road (for example), where it’s on the right. Most 313...

Some GN/TL single and return tickets are now available for the Key from certain stations - anytime and off-peak (but not super off-peak), allowing railcard discounts. However these can only be purchased on ticket machines but can be used straightaway. The situation does seem quite fluid and...

They've been adding quite a lot of pictures of the work to the Brighton Mainline Improvement Project Twitter feed https://twitter.com/brighton_line There's mention of having 27 separate work sites.

The Thameslink version of the Kids for £2 offer has various restrictions: https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/tickets/discounts-and-railcards/kids-for-2 At the time of posting this, that link says: "Book your Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak ticket online and up to four children can travel with you...

I've seen mention of work at Knebworth as well, but don't know what. Overall it is major, as it runs for 6 consecutive Sundays

717 stop boards have been installed at Hatfield - slightly back from the 700 / 313 ones

Have amended my post above as website text has now changed

Today’s runs have now been added to journey planners.

GN website https://www.greatnorthernrail.com/717trains now says "Operational testing has continued over the New Year period. You can expect to see more test trains in passenger service daily from Monday 21 January (Monday-Friday). Building up to the first train being introduced by early...

It may depend on what you are planning on doing afterwards - I was able to change the route on an annual season ticket without penalty when I moved house some years ago (same train company / different line).

Agree. The WGC-KGX semifast peak services are also fully declassified (no first class tickets available). The Twitter team occasionally use a useful graphic in answer to questions but it currently completely omits these. Have been aware of some confusion when a GN train (i.e. not a 700) is used...

Unfortunately I believe the requirements of the timetable planning cycle are such that the earliest we could see changes (such as the reinstatement of stops at Hatfield on those trains that miss there southbound in the evening peaks / reinstatement of services levels in the am peak for New...

Have been advised that all three tickets are each available from all the listed stations - should be correct at ticket machines and websites. The page you quoted will be reviewed and hopefully updated.

I’d already spotted it and have checked the position at Hatfield- all 3 are available. I’m hoping to get to the Meet the Manager at Kings Cross tomorrow and am planning to query the formatting of the table. Will report back tomorrow evening!

Suspect it is part of the vegetation work being done by NR linked to the Thameslink Resilience Project, which covers 30 miles northwards from Kings Cross St Pancras. It was largely paused pending the publishing of the Varley Report* before Christmas but work is underway again. * The Varley...

This looks to be a possible alternative purchase route - you can order and get them sent to you in advance: https://www.visitbritainshop.com/world/london-travelcard/

I’ve seen this happen - gateline staff. Also possibly useful to have one of those in case of a later issue.

All GN/TL services go to Kings Cross (rather than St Pancras) in the current timetable on Saturdays. On a normal Sat the 16:54 would go to Kings Cross - with no need to change at Finsbury Park. Neither GN nor TL sell tickets for specific trains - believe times are just used to assess whether...

At Liverpool Street LU gates are separate from NR but would be very useful - particularly when it’s wet.
