    Platform info change on LO

    I notice this week we have new platform train indicators that no longer indicate the length of the train. Is this an “enhancement” or an error? Note:They didn’t seems to be able to reflect the operational truth but were probably linked to the proposed timetable

    i have a ticket from Kidderminster to Watford Junction. I would now like to go on to Euston; iirc the fare was the same to the two destinations. Does this mean I can ask at Kidderminster station for a zero fare excess to Euston?

    I used Mansion House station yesterday for the first time in a long time. I was surprised to the see the tracks lifted on Platform 2; am I mistaken but weren't they there in the recent past? I like looking at the prehistoric buffer at the end of the platform.

    Why I prefer paid for food, rather than complimentary food, on flights

    Faster? Current reports are that staff can't get round a third full plane on journeys of 1.5 hours and that if you do get your food you'll be lucky to get a drink with it as you have to wait for them to come around again. Reports of 45 mins wait for the drink are being reported.

    Waverley to Haymarket

    I'm on the 10:30 ex Kings Cross to Waverley. My ticket is to Edinburgh* and the TM said it was valid to Haymarket. However I've just looked at train times and there are plenty of options but I didn't ask him about TOC validity. Any clues folks?
