Yeah they are pretty smart these days, CityMapper will sometimes highlight if a normally suggested route is disrupted too, and I find it generally better (it's bus time indications are more correct than those on google maps for instance which I never understood)

Yeah feels like it should be a pretty open and shut case, but the post episode blurb seemed to imply more work was needed

I wasn't quite sure what happened with the serial fare dodger at Ilford in the end, they gave up cos she wouldn't admit the card was hers? But surely she'll never use it again so they'll never catch her now? And all the threats to get the police were for nothing? I may rewatch it was only half...

Thanks watershed, I had no idea the underground fare difference was that large we'll definitely do that. I do find that particularly odd as I'm not avoiding zone 1, why is it so much cheaper?

ok fantastic quick responses guys, I think Alistair nailed it and if I just searched for singles from Paddington to Newbury, then Newbury to Paddington separately all the advance singles and options came up. I picked up first class tickets both ways for £45 total for the pair of us!

Hi, I'm looking to travel with my partner from Clapham Junction to Newbury on 10/10 leaving about 17:30 (though flexible within reason) and back on the 12/10 at about 12:00 (again flexible within reason). We have a two together railcard. I did a quick search for these dates on the forum ticket...

Apologies if this has been covered already and I guess it's technically slightly off topic, but why are 455s being used on Waterloo to Reading whilst 450s are now running on suburban routes instead. Is it just certain diagrams were marked for 701s and the 701s aren't there yet so they have to...

If it were me I'd just stay on all the way to Heathrow Central, not only because of the greater choice of trains there as mentioned by Route115? but also because you'll likely have a much better seating situation on your original train than switching onto an already busy service. But yes on the...

I'm sure others with more information will be along shortly but with the withdrawal of the 455s and the rollout of the 701s, more 450s are ending up on the surburban lines now (been particularly noticeable over the last couple of months)

I think if you're used to a 455 they could set the 701s to oven temperature and people wouldn't complain too much, but no I've never heard anyone complaining. EDIT: sorry was on the wrong page, this was in relation to the aircon being too high

There's also no mention on the catch up website of another episode whereas before they showed the upcoming episodes

Ah so it was heat not storms I wasn't sure. I guess that's fair enough but I didn't think the temperature forecast was particularly hot today. Monday on the other hand...

Ok it went without hitch though my ticket never got checked on the 1157, no idea what the forecast extreme weather was supposed to be though.

Ok, thanks, I'll get the 1157 then. As a purely hypothetical question now, my original planned route in the first post would have also have been valid, even without the cancellation easement?

This is correct. However, your first train isn't cancelled, so you would have to stick to the first Super Off-Peak service out of Clapham Junction, which is the 12:27. As mentioned, it's possible that the guard will allow your ticket due to the later cancellation, but it would be discretionary...

So the message on X is wrong?

Ok, sure and I they say yes on X, I can just show that to the guard and they'll be fine with that? I can buy a super-off peak single on the 1201, so I think I'm good validilty wise anyway though obviously it's more hassle + oyster fare. Edit: Well, no luck there anyway: Hey Thomas...

Thankyou fair shout that is a good back-up option. Arrival time isn't essential but given there's potential to get on the train I highlighted within my ticket validity that would get there a fair bit earlier. The leg from Woking to Portsmouth would be within my ticket validity so I don't think...

I have a Super-off peak return from Clapham Junction to Portsmouth for travel tomorrow (Saturday) and tickets have been bought already (how foolish of me to plan ahead) OG plan was to take the 1227 from Clapham Junction to Woking, and then switch onto the 1255 to Portsmouth. All well and good...

Not sure I'll be adding much to the thread as I'm sure there are others far more in the know but aside from the 701s which I'm seeing more often now it also seems more 450s are doing the suburban routes now. It's nice since they're air-conned but there's limited standing space. The 701s are...
