Sometimes you just want to turn up and go and don't have time to buy the PRIV orange ticket in advance at a ticket office. Sometimes a station ticket office is closed but the gateline is still operational. Many ticket machine don't offer a permit to travel option so I have emailed Thameslink...
701 is not planned to be operating regularly on this route (probably except 1Nxx service in the peak time which some services are class 458 which could be replaced by 701).
The fare setter is TPE for first class tickets but the only permitted route is via Hebden Bridge or Todmorden, so I am not sure
Could be a valid route via Manchester previously, but fare not removed from database?
This train takes the path of 2h89 which now terminates at SKI so have to be semi fast. It seems to form the 2h60 1741 from LDS to SKI stopping service every weekday.
Probably just changes in stock movement and a potential gap in service if no replacement train at 1256.
Network rail introduced a late block for the whole weekend at Eastleigh to sort out the derailment. Therefore there will be late alteration with services terminating at Winchester vice Eastleigh.
So will the ticket be valid if I take the last train from Skipton to Leeds. Break the journey at Leeds. Then take the first train available with the ticket (probably the 0945 to Peterborough)?
It could be due to pathing at Letchworth
The xx36 that pass through Welwyn terminates at Letchworth at xx54. Then forms an ECS to Letchworth arr/dep line at xx56. The headway is 3 minutes at Letchworth and there is a LNER train passing on the down direction at xx59.
The xx06 could potentially...
I traveled on a Saturday 2 months ago from CLJ to EUS via Wilesden Junction (Touching the pink reader) and I was charged 60p (with priv discount 75% off). Therefore the off peak fare will be £2.40 for this route.
It is getting a bit off topic but around 2 years ago Northern had guard strikes on Mon, Wed, Fri but normal service runs on Tuesday and Thursday (or the other way round).
It just takes a lot of efforts from the planning team.
There are quite a lot of spare drivers sitting in depots so getting trains to the right place( only requires drivers) is unlikely going to cause disruption.
Around 90 seconds of pathing time has been added for Longcross station for trains not stopping there since the May 2019 timetable. (Between Virginia Water and Sunningdale).
It is in the Train Planning Rules document.
Northam is a Drivers only depot and most drivers are either taxi from Southampton Central to the depot or pass on a train (rare) and get off at the siding.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
