    Whitechapel - Gatwick Airport

    You'd need to change at Farringdon rather than Victoria or Blackfriars to get the default fare, as there are no barriers between tube & National Rail platforms at Farringdon.

    Junction route indicators

    Take a look at section 2.3 of RS521 located here. As mentioned in a previous post only valid routes are counted in the 1-2-3 4-5-6 system therefore route one is not necessarily the adjacent line on the left, but it would normally be the first valid route on the left.

    A question about operating the Speed Set on the Class 390

    Acceleration isn't their strong point, so forget about notch one. I tend to start rolling in two, then up to three and am in notch four before reaching 15mph. Everyone drives them slightly different though.

    A question about operating the Speed Set on the Class 390

    Nothing noticeable if you're already moving, it's only from a stand that you'd aim to use a lower setting.

    A question about operating the Speed Set on the Class 390

    You need to move the power brake controller (PBC) away from a power position to disengage speed set, so in your example you'd move the PBC to off and then take power again to accelerate (typically straight into notch 4).

    W SUP OPK DAY S - Greater Anglia

    It's been available for quite some time, but I've only ever found it on sites such as GA, VT and Raileasy. Sites which use WebTIS (if that's what it's called) have never retailed it AFAIK.
