Also wonder what they do on iOS where one cannot simply 'turn off NFC'.

Apologies - I’ve been away over the weekend so timing could definitely have been better! I’ve made some changes yesterday and again this morning - hopefully it’ll look a bit better now but will keep an eye.

That's interesting - so as I've been through it once, I can go straight to the e-gates at Schiphol without visiting the EES terminal again each time (presumably for 2 years)?

Modern lifts will - mostly - have a preset evacuation level all lifts will return to and open the doors at, in the event of a fire alarm in its host building. I have had a lift turn round halfway up a building, quite the odd experience!

That seems like quite the limitation - thermal printing (even on CCST!) degrades over time, so for longer-duration rovers it's an entirely reasonable requirement. I would not be amused if a rover lost its remaining value because the issuing TOC couldn't do a thing to get it reprinted.

Not a good look. Whoever approved non-redundant critical systems for CrossCountry operations at Arriva must be a bit red in the face today….

No thank you, Bedford to the North is inconvenient enough as it is, and the poor commuters of Bedford and Wellingborough have just had 20 minutes added onto the average journey time. EMR just need to get the 360 fleet into a place where it is reliable, consistently.

The point remains though that it should, in my view, be an option rather than the JP being the only way of purchasing tickets. Particularly if TOCs are removing TVMs, the time each person spends at one needs to be optimised.

The accident report has (finally!) been published - unlocked for @U-Bahnfreund to provide an update.

Worth mentioning that if you are staying at a hotel/Airbnb in Geneva you should get a public transport card valid for your entire stay, which also covers journeys from/to the airport.

Or in the case of one visit to Zaandam earlier this year 'our control centre can't open these gates remotely, just use the emergency plunger and let yourself out'. But yes - never had an issue in NL using the info poles if I get stuck.

That isn't correct as far as I'm aware, the original ticket retailer is irrelevant for delays where the journey was still completed (much like here in the UK) - SNCB will just refer you back to DB. They'll need to complete this form and post it back (yes, I know it's archaic!) or hand it into a...

Correct, you now enter Schengen alongside entering Gibraltar.

Looks like the Northbound Lowlander was cancelled due to a fault last night, so they took an operational decision to cancel the southbound Highlander from Edinburgh, presumably to ensure the sets are still balanced. As someone who doesn't pay attention to the sleeper operation nowadays on a...

Yes, but with no ability to walk between the sets, there is still only one accessible to passengers at any one time.

That service is terminating at Rochdale - looks like Victoria is still entirely blocked.

As far as I am aware the 360s only ever had one toilet even when they were with GA, so I think the site is just plain wrong.

Per @LowLevel and as someone who travels on them regularly, there is only one toilet per unit.

It's been the case certainly throughout the 3 years or so I've been going a couple of times a year, but does seem to be spreading. Both debit and credit cards are affected, the only thing that decides if the surcharge is applied is the country of issue.

Yes, today has been particularly bad! After spending a good chunk of my evening so far playing around with rulesets, I think I've found a reasonable compromise. Almost certainly, we're not specifically being targeted other than we're content-rich so ideal for AI bots to stomp around!
