    It's still in the internal guidance, with the list of stations last updated in 2023. But whether GTR intend for that or not, who knows.

    Many season tickets on GTR (and other TOCs) also have additional validity at even more locations than just stated in the AAA. As an example, season tickets from Haywards Heath to East Croydon and beyond are also valid to/from Ashurst (Kent), Buxted, Cowden, Crowborough, Dormans, East Grinstead...

    How best to break journey into peak and off peak?

    Yes, definitely! I was just curious. :)

    How best to break journey into peak and off peak?

    Even with the additional exit-reenter-exit at the same gateline first? If it's not an OSI same-gateline, then would that not split up the journey before the OSI into the next GTR gateline (or maybe that is considered an abandoned journey with the charge removed after re-entering within N minutes)?

    How best to break journey into peak and off peak?

    Would it be possible to exit and reenter at the TfL staffed gates, and then exit again and go through the GTR gates? It would certainly look particularly strange, but I don't know if Oyster will split up the journey in this case.

    Best time to buy an advance ticket

    Everyone uses the same reservations system, and there shouldn't be any differences between retailer pricing as a result (other than things like split ticketing of course).

    Best time to buy an advance ticket

    Within the public booking windows linked above (usually about 12 weeks), prices are unlikely to go down after you book. Outside of the 12 week window, some TOCs offer an extending booking horizon. In some cases, you might see advance journeys further than 12 weeks out decrease in price when...

    TrainPal Price Match Promise rejected

    I thought Trainpal also had their price drop promise, where they'll refund the difference if your tickets drop in price between when you order and when you travel. They claim they do this automatically. Do they not, in fact, actually do this? Shock horror.

    Forthcoming changes to National Rail Conditions of Travel

    Or buying a ticket a ticket from another station if you are returning to a station other than the one you're leaving from. That's something I do very often, living nearly equidistant to two stations where fares are identical.

    Chiltern Services London Marylebone - Oxford - inconsistent prices

    Well, they're either priced arbitrarily, or priced based on expected demand! It can't be both!

    Is the NRE Advance booking dates page accurate?

    33.4%, rounded down to the nearest 5p. Extending the horizon requires work to detect and handle set-swaps on some operators. The issue you describe with the error is that our websites and apps each have slightly different logic to determine what the horizon is, and won't match the backend...

    New clock unveiled

    Indeed, because a WearOS watch face without accurate timing info is pretty useless. Android widgets, on the other hand, are entirely different. In any case, I've made a watch face with this clock design which is just pending review from Google before actually being downloadable onto WearOS...

    Dubious TrainPal adverts

    I have it on very good authority that the videos are from Trainpal, or an organisation which Trainpal pays to create them.
