Apparently the signals at St Pancras are being changed from fibre optic to LED ones… how does a fibre optic signal work in terms of showing the aspects?

Sometimes when viewing the maps, and you click on a head code, it takes you to a different head code's data altogether... eg today when I click on 1Y11.. ..it takes me here: Any ideas why? This happens quite a lot! On a similar note why are lots of head codes in yellow and not even...

So yesterday me and my other half went to the theatre in London, from Chelmsford. I have a PRIV but he decided to try the new contactless/project oval. So he tapped in at Chelmsford, out at Liverpool Street, in at Liverpool Street tube, and out at Tottenham Ct Road. On the return he tapped in...

Recently Greater Anglia seem to have stopped showing the length of a train on their departure boards at Chelmsford, does anyone know what might be a reason for this?

As a driver I don't know what happens at the signaller's end when we register the head code into the GSMR... when you look at any of the online signal maps like Trays or Open Train Times, you see the train's head codes but they show even before registering so I guess it doesn't control that...

It honestly seems like I’m just permanently baffled by train fares these days. Chelmsford to Liv Street return tomorrow (Monday). From 19:02 the tickets get cheaper because it seems that’s when I can get an off peak day return; trains prior to that one offer only the off peak day travelcard...

So my journey from Chelmsford to Bradford Forster Square on the 1540 LNER from KX was going ok until Leeds, then we sat around for about 20 mins and then they announced the train was now cancelled and we should use local trains to continue our journeys to Bradford. I got the 1842 Northen train...

I have a staff travel ticket as above and the itinerary is to get off at Stratford and get to King’s Cross from there, why would it be that and not to Liverpool Street..?

So class 373 trains will happily let you pull away with doors open, steps out etc., do any other older UK sets have this? I'm surprised it's not mandated to be honest!

So I am booking a ticket from Chelmsford to Liverpool Street, leaving tomorrow at 11:25am, returning Thursday morning.... Why is the one random 09:48 return train cheaper than the 2 on either side of it? They all seem to be 2 off peak returns...?! This is with a Network Railcard...

So until now I have been using GA's mobile app to get my tickets. Their website does very neat and compact expense receipts for past journeys that I can very easily copy and paste into my expense claim for work: I am having a bit of trouble locating a similar thing on the Uber website under...

So I'm looking at my tickets to work for an upcoming week of night shifts, Chelmsford to Liverpool Street. A return leaving at 20:00 tonight (sunday) returning 07:00 tomorrow (monday) with a Network Railcard is £27.55, discounted from £31.90, made of an off-peak day single and an Anytime Day...

Just went to buy my ticket to work tomorrow, an off peak return from Chelmsford to Liverpool Street, and the usual option of a mobile ticket on the app is not there; I can only choose "collect from station".. same for every ticket I try... if this a permanent change it's gonna be pretty...

Today I was trying to go from pitsea to West Ham. According to Trainline there is an 11:50 that’s only a half hour journey. But according to National Rail app this doesn’t exist and it’s only the slow trains? What am I missing?

I work for a London TOC, and commute from Chelmsford usually buying daily returns with a Network Railcard, as more often than not I travel in off peak/super off peak times (we do not get PRIV for commuting on national rail). Occasionally such a week of night shifts it works out marginally...

My other half is travelling from Bournemouth to Chelmsford today and his ticket is an anytime day single "via London" - can he use this to go via Redding to get the Elizabeth line there to avoid the Tube strike issues in Central London?

Something to do with the vacuum brake system I understand... but what exactly and how does (did) it work?

Do ASLEF no longer have this on their website..? It used to show useful details of all TOCs/FOCs including pay, conditions etc; but now it doesn't seem to be in the members area section any more!

Hi guys, I travelled from Chelmsford to Chepstow on Wednesday, returning Friday (yesterday). On both trips, one train was delayed enough to make me miss my connection at Newport. Outbound, my GWR train was 10 mins late, and I only had a 9 minute connection to make the XC service to Chepstow...

Just after some clarification here. If a PTAC oyster ID card is marked “TFL Rail Only”, what modes should that be valid on..?
