I've got on a train at Marylebone and Chiltern's departure boards are not working both there and at other stations we're passing through. Are any other operators affected? The screens are saying "Information system restarting. Information available shortly" and seem to be constantly restarting...

I came across an unusual situation this evening. The interior door that seperates (declassified) first class and standard class was locked on a Class 700. For those unfamiliar with the layout this means that there was only one external door available to use for people in the first class section...

Universal Signalling is deploying a trial of their U-Cross system between Llandeilo and Llandovery on the Heart of Wales line, which gives signallers much more precise location information of trains than just knowing which block is currently occupied in Absolute Block signalling. This is used by...

This morning I was attempting to travel from Southampton Airport Parkway (SOA) to London Waterloo (WAT), for onward travel on the 1003 LNER service from Kings Cross (KGX) to Edinburgh. I had a pre-purchased ticket from Kings Cross to Edinburgh and used SWR Tap2Go from SOA to WAT. I was planning...

I need to travel from Manchester to Southampton tomorrow (Sunday) returning on Bank Holiday Monday. For Sunday it looks like XC will be running hourly, I'd prefer this over travelling via London as I can flex my travel time to where the double sets are allocated and/or travel in first class...

I'm now hearing 5Y26 has derailed just south of Milton Keynes... Not 100% certain in my source but something has certainly happened as nothing is moving.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as much of a rant but I thought I'd share my poor success rate with ticket barriers today. After figuring out that the magnet in my earbuds case was demagnetising my paper tickets I hoped for a high success rate, now that I stored them in different pockets. Nope...

Afternoon all, On the 17th December I travelled from St Albans (SAC) - St Pancras (STP) - Kings Cross (KGX) - York (YRK) using Thameslink KeyGo for the SAC - STP leg and an Advance ticket for KGX - YRK. Due to a person sadly struck by a train, ours was terminated at Doncaster (DON) vice York...

Does anyone know how soon you can tap back in after tapping out with keyGo? I tried doing it immediately at Stevenage and exited the barriers as normal, then when going back through I got error code 02, meaning wrong ticket type or direction. The barriers didn't open, but I checked with my...

I have found a possible fare for a journey I will be regularly making soon. I'm going to use a different one here as the real one undercuts the intended fare but it's the same idea. Let's say it's a Woking - East Croydon "not via London" return which can be used changing between SWR and Southern...

Earlier today I got an email from Thameslink announcing weekly capping at the season ticket price, from Monday - Sunday. This isn't something I have a use for myself right now but it's good to see as SWR's Tap2Go already has weekly capping. This will apply across GTR with the first week of...

While looking at fares between St Albans City (SAC) and Canary Wharf EL (CWX) I spotted this oddity. If you go on TrainSplit and click on cheap, a £20.00 fare will appear changing at London Bridge (LBG). Putting the LBG change aside, this is offered as an eTicket even though the journey planner...

Apologies in advance if a similar question has been asked before but my search terms might not quite be correct! Southeastern seems to have two versions of 2F01 on weekdays that have exactly the same timings and load, but the UIDs are out by 1. Here are the links to the MTWO and ThFO versions...

Currently (1100) just south of Balcombe one of the berths says LBSP on the up line. I understand there is a track circuit failure on the Balcombe viaduct and 9W20 and 1F21 are being held at Haywards Heath (HHE) so the LB part is almost certainly Line Block. So that leaves the question what does...

I've been looking at Thameslink's various notices for the period of industrial action and I spotted that there is engineering work closing the core on the 27th. I'm pretty sure when I looked a couple of weeks ago there it wasn't there. Does anyone know if this is a new addition due to some...
