Good evening, I posted a while back asking whether an LST - ESM 'any permitted route' season was valid via SSD and was told that it was. This morning I was checking to ensure that that was still the case and came across the ATOC routeing point calculator at http://data.atoc.org/rp_calc...

Good morning, I'm after a little help please. I've currently got a Stansted Mountfitchet - London Terminals annual season ticket. It's coming up for renewal and I've read on here that an Elsenham - London Terminals annual season offers the additional flexibility of travel via Stansted Airport...

Good morning, Wondering if anyone can help? I've found a website which suggests that the car park at Totnes railway station is free. Is that still correct? Thanks, Andy.

Hello - I'm looking for some fares advice please. I'm looking the cheapest way to travel the following journey: Stansted Mountfitchet (SST) to Bristol Temple Meads (BRI) 1 person has 16-25 railcard and requires a ticket for the full journey. 1 person has a season ticket covering SST to...

I often visit my grandad in Richmond and travel from Liverpool Street (underground) to Richmond via Bank, the Waterloo and City line and then mainline rail from Waterloo to Richmond. Every time I do this, I seem to get charged the maximum daily amount on my PAYG Oyster card. I'm obviously doing...

Morning! I'm due to travel from London (any terminal) to Hinckley, Leicestershire on 19th January and need to do so as cheaply as possible. I checked the fares on RSH and I'm getting ~£100 for the journey I want. My employer has said this is too much and I must drive instead. I really don't...

My OH just drove close to Great Chesterford station and said that it appeared that it, or an area very close by, may be on fire. NXEA website shows a 'line-side fire in the Great Chesterford area'. Anyone have any more news? Hope no one was caught up in it. :s

Evening! I'm looking to travel from Stansted Mountfitchet to Cambridge tonight. I want to pay by rail travel voucher. As Stansted is unmanned, can I: a) Buy from the RPI b) Buy once I get to Cambridge Or will I get a fine if I get on board without a ticket?... Thanks! Andy.

Wondering if you can help? I bought a London Midland only super off-peak return ticket for £19 from Euston to Bedworth valid from tomorrow (Saturday 26/11/2011) on Redspottedhanky.com and collected it at Stansted Mountfitchet. I intended to take my bike and travel from Stansted...

I've got a Stansted Mountfitchet to London Terminals 'any permitted route' annual season. I was just looking at routeing map ST on the ATOC website and it lists Stratford on the route. Does this mean I could travel to Stratford using my ticket? Or would my route come under map WA? Possibly a...

A couple of times over the last few days I've seen a blue plus symbol printed out to fill an A4 sheet of paper and stuck on the inside of the windscreen in the cab, facing out towards the direction of travel. This is on 379s on the Stansted Express route. What does it signify? Curiosity will...

Morning, I'm going to Chappel beer festival on Friday 9th September and I'll be going from LST to COL after work to meet friends. This will be around 16:00, so peak time. We're then going to CWC for the beer festival - likely to be at peak time also. We're then going back to COL for the...

A day of questions from me... Just sitting at Liverpool Street and an empty 379 has pulled out with the PIS screens showing 'This train is for BT North End'. Does this signify anything in particular?

The title says it all really... Lol. What are they? They're bright yellow cylinders with a cone-shaped top which points down under the track with a black tube sticking out which runs under the rails. I did try searching, but I have no idea where to start with that ^ description! :) They...

A while back I was travelling on a Pendolino into Euston when the interior lighting suddenly failed. The train manager came over the intercom and apologised for the situation, asked passengers not to use the toilets and said that we were running in (what sounded like) "de-group mode". I may...

Is there any reason why NXEA trolley service staff (I'm assuming that's their only role - apologies if this is not the case) refuse pax access to the rear of the train, asking them instead to board near the front? I've just got on the Stansted Express at Liverpool Street and the guy was...

Probably quite a basic question, but what are the small (12" x 24") grids for in the middle of the track? They look like small cattle grids and the rails run parallel to the track. Can't really describe them any better than that unfortunately. They don't seem to be protecting anything...

I've had a look at the NRCoC and I can't see the answer to this question, so I'm hoping you can help. :) I've got a 12 month 'any permitted route' season ticket from A to E. I often stop off at intermediate stations such as B to go shopping, etc. No problems here. All services that I would...

I've just passed through Great Chesterford station towards Bishop's Stortford and at the side of the track, shortly after the platform, there were four banks of four propane gas cylinders spaced about 100m apart. What would these be for? I couldn't see what they were connected to - it certainly...
