To me the obvious reason for doing what they did would be they came to believe the original transaction had a high risk of being fraudulent.

TPE operate quite a bit from 13/14 which are primerally accessed via Also the current gates at picadilly are operated by Avanti and TPE. Maybe they decided it was easier to avoid introducing a third gate operator to the mix.

There are also many cases where ticket acceptance is arranged on busses not managed by the railway, I highly doubt these are ever loaded into railway timetabling systems.

Seen that sort of thing in a few places, not just on the railway. I presume that when the screen is unable to correctly establish a network connection and talk to it's master server the it drops into a mode where it displays troubleshooting information.

3 decades ago there were a lot less lithium ion batteries around...............

Regardless of what they are doing next, eveyone enters/leaves the station via connections to the south terminal of Gatwick airport Cross-referencing different maps, it seems there are essentially 3 options for pedestrians from there. 1. Exit onto the footpaths and service roads between the...

Who sets the incomplete journey fee? I'd assumed that at-least within the zones it would be set by tfl since it's first and foremost their system.

It seems to be quite inconsistent, IIRC when I looked it up manchester to leeds was not valid via sheffield, but manchester to york was.

Do we know why specifically it was "up to the job" for the cheadle hulme area but not for the stockport area?

What I heard was that when the "manchester south" scheme was put in, it was hoped that it would be extended to cover stockport,. When what is now platform 0 was first built it was numbered 1, presumablly in anticipation of resignalling works but the ansaldo kit proved problematic so the...

Interestingly in Woodsmoor there is a level crossing which is one-way for vehicles but two-way for pedestrians. The side from which cars can enter has a pair of traditional wig-wags, but the side from which only pedestrians can enter has a pair of flashing red men and no wig-wags...

Am I right in thinking that there are at least two types of "wheel lathe"? ones that are designed to turn wheels while they are still on the unit, and ones that are designed to turn wheels as a seperate item.

My impression is that while the UK sent huge amounts of our money down the drain in a hopeless attempt to prevent climate change, there has been a "head in the sand" attitude when it comes to mitigate the effects of the inevitable change in our climate. I think this summer has been a wake-up...

I would presume/hope that there is a margin between the range figures used for tracking purposes, and the actual fuel in the tanks and that the planning was based on "how far we can go while being confident we won't run out of fuel". It's worth noting that sheffield and ely on this route aren't...

That's why I asked him how he arrived at Liverpool street............... Notablly at stratford, everything is behind the same barriers, while at Liverpool street there are seperate barriers for the "tfl" side (inc elizibeth line IIRC) and the "NR" side. To the OP, you should be able to view...

Yeah, for a phone charging point I'd expect a double socket with USB at the very minimum (and more commonly multiple such sockets) Smells of a miscommunication somewhere about what should be fitted.

Can you describe your FULL journey? where were you travelling from? how did you get to liverpool street? did you tap your card at any stations before ariving to liverpool street.

I think this would cause more problems than it solved. There are easy delay repay cases, but there are also disputed cases. Having those disputes play out in person with ticket office staff would likely not be good for the sanity of either the ticket office staff or the passengers queuing up...

Right, but on trainsplit I can say "give me a journey that only uses tfw and wmt" at which point the tickets in question will show up. Most other sites simply don't give me the option to do that.

I think that is generally true, but I also think there are cases where trainsplit was previously the "least bad" option, but this site is better. In particular things like the "tfw+wmt" tickets.
