Some good, well informed comments in this thread. Reading what Stena have put out, I did wonder whether or not the UK government will be getting the ferry companies (and airlines) to capture advance passenger information data (API) for journeys between RoI and GB. There will be a massive...

Its been there for 3 decades. Should have been considered before it was commissioned.

I was caught up with the TL cancellations at St Neots tryong to get back to London. Cancellation reasons were all showing OHL fault as the Thameslink core got severely disrupted. No doubt the answer is crewing, but in a case like this it would be good for a back up plan for TL to run some sort...

It's not stations pulling the shutters down. The CIS notice for Three Bridges and most others on GTRs routes are put out by their control team. Having done CIS and all other disruption information etc. for 8 years at another TOC in the South East, we took pride in the information we put out. I...

Thanks. Makes sense although the information put out by the train operators which is fed through to National Rail didn't make at all clear. I don't recall seeing any specific disruption information saying that Thameslink's routes via the ECML were affected. Agree, it was a difficult afternoon...

Tried to get back from St Neots to London last night leaving around 21:00 but everything from 18:18 until 23:18 inclusive was cancelled (Source = Real Time Trains). Given reason (on National Rail/CIS screens) was the damage to overhead wires which was on the Midland Main Line. Did the Thameslink...

Thank you to everyone for your replies.

I'm pretty sure that's the case. But what I can't seem to find out is whether online registration is mandatory prior to putting in the Priv (or even a National Railcard) discount.

A friend of mine is getting his first Oyster Card for Safeguarded Priv travel on London Underground/DLR etc. He'll have the completed form issued by Rail Staff Travel and he hopes to get all it sorted out at Euston after arriving in. Once he's bought the card (think is about £10 + some credit)...

I've noticed today on the desktop site for the detailed view is that the LHS miles and chains column has gone. I know for some routes that never appeared, but seems to be everything.

Except there is a tab on the app ready for including the RTT ticket booking tool. Currently its just a link to the webpage. So money will be made that way which will go towards funding the rest of the features. 1779969033 Wasn't aware until Seat 61 announced it today as I'm not signed up to any...

Re: Inability to book seat (& cycle) only reservations on GWR. This has come up on a Facebook group (Interrailing for the older crowd) and one post quoted this response from GWR: "We are only able to reserve seats on GWR services I'm afraid. We have had complaints from other TOCs in the past...

So in the case of an Older Person's Freedom Pass (which is what I'll get, does this also acts as a ENCTS? The Freedom Pass I'm sure will work fine on Oyster readers on TfL buses (plus station ticket gates in London) but I could be running into the issue where nearly all buses outside of London...

I travel occasionally on London Buses with friends with bus passes issued by other County Councils and yes they can't be read by the Oyster readers. But never known any being told to tap in and pay. Worrying that drivers (outside of London) don't always accept them. I can see a lot of having to...

Not too long before I get one of these and trying to hunt down to see if there is any formal list of bus operators and / or specific routes the pass is excluded on. One friend of mine (whose made over 1,000 journeys with his) says he's had problems in the West Midlands and Greater Manchester. I...

With today's announcement about another expansion of contactless PAYG in SE England, was wondering who best to contact regarding the inability to use these discounts with a National Railcard. As it's multi-TOC there's no point directing at one in my opinion. They are just being told what to do...

The STC number in the format of LLNNNNNN was correctly applied. Nowadays retired staff like myself (and any spouse/partner as in this case) don't need to carry a photocard on them. I'm all in favour of spot checks being made for reductions like Priv etc. However I'd rather the gate rejected it...

In this case not strictly a National Railcard, but Safeguarded Rail Staff "Priv" reduction loaded on by a member of staff at an Underground Station. The principle is basically the same with the card details loaded on with an expiry date and number after renewing. 14 June: Reduction put on by...

Many thanks indeed for your help!
