Hence my suggestion/query on using routing rather than occupancy, as that would have changed the CIS several mins sooner. If occupancy has to be used, could you design the system to default to platform 4 for a train booked for the Main but running on the Relief and change again to Platform 5 if...

Another last minute platform change for 1P92 at Maidenhead today (the original train that sparked this thread). It only platform altered on CIS and the National Rail app once it was in the platform berth (as shown on OTT). However there are 7 signal berths before that which would have indicated...

I've had similar issues to the OP with similar Didcot to Paddington trains but at Tilehurst. On the rare occasions it's switched unplanned from the relief to fasts the CIS doesn't update, not even just before arrival. The last junction to crossover is 15 mins beforehand. Once I've spotted on...

That's probably because the timetabled Swindon/Didcot to Ealing Broadway GWR trains are all terminating at Reading due to a 'planning error'. "Due to a planning error for the possession/isolation at Acton West, we cannot run our stopping services past Reading."...

Might it be a multi-TOC revenue block or similar at New St, with TfW staff present, hence being issued by them?

Yesterday it was only a few trains at the start and end of service that had Reading as a passenger call, so most of the day Contactless wouldn't have been valid. However my mate used Contactless fine on one of the trains starting at Reading. The guard accepted without issue and staff at Euston...

I've had 5 claims this month and found the response time depends on the complexity. Those with a single eTicket have been approved within a couple of days, those using split tickets have taken up to a fortnight to approve. I'm guessing that the split ticket ones need a manual review, hence the...

There is an article in the Evening Standard about this too https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/gwr-paddington-trains-diverted-euston-elizabeth-line-hs2-christmas-b1180532.html

The list of stations is now on the press release too: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/transport-secretary-fires-the-starting-gun-on-rail-reform-as-public-ownership-bill-reaches-final-stages-in-commons

Same here. I've reported to Uber/Omio support a week ago, who responded "Unfortunately, as of right now, we are unable to provide you with any update regarding the situation as it's still being worked on."

On the Android Play store listing the first screenshot shows a section titled "Test Live Trains free form text component edited", not exactly a great first impression. A later screenshot has an error "Calling points failed to load". Many of the screenshot have a red banner "Major disruptions...

Elizabeth Line staff at Hayes & Harlington were scanning eTickets using a handheld scanner when I exited there recently.

165113 + 111 have also been working on Paddington - Oxford services this afternoon too e.g. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G60417/2024-02-18/detailed https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G60420/2024-02-18/detailed

On any given day when GWR are short of units, are Control really going to cancel other trains to protect the Greenford standby unit or will it be pressed into service elsewhere though?

From the 20th May 2019 there was a service which arrived into Reading around 06:45, starting from Oxford which was previously a 6 car turbo and became a 5 car IET, although was a 9 car did show up on some days. From Dec 2019 the service was curtailed to start at Didcot and became a 12 car 387...
