Got a response from Omio and still can't say one way or the other. Query Response

Arriva took a big hit in Wednesday's tender results with three of their Dartford-based routes moving to Go-Ahead in Bexleyheath. The 65/N65 is staying with RATP as expected, though the PVR is still to be announced (possibly in connection with the Superloop 2 proposals). LOTS extract below

That's a fine picture - under-construction access road, rear-view mirror perspective and fully-modified Braybrooke GSP pylon in one shot! I had a quick browse on RMweb and came across a picture of Wigston MPATS with the autotransformers in place (to the left of picture), so that's the...

I don't believe the demolition will take place before the 18/19 May possession. (There's also a possession due on 8/9 June - would allow for a replacement bridge if that's still planned). It was originally planned for September 2023, if not earlier (post #6394).

Thanks for the photos. Had a look on one.network and there are indeed a couple of NR-related traffic control permits on that road: 17-26 April (underway) 29 April - 24 June (to follow)

Not a scenario I've ever tested, so I couldn't say for sure. Ah, just remembered I once travelled from Luton to Cockfosters with a one-day Explorer on the Uno 610 without having to "break" in Hertfordshire (they were also happy for me to use it intra-London on the 614). In your example...

Central Bedfordshire have launched their mojo multi-operator ticket today, which counts Arriva, Centrebus, Grant Palmer, Stagecoach and Uno as its participants. All journeys with the aforementioned operators that start and/or finish within Central Bedfordshire are eligible, and the product is...

First integral E400EV in passenger service appears to be 80004 (SK24 XRE), which is tracking on the 2.

I'm guessing that's because Omio haven't added it to their booking engine. I've sent them a message about it.

The South of Bedford Upgrade (OLE125 etc, estimated to finish in late 2025) now has its own page: https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-routes/east-midlands/midland-main-line-upgrade/south-of-bedford-upgrade/ There's also a page for the Agar Grove bridge replacement, which...

One of the demo E400EVs (AD24 BEV) is doing rounds on the 36. I presume Transdev's 19 are still some months out with ADL manufacturing the Oxford models first. https://www.facebook.com/groups/psvcircle/posts/8005219146162892/

Hertfordshire June 2024 changes are up on Intalink, almost entirely on Arriva routes. Relevant changes quoted below. Of particular note are the 100/101 becoming the 100/101/102 (part of the aforementioned BSIP package?) and the 328 being withdrawn.
