    Project Oval: TfL win DfT contract to expand contactless system to 233 rail stations by May 2024, Railcards coming to contactless payment cards

    Probably a stupid question, but how can the fares be loaded when the fares structure hasn't been confirmed?

    St Margrethen - Buchs, CH (rail replacement?) bus EV3 & Interrail

    Thanks all - made it to Chur, albeit two hours later than planned thanks to a missed connection at München due to border checks delaying my RailJet and then DB short-forming the RegioExpress to Lindau-Reutin, meaning I chose to wait for the next Zürich EuroCity "Express" rather than try and...

    Southeastern joining trains at Ashford International

    Weird - searching for tomorrow, both SE and NRE show the 1635 for me. Same on the SE Android app.

    2023 Antipodean foray to UK and Europe

    Think you got some of the digits mixed up - there's no such unit. If I've followed your report accurately and this was the 14th September then it would have been 150234 according to RTT https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:P76079/2023-09-14/detailed#allox_id=0 Enjoyable read so far!

    St Margrethen - Buchs, CH (rail replacement?) bus EV3 & Interrail

    On Saturday 28th October, I need to travel from Wien to Chur, Switzerland. My initial plan was to take the Railjet through the Arlberg Pass to Buchs and change for an IR train to Chur. However, it seems there are multiple sets of engineering works on that date beteween Salzburg and Kufstein and...

    Stopping trains from departing with station staff assisting passengers onboard

    A similar problem also sometimes occurs when it comes to trains with guards stopping at stations where the guard isn't involved in dispatch. There was an instance at Otford some years ago where the guard helped a passenger off the train, only for the driver to self dispatch using the DOO...

    SWR Metro fleet permanent withdrawals

    Noticed a pair of SWR liveried 707s in Grove Park Down CHS this morning, I assume they must be the aforementioned 707014 and 023. Is it just this pair that are transferring across for now, or are more on the way imminently? EDIT: Sorry, just saw the posts on the previous page

    Understanding RealTimeTrains data

    Another common example are the 2Hxx Charing X - Tunbridge Wells trains and the 2Hxx London Bridge - Beckenham Jn trains, which often cause erroneous reports between London Bridge and Bricklayers Arms where both can be scheduled within an hour or two of each other, albeit on different sets of lines.
