Indeed although I see both used platform 7 tonight...

I contacted GTR via Twitter who confirm "upon checking this with the relevant team they’ve advised that this is due to safety reasons. Whilst the platform may look long enough, the last coach can just about fit which isn’t enough distance clearance for the doors to safety open and for passengers...

Can anyone explain how in the redevelopment they made platform 6 not long enough and therefore the rear doors in the rear coach do not open on a Class 700 train?

I have noticed that on a 700 the rear doors are locked out on platform 6 southbound (at least, there could be more platforms) does anyone know why this is? It seems odd that all the money has been spent, yet the platforms are too short. It caught a few people out but they were just about to be...

Any reason why it has not been fixed? It has been days now.

Hi For the past few days I have noticed on Open Train Times Maps that Platform 2 seems to be blocked and all departures are going from platform 1 southbound. Does anyone know the reason for this?

For that season ticket does it matter what 3 days you choose, does it impact the gold card?

Thanks, I think I will just buy the annual gold online and where it is loaded on to the key, it says a gold record cold will be posted out so seems like it should all be good.

Yes exactly, I want buy the annual gold card online on the key as I believe it will then be loaded as a Railcard.

Hi I am looking at going to London Thameslink Stations from Haywards Heath once or maybe twice a week. My plan is to purchase an Annual Season ticket from Newhaven Town to Newhaven Harbour to get access to the gold card and then use the KeyGo and travel after 9:30 each day. I would therefore...

Indeed but the treasury is going to end with 0 money instead of some money in many cases I believe. The fact that off peak and weekend trains are busy and yet peak time trains are not clearly shows that its price issue.

Absolutely, flexi season tickets are a joke. It's cheaper to buy two weeklys for more days. 1631286036 Agreed, mine is £280 instead of £400 for a whole month. I think around £150 - £180 would be reasonable.

It's pretty simple for me, a standard anytime ticket is too expensive. Gone from 5 days a week annual season ticket to WFH as its not viable to go in the office 2/3 days a week, our office is not even open 5 days a week yet like many employers. The government and RDG can say what they want but...

Which releases 377s for the Eastbourne and Littlehampton services?

I was thinking this, maybe all (4) Gatwick express go to Brighton, this means they are not blocking the platforms at Gatwick. Are these the only changes?
