Up the 3rd rail, don't recall one of them coming down recently :lol:

Persoanlly I'm glad that they're not showwing. I have had untold customers boarding my train by mistake because they were wrongly directed by apps.

You will have been expected to leave a reasonable amount of time from your train arriving at St Pancras to the 0730 departure from Euston. If you train is timetabled to arrive at St Pancras at 07:16, you will be asked to buy a new ticket even if the train you were on is delayed as you would not...

If I had only spent 5 more seconds researching that :lol:

If you do a quick Twitter search, you get this: https://twitter.com/TrainsAvanti Seem to be the most likely as I am guessing they don't want their twitter account being nabbed early :lol: Also has a shot of the new logo

I'd be very surprised if the OP's original post had any weight. Having seen first hand how this process works, it is normally Retail pricing managers working to the timetable in terms of setting restrictions. I've never seen a train planning manager set a timetable based on ticket restrictions...

Evenin all. Sorry if this has already been asked before but I'm struggling to find out any info about this. I know timetables are not published yet but are there any insiders that might have an inkling of first and last trains that will run from Abbey Wood?

Not sure how far that would get ya. Its already been mentioned that the conditions of travel (which are laid down by the RDG and DaFT) that the TOC's don't accept responsibility for luggage, its also mentioned in the same conditions that you can not block doorways and walkways with luggage...

Can't see foreign state back companies bailing out UK pension deficits for too long. Could you imagine the houses of parliament if UK backed companies were shelling out for dutch pensions, would be like Brexit 2.0

That a relic and simply means they don't have the right tech in place yet. I used to have to sell them vouchers from Advantix machines back in the day when the onboard card machines were being upgraded. I'm sure TFW will have a mobile solution in the pipeline already.

I've visited the social media desks for my TOC and replies like this can be issued out with the click of a button. Most TOC's that I have seen do have operating hours for their desks but don't usually have out of office replies across platforms like Twitter and Facebook. I'll admit that the...

How did a thread about a franchise end up with death? :lol:

Yep, Euston is definitely managed by NR. It may have VT staff working on it (such as fine chaps like me :lol:) but NR do all the day to day stuff like ped flows, maintenance and stakeholder management.

Time to start working on a plan B for me. Ive still got 30 years to go and it looks like my pension won't survive that time :'(

And that's the end of this thread :D
