The last southbound Lumo can run quite early as well, though normally not as much as last Thursday night! (36 early) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G26170/2025-05-01#allox_id=0

Ah, that's great to hear it's a 5G project. I've wondered myself what the trackside things were but never managed to get a good enough photo to ask on here. Hopefully it gets extended towards Southampton as the signal gets quite spotty around Winchester, worse than the signal I get at the moment...

Practically it is a through service with just a two minute dwell at Sutton. Historically it was but I believe it was split due to a direct train fare routeing loophole (which could have probably been solved with a negative easement and already wasn't an issue as I don't think you can break of...

I think the page you need to add missing taps is Tap2Go on the account management part of the website. If you're logged in this direct link might work https://tickets.southwesternrailway.com/sw/en/account/AccountBasedTicketing On their homepage there is a banner saying "measures are in place...

The Metrobus routes in Bristol are buy before you board with ticket machines at every stop.

On top of (if they boarded at Waterloo) the platform displays and station announcements being very clear what stops each coach does, as of course there are a number of short platforms after Southampton on top of dividing. It is complicated but they do nearly always explain it well.

I had a broadly similar experience last month, using the Mobilly app instead of Vivi (Mobilly does buses/trams in Riga as well as trains). I could only sign up using a Latvian number, and luckily I had a Latvian eSIM but the two others I was with didn't so I had to buy three of everything. Are...

I think you mean arrive at Paddington 15:52 and depart at 16:08. Otherwise that's a valid itinerary generated by FastJP. If I enable fares on FastJP it only shows single tickets for that itinerary while showing returns for via Liverpool Street ones.

Totally understandable, being able to have any contact on here at all is much better than response times for most things I run into! Seems to be a thing on TL origins/destinations north of London to SWR land every day of the week as far as I can see, even a random Tuesday in June. Then the OP's...

Yes Something's up here with through ticket availability involving the Thameslink core that I noticed this morning when trying to book a St Albans - Southampton Airport Parkway return which wasn't offered, only splits more expensive than the through return. I thought it was possibly due to a...

Just replying to both of you here, I think Watershed has covered getting compensation from GTR. I was doing the same southbound; my train was terminated at Elstree & Borehamwood and got an Uber to Stanmore (managed to book it before surge pricing luckily!). GTR had organised acceptance on the...

Itchen Toll Bridge in Southampton, at a rather small 40p to cross for residents, £1.20 otherwise.

While the TOCs pay it to passengers, the money comes from the DfT / Treasury - the TOCs are on National Rail Contracts now and transitioning to GBR (except open access of course) and don't really care how much they end up giving out as it's not their money! What TOCs do have are general...

Let's just hope every retailer does that.

Worked for me in Google Wallet on Ticketer. I didn't try to show it on my watch though! Might have been a bit of a stretch... Works fine for railway ticket barriers though. Uno uses the slightly older version of the Ticketer machines with the bulky driver's screen, the newer ones are thinner...
