    Luton Airport changes (travel desk / DART gateline)

    When I worked for easyjet at Luton airport, including stints on the ticket desk in the terminal. We had lots of people pay for tickets by cash, I vividly remember a builder who paid for 4 return flights to malaga a month all in cash many a time. I'd say it was 550/50 cash and card.

    BML closed between Gatwick Airport and East Croydon (various routes) on 12 January

    Depends on the level of work taking place, plain line renewals generally you keep one open and work on the other. If it's a major junction renewal then it's hard to keep lines open.

    Class 810 for East Midlands Railway Construction/Introduction Updates

    Was in work early doors today, the overnight test train went up to Corby arriving 40+ early, but never left again with the rest of today's test runs cancelled. Guess an issue not resolvable.

    Single Justice Procedure advice needed - train to Gatwick Govia Thameslink; success!

    This may also have a great bearing on her job, especially with the airport security passes she requires. If she is seasonal crew or permanent when time comes to renew, this may well flag up ( if found guilty). Not sure on the process or what you need to do to let the airline know.

    GWR Par Depot

    Always seems to be one of those depots looking for qualified drivers all the time. Guess it's like the remote ScotRail depots, people like the thought of the remotness, but the reality is much different.

    Class 700 doors opening automatically instead of just releasing.

    It's not possible in service, to open all doors. You can only release them not open them.

    ETCS Vulnerability to Radio Outage

    As far as I'm aware everything still worked ok, just trains were unable to set up. Not sure where the OP got mass disruption through the TL core came from, I looked from 0600 onwards only a couple of cancellations seen. Listed as planning error and points failure.

    5 Class 350s Flood Damaged

    Just typed in Northampton station flooding to Google, and pressed on images. Shows both sidings full of orange class 730s. 350s in platform 4&5. Looks like a pair of 350s appeared in P3 some time after.

    5 Class 350s Flood Damaged

    I'm sure in one of the early pictures published you could see an orange unit in the sidings.

    Southern driver's towards the end only drove the first Redhill departure, and the last arrival. This is now done by a GWR night driver. 1732820417 Iirc the EMR Barton on Humber services are crewed by Lincoln crews. Not even based on the line but further away.

    Gatwick Airport Station closed due to suspicious package - now to reopen shortly (22/11)

    My 9T was not to stop at Gatwick but to call at Horley additionally. Gatwick was dead not a single person including staff to be seen on the platforms. 1732311847 I don't think many outside the peaks. They could easily be changed to Three bridges PNB point. 1732311951 Could be quicker there is...
