Last year, land for a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (near the M25 where Radlett Aerodrome used to be) was sold to SEGRO by Hertfordshire County Council; preliminary works are now underway. https://www.segro.com/countries-repository/united-kingdom/segro-logistics-park-radlett...

A member of this forum, perhaps? Either way, this has definitely caught my interest. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/pressreleases/train-fan-dave-in-bid-to-visit-all-2580-gb-railway-stations-in-just-6-weeks-3305996

So here's how the scheme has been structured since its introduction: * Set at £2 for 1 January 2023 - 31 March * Extended to 30 June * Extended to 30 November 2024, increase to £2.50 on 1 November 2023 * Increase cancelled, extended to 31 December 2024 Among those to join the scheme today are...

I may travel on Sunday 1 October with a Super Off-Peak Day Travelcard from Luton Airport Parkway. The Midland Main Line is shut south of Bedford that day (for engineering works), which means getting a replacement bus to Hitchin for Thameslink services via Potters Bar. Could I break my journey at...

Over the next couple of years Network Rail are set to replace the leaking canopies on the platform 1/2 island and then build a new footbridge with lifts. It's not a wholesale rebuild (which quite honestly the station needs), but it's a welcome development nonetheless. In the past 40+ years the...

As bus developments in Luton go, the introduction of the X10 to Hatfield (half-hourly, University of Hertfordshire term-time only) is certainly an attention grabber. Combined with the 610 (half-hourly in term-time), that's a combined regular frequency of 4bph on weekdays, run commercially per...

A second tranche of ZEBRA funding for zero emission buses in England (outside of London) has been launched, with £129 million up for local authority bidding across the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years...

Outside of TfL, combined authorities and the Big Five operators, where is it (usually named Tap On Tap Off) in operation? To be clear, I mean individual operators and/or multi-operator zones. To get things started, Grant Palmer and Leicester Flexi are two respective examples.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears there are only LU POMs located there. They should issue Railcard-discounted tickets given the station's dual LU/NR status and Chiltern services beyond Amersham, but I don't know if they actually do. I'm asking because I'll probably buy a Z1-9 Off Peak Day...

Why are there two of them (less than half a mile apart) over the single track between Romford and Emerson Park?

Four of them replaced headspans in Borehamwood out of necessity, though I presume the other headspans won't be replaced for years (if ever). What type of portals are they - MK3, UK1 or NR1? I've attached a picture for reference.

c2c have become the latest TOC to ditch the Trainline interface for online bookings. In the interim, they're using the RedSpottedHanky variant of the Atos interface, which depending on your cookie history will either be the original MixingDeck or the newer FaresView. (If you want the former...

They're starting another webchat at 1pm today. http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/customer-care/talk-to-us/meet-the-directors/

In advance of the major track works happening around London Bridge over the next 6 years, Network Rail have published a Complex Projects Procedure Notice. It includes diagrams of the proposed layouts in the station and either side of it...

I understand that track works in Clay Cross tunnel (between Derby and Sheffield) are taking place during early June. Anyone know what the existing and future linespeeds through the tunnel are?

A full range of National Rail tickets can now be obtained at Farringdon between 0730 and 1930. http://www.thameslinkprogramme.co.uk/news/news_items/view/136 By the way, has the permanent LU ticket office been reopened yet?

Southeastern are offering free return tickets on HS1 to those with a ticket for the entitled Olympic Stadium event happening on 5 May. Here is a summary of the T&Cs: * 5,000 tickets available on a first-come first-served basis. * Tickets valid from St Pancras International to Stratford...

Last time I travelled (about a month ago), there were up fast TSRs at Cricklewood South Jn and next to London Gateway (Scratchwood) Services. I presume the former is down to points renewal, and the latter might be down to water ingress again - any ideas when they will be sorted?

This Easter weekend, I believe the plan was to commission the bi-di signalling between City Thameslink and Loughborough Junction, as well as the bay platform/approach tracks at Blackfriars. Is this happening as planned? Would also like to know if the NR/LU ticket offices at Farringdon are...
