    GN season ticket from Sandy to London Terminals - valid to Hertford North?

    With the transfer of certain Great Northern services from KX into the Thameslink Core from May onwards, has there been any discussion around how best to benefit from the additional destination options from a ticketing perspective?

    Great Northern - Class 321 vs Class 365

    I've recently started a daily commute from Sandy to Finsbury Park (then onwards to Moorgate). The train I would normally catch is the 7.02am from Sandy, which is the 6.32am from Peterborough. Is there any way of finding out which unit is allocated to that service each day? The realtimetrains...
