For the areas they overlap, sure, but Oval isn't planned to go to many of the places that keyGo covers. Not sure how Oval will help someone commuting from Worthing to Brighton, for example?

One time use only, for what it's worth. Virgin Trains Ticketing are also regularly doing cashback (I've got 8% single-use) through Monzo, and LNER (5% multi-use).

Or, perhaps, you can only use SWR within the validity of the map, which means Dorking to Epsom where you'd have to change to Southern. Worth contacting GTR for clarification.

Yep, standard at many stations these days. My understanding is that the main difference between New Street and many other locations where trains platform share is that New Street is fully signalled for this, with multiple signals on every platform to allow this sharing to take place without the...

I don't mean that the decisions are automatic, but that deeming a franchised TOC to be classified as central government will effectively be akin to nationalisation.

That implies that you can travel on another TOC to West Croydon, when GTR is the only TOC you can use keyGo on for that route! 1713917147 From the FAQs: Which one is it?! :p

Yes, December 2013. I've attached the spreadsheet which contains all bodies currently classified. Indeed, but if that is the case for TPE that would suggest that the revenue is not forecast to improve with a rise in passenger numbers, hence suggesting they may not be considered a public...

The ONS regularly review publicly owned organisations to classify institutional units within the UK to determine which funding and spending rules should apply to that organisation. LNER went through this process in August 2018, a few months after DfT OLR took over, in which they were found to...

Trainline (most likely the largest digital railcard retailer) does not enforce a number of maximum devices.

0429, in the case of keyGo. It's harder than you'd think, though. If a journey crosses the 0000 boundary, it needs to try to work out whether you're better off paying for it as part of the previous day or the next day, and that could differ based on your travel patterns on those days. I think...

You keep saying this, but that is quite literally already possible with digital railcards. And this is why they have photos.

Don't all digital railcards have photos...?

Also worth mentioning that with single TOC advances, the TOC gets all the revenue, but with changes and cross-London legs and whatever else, they have to share it with many other TOCs and would end up with a smaller share too. CrossCountry also seem to have some of the best savings from split...

You're perfectly fine to travel back any time between 26 Apr and 25 May with that ticket, as you've been told. I assume this is a quirk of how Grand Central do open return bookings and they may assign some fake return date for the purposes of fulfilling the tickets (perhaps they do something...

LO isn't running between Wandsworth Road and Clapham Junction that weekend, and it might be struggling with that. If you throw in Via Richmond, it'll give you itineraries using the North London Line to Stratford, then joining HS1 down to Ebbsfleet, plus a rail replacement to Gravesend.

I mean at the end of the day the same is possible to an extent with the two Railcard downloads (or unlimited on Trainline for whatever reason) anyway. My hair is certainly much longer than my passport photo but I feel like I'm still recognisable!

I don't personally see an issue with this. Google Wallet lets you only allow a pass to be downloaded on to one device at a given time through a generated token at the time you add the pass. I'm not sure about Apple Wallet though. People using Trainline can download their railcard onto an...

Google Wallet, at least, would allow for an animated hologram (it natively supports a rainbow hologram around the barcode, but obviously not the double arrows) as well as facilitate cardholder photos with limited effort. It'd even be able to hotlist railcards through remote updates, and that's...

Beautiful... *sigh*

Worldline provide the CIS across the NI Railways network. Very weird if you weren't expecting it!
