    Greater Anglia 2019 - What could possibly go wrong?

    Sorry if off topic - can re-post elsewhere if so. We are thinking about moving to Billericay. What’s the train service like into Liverpool St from there? Good odds of getting a seat in the morning peak?

    Trivia: Which stations have numbered platforms which are unserved?

    The only Greater Anglia trains that call at any station other than Romford are the 05:37 at Seven Kings on the ML platform 1 and the 01:06 at Gidea Park but that uses the regular EL platform 4. So the answer to the OP is both ML platforms at all the other intermediate stations between Stratford...

    Crossrail opening delayed (opening date not yet known)

    Purple TfL roundels are appearing on platforms now (eg Chadwell Heath, Goodmayes), with plain rectangular name signs being put on the mainline platforms not used by the TfL services.

    Greater Anglia 2019 - What could possibly go wrong?

    Does anyone have any thoughts about whether Ingatestone or Hatfield Peverel stations are likely to get improved service levels in future, especially at peak times? HP in particular looks to have quite a poor peak morning service, with trains at 7:02, 7:33 and 7:48 and that’s sort of about it...

    PAYG TfL zone 6-1 question

    Excellent, thanks very much!

    PAYG TfL zone 6-1 question

    For a single (peak time) journey from Romford to Farringdon, what would the PAYG fare be? My understanding is that a single peak journey is £5.10 but the above route involves exiting barriers at Liverpool Street NR Station and then entering barriers at Liverpool Street LU Station to get the tube...

    Man stabbed on Guildford to London train near Horsley

    RTT states it was cancelled at Horsley due to "disorder".

    Greater Anglia 2019 - What could possibly go wrong?

    This where better and more detailed communication to passengers would help mitigate the fury seen this morning on GA's Twitter feed. Most comments alluded to the 11-day closure for maintenance only to have a track defect on the first morning back in action. But what was the maintenance being...

    An "also available at" question

    Thanks for that. Is there a website I can see all AAA options across the network?

    An "also available at" question

    Does anyone know whether it's possible to purchase an annual season ticket between Leigh-on-Sea and London Terminals, with an "also available at" Southend Victoria for alternative travel from SOV into London via Shenfield?

    Sudbury branch

    It does seem odd given there are quieter stations on the Anglia network that aren't request stops. Presumably there was a period of grace where the drivers would still stop if there was someone on the platform but didn't realise they have to "signal" to stop the train.

    Sudbury branch

    Chappel isn't a request stop at all.

    Sudbury branch

    Last December Bures station was made a request stop outside of weekday peak times and I found this a bit odd as it has higher passenger usage (62,000) than the only other intermediate station on the line, Chappel & Wakes Colne (37,000). Out of the two, I would have thought the quieter station is...

    Class 345 progress

    I think TfL Rail made a bit of a mistake when they rejigged the peak timetable. Historically, in the morning peak, Shenfield starters ran all stations to Ilford then Stratford and Liverpool Street, while Gidea Park starters ran all stations to Liverpool Street. Shenfield starters once they get...

    Class 345 progress

    Being only less than half a mile from Stratford it wouldn't be missed by the majority of users of the service if it did close.

    "Route also available at"

    So I could travel either from Emerson Park-Romford-Liverpool St or Emerson Park-Upminster-Fenchurch St, and between Romford-Upminster?

    "Route also available at"

    My season ticket that is valid "between London terminals and Gidea Park" has "Emerson Park" printed underneath the heading "Route also available at". I asked a member of staff what this meant and she did not know; does anyone here know?

    Class 345 progress

    Sitting on one right now, I can see at least two locations on the 345 where a coat hanger would work, and if you don't keep your wits about you on public transport then you're always at risk of being pickpocketed.

    Class 345 progress

    In the absence of luggage racks, you know what I'd like on the 345s? Just the odd coat hanger here and there. A small request but on a 50 minute journey it would be nice to be able to hang up your suit jacket or coat.

    Greater Anglia 2019 - Speculation and info

    Will Romford lose its fasts to London/Shenfield after the full launch of Crossrail?
