Article from The Guardian (published Weds 6 March): The first full closure is across the weekend of Friday 15th March at 9pm to Monday 18th March at 6am. The National Highways press release (dated 5 March) is here. The National Highways page for the M25 J10 project has more info including...

The online application forms for any of the Railcards on the 'official' National Rail branded Railcard website (operated by ATOC Ltd / RDG) all feature the teasing inclusion of a field for a promotional code... any time such a thing exists for any online transaction, it inevitably makes me...

TfL press release (dated 6 Feb) - Vital renewal work will mean part closure of Piccadilly line this month Selected extracts: Even though there's the obvious and understandable push to direct passengers to the Elizabeth line, there will still be 'express' non-stop replacement buses between...

As per this post on the 'hotukdeals' website, Trip.com have a special offer (expiring tonight - 16 July) of £18.60 for a one year Railcard. It is a Digital Railcard, and has to be shown via the Trip.com mobile app (in the same way as a Railcard bought through the Trainline or from TrainPal)...

Just wondering if anyone might have any insight into what SWR's Weymouth-Waterloo service will look like on Sunday 16 April, and when (or indeed if) Advance tickets will become available? The SWR booking engine currently flags up journeys on that day with this message: (For what it's worth...

In some (though not all) years past, Southeastern have run a limited service on Boxing Day between Ashford and London, calling at Ebbsfleet and Stratford (i.e. essentially all on HS1 infrastructure). Does anyone have any insight into whether that might happen again this year? Also, what other...

OK so I'm looking at a journey on SWR on Sunday 11 Sept. There are engineering works 'in the Woking area' over the weekend - between Woking and Basingstoke on Saturday, and between Weybridge and Basingstoke on Sunday, closing all lines. NRE Future engineering work page (for SWR on 11/9/22)...

Hi. There's someone I know who often gets in a right tizzy about buying train tickets. Often I think it's a case of making a mountain out of a molehill, but the world has many people like that! eTickets have become available on many of the journeys they make, and I think they'd benefit. (Most...

Looking back at this thread from last year ('RTV and TfL Rail') - posts made between mid-March and end of June 2021 - it does very much seem like the opportunity to use RTVs as a way of adding credit to Oyster cards is very much a thing of the past. I just wanted to check that was definitely...

I've not kept track of this, but there used to be a very limited - once a day (essentially 'parliamentary') - Southeastern service at Wandsworth Road. Looking at RTT I can't see any SE services that now call at Wandsworth Road. I forget whether these services existed to prevent the need for a...

(In this thread when referring of "inboundary Travelcards" I mean those that cover the 'traditional' zones of 1-6 - and am leaving the 'nouveau' zones of 7-9 aside, because in NR ticketing terms they're a slightly different beast.) Just doing some planning and I've only just really appreciated...

What's the current situation regarding Stratford (Regional) station and its peak time one-way system - i.e. how and when does it operate?

Guardian article - UK government backs scheme for motorway cables to power lorries Excerpt: OHL engineers could find themselves in high demand. Maybe. Before anyone gets too excited (or indeed aggravated) it's worth noting that this funding just covers the design of this trial scheme, and...

Could anyone offer any illumination on the car parking situation at Winchester station, as I'm not familiar with it. I've looked at the information on the NRE and SWR sites (which don't exactly match of course!), but more broadly I'm aware there are two car parks - one on the west side of the...

SWR are introducing new "Semi Flex Return" fares where the outward journey is only valid on the booked train(s), and the return journey is valid during Super Off-Peak times. It seems they are only available for journeys either to or from London Waterloo. I think they might only be available for...

I've just come across this website... smartticketing.nationalrail.co.uk It looks like RDG and the rail industry's push towards smart ticketing is moving up a notch. eTickets in particular hold significant promise, I just hope the industry doesn't make a hash of it (e.g. failing to honour break...

NRE's Christmas and New Year 2019/20 Travel Summary is now available, albeit incomplete. London Overground's entry for 26 December says this... LO running a Boxing Day service will be popular, and has been long sought after! For whatever reason, presumably engineering works, the North...

On the Network Rail Kent Route upgrade plan webpage, under Major projects in delivery (towards the bottom of the page) there is this... Southeastern's published information on planned engineering works doesn't yet extend to late December, but it does include the weekend of 24/25 November 23/24...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-49739226 This is the travelater that links the newer Jubilee line platforms to the older Northern and Bakerloo lines complex.

I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is no, but I'm curious to have it confirmed... For Advance '& connections' tickets, are unreservable connecting legs ever specified in any way on the tickets/ coupons as is the case for the train(s) on the reservable leg(s) (i.e. where travel on the...
