    Stations that have e-ticket enabled but without barcode scanner at gateline

    Not been there recently, but that was the case at Moorgate. Gateline is run by TfL, but also used by passengers on Great Northern trains, with London Terminals e-tickets. Think it is similar at Old Street and Highbury and Islington on that route.

    Validity of 'London Thameslink' tickets

    For some journeys London Thameslink fares are the same as those to London Terminals, but on other routes a supplement is charged. Harmonisation would mean less revenue / increased fares or mixture of both.

    When do overnight possessions/engineering work get confirmed?

    This page on NRE is useful https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/254145.aspx Engineering pages might be correct longer ahead, but it currently states for Thameslink, that journey planners are up to date until (NB final comment):

    Oyster PAYG touch in/out on validator

    They should work for the Key as well - if it doesn't this should be flagged with Great Northern / Thameslink 1652986539 There is a current Network Rail-led project preparing to update much of the signage around the "rail" areas of Finsbury Park station.

    Is getting a second Oyster card a possibility?

    eTickets - you have to print for use at Moorgate??

    Believe it can only be done with paper tickets, even in the event of disruption, so with ticket acceptance on tube (ie not e-tickets and not tickets on the Key - unless that ticket is a travel card).

    Thameslink services that stop at New Barnet and New Southgate

    Pre-COVID TL were running M-F peak semi-fast services between Welwyn Garden City and Kings Cross. The plan has been that they should run through St Pancras instead and link up with services south of the river to become WGC - Sevenoaks service. Believe driver training is continuing for that and...

    I've noticed that Southeastern are doing quite a lot of advertising, promoting an increase in availability of Advance tickets - see https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/tickets/tickets-explained/advance-tickets which starts:

    Ticket purchasing if disabled through brain injury.

    I suspect any changes are a while off yet, as I believe there has to be a consultation prior to any closures - nothing showing yet on https://www.transportfocus.org.uk. [if this is wrong, please could someone more knowledgable correct me]. Also there should still be staff available to help...

    Will the Thameslink Welwyn Garden City to Kings Cross Peak-time only service ever return

    The revised timetable from 21/2 shows 4tph in the peaks WGC to/from Moorgate. Hopefully the driver training will lead to the introduction of the peak WGC - Sevenoaks service in May, but it'll presumably need DfT / HM Treasury approval.

    Biggleswade to Canary Wharf…I can see the ticket but just can’t buy it.

    The NRE itinerary looks worrying, as it includes Northern Line to Bank, which currently isn't possible! Also think you would need a paper ticket, as TfL doesn't accept e-Tickets or tickets on The Key etc (apart from Travelcards) If switching to payg Oyster yes. There are readers in the...
