Got caught out twice today by RTT not reporting any trains cancelled, whereupon arriving at WGC and, later, Essex Road it turned out our trains were not running due to a shortage of train crew.
In the case of Essex Road, I went down to the platform before realising the WGC services were cancelled, and being a pretty awful place to wait for half an hour, decided to walk to Highbury & Islington (nice day to walk) and get the tube from there to MAYBE get a train at FPK from King's Cross (who knows if this would run either!).
Upon arrival at Highbury & Islington, getting seek assistance (WGC to London Terminals Super off peak return) prompted the gateline member of staff to say London Terminals tickets aren't valid and I'd have to go to Finsbury Park.
I assumed it was valid and said so, and he reluctantly let us through 'this time'. Now I wonder if that's the case, except I am pretty sure the only ticket you can get to any station from FPK to MOG is a London Terminals ticket?
Anyway, back to the information provision.. what went wrong today? It's as if RTT was just showing the timetabled information with no real time info.
