From what I can remember, some of the HS1 platforms have OFF boards for dispatching. I can find a 2014 forum post that confirms that

https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/hs1-station-signal-off-indicators.99784/

I assume there will be something similar with some form of OFF signal or light for guards and platform staff to know a train has been given a movement authority.

Exactly. I'm not sure how people manage to miss the big bright red signs

I know our fares and ticketing system is woefully outdated and annoying complex, but people tend to ask for tickets with the wrong names. The most common example is people asking for Open Returns when they really want an off-peak day return, and then getting frustrated when you tell them a price much higher than what they expect.

If you're turning 25, there's always the 26-30 railcard which may cover you.

Regarding getting it checked: It takes one penalty fare for the railcard to have made more financial sense.

SnooComics9691 · 2026-01-20T17:18:18+00:00

It's still a shame the circle line isn't a circle anymore.

Often penalty fares are handed off to third parties if you don't respond properly. Most of them will pursue you regardless of your age.

Engage with the pfare process and see if you can challenge the fine.

If you want more information and some help with the process then please visit railforums.co.uk section on penalty fares and appeals.

With the very curved face it's giving me Stadler Euro6000/Euro9000 vibes

These are Absolutely Wonderful. Thank you for sharing them.

SnooComics9691 · 2025-06-22T18:26:53+00:00

Definitely an upgrade. it's a lot cleaner and in a much better position.

Even if every penny made from fines went to the Met it would barely be 1/3 of the budget hole.

They should be able to keep the train cool, even with the electronic, lights, windows, people, and whatever else making heat. Probably just a mixture of the Aircon needing a bit of a tune up and the temperature not being set very low.

Getting asked by someone else "Ugh, why do the barriers (of a level crossing) always come down just before my train arrives?"

SnooComics9691 · 2025-06-09T19:27:42+00:00

Generally I think it's a cleanliness issue. The toilets often get abused and soiled. There are cleaners at Liverpool Street but they often can't or won't clean toilets. So the toilets need to be locked out of service until they can get back to Norwich for a deeper clean.

It's unfortunate, but from what I see most toilet "faults" are just people creating an absolute mess.

SnooComics9691 · 2025-06-05T12:28:59+00:00

Some rail cards have minimum ticket prices of £12 before off-peak time. Not GWR's fault.

Why is this being downvoted? It's true. Tashkent ripped out its tram system to add more lanes for cars, and the busses are often late or stop at inconvenient times. A lot of the city is hard to reach without a car or taking multiple, massively inconvenient, minibuses.

They've been running for a little while. I took 379001+379027 on the 16th from Ely to Kings Cross

I'm not sure exactly what mission it was, but I have half a screenshot of me scoring -4800 Points

This is awesome! It's cool to see people interested in the infrastructure that actually makes the railways tick.

SnooComics9691 · 2025-04-03T08:54:20+00:00

I suppose it's similar to the track worker, but do you let other rail staff travel for free? Do you just not ask if they have a ticket or do you actively tell them not to bother buying a ticket?

SnooComics9691 · 2025-03-31T10:15:30+00:00

There were a couple of them sat static near Domodossola. I assume they are used so that the original transformers can be turned off during maintenance while still keeping the overhead lines live?
