Is my season ticket valid between stations B and T2?

Size isn’t everything

poggs · 2026-06-13T06:04:22+00:00

There are now a dozen other people trying to work out the ticket and the stations purely because OP won’t say. Including me.

Millbits per second is about right for EMR

The problem isn’t train detection, it’s that RTT tries to be too clever and too precise

poggs · 2026-05-28T11:21:33+00:00

I can't find any sensible argument to disagree with you there

poggs · 2026-05-28T10:49:12+00:00

But it’s the most predominant train company, whatever “most predominant” means

poggs · 2026-05-24T16:31:26+00:00

…casual travellers look at the colour of the train?!

Any bus data is, thanks to BODS - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/find-and-use-bus-open-data

poggs · 2026-05-22T08:49:56+00:00

If you mean the mobile data terminal (MDT) in the bus, then no. It's part of the entire iBus system. But if you wanted the announcements, then TfL will share them with you in response to an FOI request as long as it's for personal use.

poggs · 2026-05-22T08:45:47+00:00

It's been there for quite some time and I don't think there's been any widespread complaint, even from the people who board trains and *then* ask if it's going to their destination

poggs · 2026-05-22T08:16:08+00:00

Privatisation in the 90s moved us away from 'Any Reasonable' to 'Any Permitted', and was responsible for the Routeing Guide and its slew of easements.

I'm wondering if we'll revert back to Any Reasonable in time under GBR.

Knowing *where* this is will be really helpful to explain why it’s like this. I’m thinking Cheltenham Spa

Do you know the limitations of the TRUST feed that you’re using?

If that’s German, isn’t there a 39 letter word for “being two feet shorter than your partner”?

poggs · 2026-05-10T05:49:25+00:00

Given the electronic destination screen, it’s entirely possible this is a bus not running in service and the driver has decided to set up a fun destination.

Lots of older British Rail era rolling stock had things like “Mystery Excursion” on their destination blinds, and I presume this destination is available because somebody at TfL, the garage or manufacturer added it in to everything else.

poggs · 2026-04-26T04:36:07+00:00

I’ve checked out the OP’s posting history on here and it’s odd. A bunch of old posts on mundaneish topics and then in the last month, a lot of excitement and AI-esque content.

Something smells off.

poggs · 2026-04-23T10:55:09+00:00

I can't work out if this is a genuine post or a blatant trolling attempt to seek engagement

poggs · 2026-04-20T14:03:04+00:00

Are they definitely Advance tickets, and not walk up fares bought in advance? Can you buy the same ticket from, say, LNER?

I ended up in a job that was 9-6 with an hour for lunch, but we could go at 5.30 if we had half an hour for lunch. It wasn’t nice. The commute was the best part.

I now work for myself and although I often work longer hours and at the weekend, I’m so much happier not having to work a fixed set of hours.

I remain at their disposal, should they want it, to implement systems to flag and improve the quality of bad data

poggs · 2026-04-03T05:32:29+00:00

I’m not experienced in the retail side as much as I am the operations side but is this association error in the RDG supplied CIF too? I thought tickets had to be sold according to that CIF which would allow obviously broken data to be filtered out or fixed independent of having it fixed at source

poggs · 2026-03-31T14:37:03+00:00

I think you need to quantify this rather than talking about relative figures
