@alexhornbyrail @northernassist @transportgovuk @RailDeliveryGrp @LordPeterHendy Personally, I use mobile tickets as much as is possible. No need to hunt for bits of card to show staff, no need to visit a machine to collect the bits of card. It's only been cross London journeys I've needed the bits of cards.

💥 Hot on the heels of reaching 80% of ticket sales being made digitally, we’re getting ready for the roll out of Contactless, Pay As You Go travel - all to kick down further barriers to rail, increasing convenience to customers. 👀 Read more 👉 gov.uk/government/new…

@simon_prickett @RailDepartures I always wanted to get hold of a Flip Dot display system from a bus...

@sah367 @RailDepartures Steve - you might like my project that repurposes an old bus destination flip dot sign. Sound up for full effect! x.com/simon_prickett…

How LED Technology Is Revolutionizing Departure Boards In an era where real-time information is crucial, efficient passenger communication has become a vital component of modern transportation hubs. Departure boards serve as a primary source of travel information, helping passengers navigate complex transit networks with ease. Over time, these boards have evolved from mechanical flip displays to sophisticated digital solutions. Among these, LED technology has emerged as the gold standard, offering unparalleled clarity, efficiency, and real-time adaptability. This guide delves into how LED technology is revolutionizing departure boards and transforming passenger communication. ukdepartureboards.co.uk/store/how-led-…

@megabusuk *Tyre

We are sorry to say that the 17:20 909 Edinburgh - Dunblane service has been cancelled this is due to the coach having a flat tire. #MegabusUpdates

@RailDepartures But will we be able to see it on our departure boards??!! lol

Looking forward to this! @JHolmesEsq bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@philstockley @fawleyafc @Romseytownfc1 And how did my home town get on? (Romsey... The best town ever!)

The flare from the nearby refinery, just visible above the trees, gives away the location of today’s #nonleague entertainment - my first visit to @fawleyafc where @Romseytownfc1 were the visitors. A great little ground, very welcoming, and a cracking end-to-end match. Brilliant!

@StagecoachSouth Why terminate at the Plaza? Bus station open and accessible...

#Romsey#Hursley#66 Due to remembrance services taking place today between 8.00 and 12.00 buses will divert via Poles Lane and terminate at the Plaza in Romsey. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Kasia

@Jezzatrainman But they kick and scream when you try! lol

You can take the boy away from the train..........

@RailDepartures Should just stay at GMT ??

@sah367 Freaking daylight saving times, nightmare lol

Is anyone seeing ERROR_REQUEST_LIMIT errors at the moment?

@RailDepartures The 2024 version of Y2k?!?! lol 😂📆🕑

Something went a little wrong when the clocks changed…. But looks like it resolved itself.

@_Railcards I know there isn't one for me. At 50ish yrs it's pay full fare or don't go!

@sah367 I can confirm that there's a 16-25 Railcard and a 26-30 Railcard. I recommend that you can go through the Railcard website: ' railcard.co.uk' regarding the above mentioned Railcards to check if it's suitable for you. Regards, Maria

@BBCSouthWeather @TorroUK What's that in Miles?

TORRO, the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation, have confirmed there was a weak tornado yesterday in Hartley Wintney in Hampshire, affecting trees only. As it stands the track of the tornado was 2.4km.@TorroUK

@tubemapper Great picture. Even the hand pole lines up between the carriages on the train in the background 😊🚉

Through Open Doors - Arnos Grove I love playing a symmetrical game where I catch passing trains through the open doors of stationary trains. As far as I know carriages only officially open to both sides at 5 stations. Arnos Grove Stratford Canary Wharf DLR Morden Barking

@alexhornbybus @BluestarHQ To be fair, Bluestar had more time to get ready to absorb the ex First routes compared to More taking over Yellow Bus services (although I expect there was a plan hudden in a drawer somewhere for both)

My first time at Bluestar’s new Empress Road depot in Southampton where the team have done an impressive job growing at short notice and moving house in quick order. For old times sake, we visited the old place at Eastleigh: now gutted and being turned into ‘hollow’ warehouses.

@tubemapper That makes me feel really old. I remember driving the 161 when it started going to North Greenwich Stn (started 7th August 1999). Used to pop down to the LU staff Canteen for a cuppa between trips!

Canary Wharf Jubilee line London Underground station was 25 yesterday. So here's a few photos of the futuristic looking station
