  2. The first #trains carrying the new Great #British #Railways (GBR) #Anglia branding have been unveiled at #London #Liverpool Street, marking a milestone in plans to create a more integrated railway across the East of #England. The new identity brings c2c, Greater Anglia and Network Rail Anglia under a single leadership team to improve reliability, resilience and customer service. Early benefits include approval for Greater Anglia Class 720 trains to run on the c2c network, joint planning for major events, and a trial of overnight Friday #Stansted Express services. More trains, station signage and customer information will gradually adopt the GBR Anglia branding over the coming months, while existing services, tickets and travel arrangements remain unchanged.

  3. #Cambridge South #railway station has been approved to open by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), with passenger services due to start on 28 June 2026.

    The station will provide direct access to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, a major centre for healthcare, research and life sciences. It is expected to offer up to nine trains an hour to Cambridge, with direct links to #London, #Birmingham, #Stansted #Airport and Gatwick Airport.

    ORR’s approval covers the station’s infrastructure, including four platforms, step-free access and passenger information systems. The regulator said the project met required standards for safety, #accessibility, reliability and environmental protection.

  4. Yesterday the railway station’s LED board welcomed us quite nicely. Problem was, we were not in #Stansted Mountfitchet but 321mi north-west up in #Scotland 🤣

  5. We're travelling to #Palermo next month from #Stansted. I've just read of the chaos at #Milan Linate, with people queueing over 4 hours to get through passport control (the new visa/Schengen rules).
    Does anyone have any up-to-date info on getting in and out of Palermo airport?
    How has it been in other European airports?
    If you can’t help directly, please boost for wider coverage.
    Thanks

  6. ⭕L'ancien Premier ministre #Gordon_Brown affirme avoir su que #Jeffrey_Epstein faisait transiter des jeunes filles entre le #Royaume-Uni et l'aéroport de #Stansted.

  7. From 14 December 2025, pay as you go (PAYG) with contactless cards and devices will be available at 30 more National Rail stations in South-East #England. However, the rollout at 20 additional stations, including #Stansted and #Southend airports on Greater Anglia services, has been delayed until summer 2026 after testing revealed system faults. The issues mean passengers at these key airport stations will continue to rely on traditional tickets for several months, highlighting challenges in integrating rail fares with #Transport for #London systems. Rail operators stress the delay is necessary to ensure reliability, but it underscores persistent technical hurdles in modernising ticketing.

  9. Contactless tap-in, tap-out ticketing will be extended to 50 more stations across south-east #England from 14 December 2025, including #London #Stansted and #Southend #airports. Backed by £18.7 million in government funding, the upgrade will allow passengers to use bank cards or devices instead of paper tickets, offering simpler, more flexible travel. The Department for Transport says the move will modernise rail ticketing ahead of the creation of Great #British #Railways, which aims to streamline fares nationwide. #Transport for London and train operators including Greater Anglia and South Western Railway have welcomed the rollout, saying it will improve convenience for millions of travellers, particularly the 6.7 million annual users of Stansted #Airport.

  10. Greater #Anglia has upgraded its station help points following customer feedback. The new system, featuring #AI #technology ‘IVY,’ now supports multiple #languages, including #English, #Spanish, #French, #German, #Dutch, and #Italian, and offers a clearer voice. Installed in 2023, IVY helps answer questions about train schedules and routes, with the option to connect to a human operator for more complex queries or emergencies. The improvements aim to enhance the customer experience, particularly for those travelling to and from #Stansted #Airport. Neil Atkin, Greater Anglia's Head of Customer Experience, emphasised the importance of customer feedback in shaping the upgrades.

  14. How many of the folk whining about this buy stuff online? It doesn't arrive here by magic (and surely if you live near to #EGSS you would expect to hear aircrafts at all hours, it goes with the territory?)

  15. Locals in #Essex have vandalised 8 cars they suspected were being parked in their village by holidaymakers at #EGSS #Stansted airport.
