What happens regarding Hull Trains and Grand Central where passengers
are able to buy tickets on board?

I'm sure there was something on the GC website saying they would
continue to allow you to buy tickets on the train and if wishing to do
so you should simply tell the gateline staff and they will let you
through. How well this will work in practice remains to be seen.

Presumably the same as when you have a e-ticket. They had to let me
through at Cambridge and Leicester on Sunday. As I used the lift at
leicester I had to wait some time while a staff member ambled round to the
relevant gateline. I thought it was a requirement for gatelines to be
staffed or at least directly overlooked. At Leicester they seem to think a
help point is good enough.

They are also refusing point blank to replace the screen in the
tube subway and are proud to make every passenger walk through to
the Northern ticket hall to find out whether they need the suburban
or main sheds. Evil *******s.

I picked up an FCC leaflet at the Cross today headed "do you travel from
King's Cross". They must lurk in this newsgroup or something! The leaflet
announces (inter alia):

"You asked us to let you know earlier what platform your train is leaving
from so we have invested in system improvements to give you more notice.

From 21 March 2011, we'll be able to let you know sooner from which
platform your service departs. This upgrade means more than one service
can be advertised on the same platform so please check it is the right
train before you board."

On the back of the leaflet it says:

"From underground to overground - making your journey easier

Arriving at King's Cross by Underground? This summer, to let you know
which part of the station your train is leaving from - the main building
(platforms 0-8) or the suburban platforms (9-11) - new departure screens
will be installed in the new Underground ticket hall and at the bottom of
the stairs that lead up to the main concourse."

Hurrah!
