All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Uber credits

Had a £5 off my first train ticket booking promotion from Uber yesterday which I used. Booked a ticket for under that value and it needed me to authorise £0.00 before completion. Appreciate that's not using Uber credits, but seems like there is an issue if it wants the full amount.

Interestingly the illustrative image says "not valid for travel" - but is the image just the payment receipt and not the ticket? It will depend on the TOC▸ , so in the Blackfriar's case that is the ticket. I'd guess GWR▸ would have a similar format ticket to Blackfriars as they're still using STAR, but SWR» for example don't have that as a retail sundry and it needs to be done as a manual fare so would look more like a normal ticket.

Cancellations to services between Gatwick Airport and Reading
Due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Gatwick Airport and Reading trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 19:00 08/11.
Customer Advice Apologies to customers, some of our trains have broken down and we don't have enough trains in our GWR▸ fleet to operate a full service on the North Downs Line. Therefore some trains will be cancelled.
We obviously see the text in italic a fair bit, but I think that's the first time I've seen the part in bold. I reckon we could just use the bit in bold from now on as the part in italic is trotted out so much as to be implausible.

Used the recently refurbished toilets at Waterloo, that having only been open a few months are already looking shabby with half the cubicles locked ‘out of order’.
Apparently the ones in The Sidings (the shopping centre downstairs) are in good nick (probably don't see much use)... if you have enough time to get down there of course.

I was trying to think of reasons why and thought you could probably get away with fewer staff checking tickets and turnaround cleaners with the current scrum. Set swaps can be last minute without turfing everyone off (though of course that still happens). Can't think of anything else.
In Virgin days they used to text you the platform number before it appeared on the departure board if you'd booked through them.
