Transport
for
London

has
begun
accepting
applications
for
18+
Oyster
photocards
and
several
other
cards,
as
it
continues
to
restore
computer
systems
following
the
cyber
attack
just
over
two
months
ago.
Up
to
5000
accounts
were
thought
to
have
been
affected
in
the
attack
on
1
September.
TfL
said
it
had
‘worked’
closely
with
the
National
Crime
Agency
and
the
National
Cyber
Security
Centre
and
notified
the
Information
Commissioner’s
Office.

The
Lymington
branch

reopened
today,
after
a
possession
lasting
seven
days
in
which
1500m
of
track
was
replaced.
The
rails
have
been
treated
by
a
road-rail
Land
Rover,
known
as
a
Sand
Rover,
which
applied
a
sticky
sand-like
gel
to
help
with
adhesion.
The
rails
have
also
been
coated
to
reduce
corrosion,
which
is
a
risk
in
the
maritime
atmosphere.
There
will
be
a
second
possession
betweeh
21
December
and
6
January,
so
that
the
viaduct
over
the
Lymington
River
can
be
improved.

The
East
Coast
Main
Line
will
be
closed
between
Welwyn
Garden
City
and
Hitchin
on
30
November
and
1
December
so
that
further
ERTMS
testing
can
be
carried
out.
LNER
services
will
start
or
terminate
at
St
Neots
or
Peterborough.
Rail
replacement
coaches
will
run
between
St
Neots
and
Bedford,
where
passengers
can
join
Thameslink
or
EMR
trains
to
London.
Hull
Trains
will
run
two
services,
which
will
be
diverted
to
London
St
Pancras.
Lumo
will
terminate
at
Peterborough,
and
provide
a
non-stop
coach
from
there
to
London
King’s
Cross.
There
will
be
no
Grand
Central
services.
