Midland Main Line on the whole is good but have to say that mobile coverage on the Berks and Hants between Cogload and Newbury is rubbish.

Yes. 1713980312 Already mentioned upthread.

It gets to 04.30, assumes you forgot to tap out so inserts an autofill tap out at 04.29 /04.30 at the station you get off. Then when you arrive and tap out at 04.50ish it accuses you of tapping out without tapping in and debits you a £50 penalty fare. Aint life grand. 1713977371 (autofill...

On Thamesljnk its sometimes difficult to work out whether its a strike/overtime ban or just the usual collapse for a variety of reasons

Agreed.

Even if the bug isn't fixable flagging any journey compelting between 04.30 and 07.00 with no touch in for internal review ought to be do-able. As should breifing the call centre staff that there is a problem so don't assume someone tapping out at that time with a journey shown as no tap in is...

Dosen't matter who wins the next election. Within a year or three the IMF will be dictating terms and we will lucky to escape widespread closures and real terms pay cuts for those who retain their jobs. In 2022-23 the interest on the UK national debt was £112 billion. That is more than defence...

In the work from home/flexible working era this occasional one day striking and overtime ban is a waste of time. The only thing that might work is an indefinite all out but ASLEF wont do that as they know it wouldn't be supported solidly for more than a few days. High speed broadband...

Correct. Having now driven in, much prefers this (at least in good weather) and the journey home is actually quicker (even with 20mph limits on the Finchley Road) than the all stations including Kentish Town overnight train. After a further lengthy phone call on Friday, got a reply today that...

Thats the one. 1713517563 Upshot is that said person drove into London last night for work instead and it went well. M1/A41 are a quick route at those times (and parking no issue then either). This could therefore be an expensive mistake by GTR.

Thanks

Posting on behalf of a relation. Relation leaving London at approx 3.30 AM on overnight train to Bedford and tapping in on Keycard. This train is all stations and (very) slow Keycard has started tapping them out, guessing (correctly) the tap out station about 20 minutes to an hour before...

What is the point of Clapham Junction. Its not even in Clapham and you couldn't even change and get a train to Clapham until the East London Line was extended there. (note: rhetorical question). 1712919594 Wormwood Scrubbs International

Think it was mostly sorted by then. Had been total chaos mid afternoon

At least you got on. At Milton Keynes this afternoon they kettled everyone on the concourse until too late and they missed their trains. Then closed the station and chucked everyone out on the grounds that the concourse was dangerously overcrowded. Ho Hum

I same here.my son isnhesding north so much less train choice. An hour ago a WM train runing 80mins late with all stations except stafford and crewe cancelled called which woupd have been ideal but everyone was kettled on the concourse. 1710699399 Train going north now hit a boulder

Latest witness report I have is that people are starting to lose it and shouting (which is what happens when people miss their trains north because they are not allowed through the barriers and have to wait potentially hours. Suggest you tell your daughter to look at realtime trains or national...

The scene at Milton Keynes is one of total Steaming incompetence. They kettled everyone on the concourse and refused to let people on the platforms due to the disruption with the result that trains are now leaving without passengers (services are running again) including near empty trains that...

On one level it is quite amusing, but the co ordinated nature of these "announcements" in several countries and the press actually taking it seriously is quite sinister. For two years those same military shills have been telling anyone willing to listen essentially that the Russian Army is...

I didn't think that HS2 ending in a position whereeffectively six tracks crash into Colwich Junction and Shugborough Tunnel would last very long. 2a to Crewe I suspect will happen in fairly short order. Anything Beyond Crewe remains to be seen. Apart from anything else Piccadilly needs...
