    Overton disruption 28/01/25

    There were 4 of us in the taxi and one of them paid the fare and said she would claim it back. In my experience they usually do but it can take a couple of weeks.

    We left Basingstoke on time with no indication of any problem. Had I known would have got the bus. As it was we did get back from Winchester quickly.

    Overton disruption 28/01/25

    May have misunderstood this but the announcement was looking for a passing driver who knew the route from Basingstoke to Salisbury via Southampton.

    Overton disruption 28/01/25

    Interesting trip on 1L49 1620 Waterloo to Exeter today. All OK left Basingstoke on time then came to a stand at Worting Jn. Seemingly a points failure and guard asked if anyone on the train knew the route via Southampton. After a few minutes we were away but announced it was terminating at...

    SWR West of England line 24 to 28 April

    Issues with contaminated biofuel have been covered elsewhere but does anyone know what service SWR are running this week? Journey check says a 'revised service will operate until Friday 28th. I'm hoping there will be enough units to run something to Waterloo in the peaks

    Journey from Euston to Liverpool on Monday 20th February

    I am going from Euston to Liverpool on Monday and was wondering if the service on AWC has improved. I haven't seen much about cancellations recently s I'm hoping things are getting better.

    Woking - Basingstoke (near Hook) landslip (15/01/23)

    No the 0514 Yeovil is booked a 6 car so not a short form. The following 1L18 which terminated BSK was an 8 car. Hopefully after a few days sense will prevail and the longer formations will be on the Waterloo trains. I know it's been short notice but this morning showed that the Fleet and...

    Woking - Basingstoke (near Hook) landslip (15/01/23)

    At Farnborough this morning 2T14 0645 to Waterloo was cancelled so I think I am right saying that between 0612 and 0755 the only London train was 1L16 at 0709 which as I have said was 6 car.

    Woking - Basingstoke (near Hook) landslip (15/01/23)

    I was on 1L16 0514 Yeovil Jn - Waterloo this morning. It was a 6 car, Full and Standing from Basingstoke, made additional stops at Fleet and Farnborough. I think at Farnborough large numbers couldn't get on, this was a 0709 departure with the next one at 0755! I know it's a difficult situation...

    Woking - Basingstoke (near Hook) landslip (15/01/23)

    The delays were massive today so can understand the lack of through trains. Are the Salisbury line trains still going to Reading though?

    Woking - Basingstoke (near Hook) landslip (15/01/23)

    SLW was fairly common on the SW Main line until about 5 years ago but almost non existent now. Would be good if something could be sorted though, it's been terrible these last few months with strikes, covid timetables etc.
