Correct Holmwood was shown on the original map but Ockley, Warnham and Horsham weren't despite being served by the same once an hour trains with no saturday evening or sunday service. Obviously they originally only looked at distance from London but have also now looked at service frequency and...

Having used the station for 26 years but much more regularly in the last two years I can say that travelling from Ockley to London Victoria is always accepted by train supervisors checking tickets and no doubt would be by revenue protection staff in the very rare and exceptional case of meeting...

My point was that the booked train length of the 2325 victoria to horsham has been 4 carriages since sept 5th 2023 rather than 5 carriages, 8 carriages or 10 carriages purely in order to suit a night time platform stabling arrangement ready for the first services the following day. But the...

Just to report that after months of often overcrowded conditions since the September 5th timetable changes on the 2325 from Victoria to Horsham via Dorking on especially Thursday and Friday due to only a 4 car train unit tonight we miraculously had a 5 carriage train restored to us. Also this...

Can anyone with knowledge of train timetabling or train pathing and train diagrams please explain to me why since the merger of Victoria to Horsham Semi Fast trains with Victoria to Epsom Slow services on Sept 5th 2022 an extra and seemingly totally unnecessary

I seem to be buying the rail tickets that the Uber Travel section of the Uber App will sell me and getting the 10 cashback on those and then buying the ones that Uber finds it too hard to work out to sell such as those to London Overground destinations the normal way from ticket machines or...

Just to report as an update that the bug in Uber Travel with Super Off Peak Returns from Ockley to London Victoria not being priced correctly and treated as two singles if the return train from Victoria arrived at Ockley after midnight (i.e. 2325 getting to Ockley at 0037) has now been fixed and...

No not on any commission from Uber at all and just keen to encourage other forum members to cut the cost of their rail travel by 10% while also hopefully applying pressure to the rail operators to offer the same discount for direct bookings with them via their own websites and/or smartcard...

I can't see using Key Go again unless Uber Travel stops offering me 10% cash back credit on my rail ticket purchases with them against future rail or taxi journeys or unless and until GTR decide to offer 10% off for using The Key to buy rail journeys given the huge savings they would be able to...

The journeys arriving after midnight being charged as two singles problem was also affecting ticket price listings for Uber Travel rail ticket bookings on Super Off Peak Returns from Ockley but I see they have fixed it lately following my complaint on the issue but have yet to fix the issue of...

Ultimately if Key Go could get me my rail fares as cheaply as the ones I can get with 10% off from Uber Travel (but I do have to pre buy my ticket before starting my journey or at least buy it on the way to the station) and didn't now have the threats of swingeing £50 penalties for forgetting to...

So in the example above my journey from Ockley to Holmwood had a break of more than 4 hours and 36 minutes at Holmwood and hence a further journey on to Dorking then back down to Ockley isn't covered it seems by the "best day fare" offer? Presumably the 4 hour 36 minute break of journey rule...

Oh yes it is stated to do just that very thing of automatically finding you the cheapest combination of tickets but that then fails at the first hurdle by not also letting you tap your single journeys with TfL on the Underground, Overground or London Buses and selling you a Travelcard on TfL if...

The video at www.southernrailway.com/tickets/the-key-smartcard/keygo seems more than a little vague on how Key Go actually calculates the "best fares available" and would seem to still be perfectly entitled to have charged my putative journeys from Ockley to Holmwood, then Holmwood to Dorking...

If that's how Key Go actually works then that's clearly much better than I had imagined. I would have assumed that given that after I tapped out at Holmwood I didn't then tap in again for over 6 hours that the journey when I tapped in again heading northwards would be treated as being a further...
