    Great Northern Fleet - 379s

    The 6.30ish from Uckfield to LBG and the 18.07 LBG to UCK are often standing room only between Hurst Green and London Bridge and if the train is short formed (as the 6.30ish) which it has been this week then people at Oxted do decide not to board it and wait for the next one. Obviously...

    Accused of reusing a open return ticket

    If you can demonstrate what tickets you have used and purchased then I would complain. Its more difficult if you cant prove what you bought to do the other legs

    Delay Repay Single ticket with annual season

    I know its not much! However its principle, if they are only going to compensate me on the basis of timetable of the day I'll claim every penny due, especially when it costs more to process!

    Delay Repay Single ticket with annual season

    A few weeks ago I travelled on a Thameslink train from Three Bridges to London Bridge. The train was over 15 minutes but not as much as 30 minutes late. I had bought a single Ticket from Three Bridges to East Croydon which cost £7.10. From East Croydon I was using my annual season ticket from...

    ORR Station Flow Images

    what the data won’t show is the complete journey for those who have a season ticket to say London Terminals, and therefore if travelling to Birmingham, Bristol etc buy an additional ticket from London to that city. There journey will show as 2 separate trips. it will also of course show some...

    Crowborough to Telford

    If you come in to the terminal platforms in the first place as I do you come down a short escalator that you have to come down anyway. So tap exit, and straight back in again as I did today to fix the delay in case delay repay applied.

    Crowborough to Telford

    I would use Oyster between London Bridge and St Pancras. Tapping in and out at London Bridge is easy, out one barrier back in the adjacent one. However if a 48 minute change time between London Bridge and St P is required I’ll catch the 6.44 from Crowborough. This morning the 7.14 was late due...

    Crowborough to Telford

    I am going from Crowborough to Telford tomorrow, booked on the 9.10 from Euston. When I booked the ticket I could catch the 7.14 from Crowborough, and for some reason change at East Croydon to Victoria, then Victoria line to Euston. I say for some reason as I would route myself via London...

    Reading To Elephant & Castle

    Ok so ultimately you can go Reading - Waterloo and then not do the Waterloo - Elephant bit? 1668025319 Can I delete the thread? :lol: Although going via Waterloo is not too much of a hardship

    Reading To Elephant & Castle

    It appears that for £283.20 you can get a flexi season ticket from Reading to Elephant & Castle, a siginfi saving on Reading to London Terminals. It states “Valid only for travel via (changing trains or passing through) London Terminals, but not valid on Underground services.” What does this...

    Southern class 171s being reformed into 3 coach sets.

    Do trainspotters that have already seen the fleet in its original configuration with the original numbers now have to see them all again in the new configuration?

    Southern class 171s being reformed into 3 coach sets.

    I asked the same question of Southern on Twitter. No response though. I would assume so. As South Eastern is getting g Freida of First Class altogether it would seem odd if a neighbouring line was increasing its proportion of First Class
