Position currently advertised on the SE website - seems like a huge area. Any ideas what station groups they manage?

See below

A 4 to 5 day strike? Where did you hear that? Personally I can’t see anyone wanting that so soon after Christmas, what with paypackets and all.

Wonder if First will be forced to offload some of their bus depots. First West perhaps?

My bad, Medway Towns.

Wow this is going to be hugely unpopular for the Medway Valley lines. Some of the stations are having their journeys slowed down by 11 minutes to Victoria at peak!

Timetable is mainly out and very interesting - diverting some mainline trains via Wimbledon Park/Wandsworth Town. I'm sure TFL are very worried about that!

New logo is going to be maroon. Presume the uniform will follow.

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/commuter-fury-over-trains-ordered-to-skip-stations-to-avoid-being-late-a3193596.html Some fairly horrendous figures for Govia here, any idea what report the article refers to?

Alternatively the government are forced into a humiliating u-turn, extend the franchise until 2019 on a management contract and then re-let as two separate franchises with one going to LOROL?

Doubtful. Got their hands full with TSGN.

Hi folks, just wondering: A) If a Bromley South season ticket is valid from Bromley North B) If this ticket is valid at all South London terminals as well as St Pancras? (Presumably London Bridge - definitely, Waterloo East/Cannon Street/Victoria et. al - no?).

Just before Worcester Park. I suppose you could in theory install a bay on the south side at Motspur. Interesting to see if/how they widen the track at Raynes Park, plus I'm guessing the large gap between train and platform would be looked at.

Brainstorming ideas - would be a bit odd to terminate trains at Hampton Wick, there isn't enough space to build any bay platforms or turn back points. Teddington on thr other hand could be enhanced and has a much higher footfall which would inevitably be considered as part of the consultation.
