I guess they would be able to go wherever Networkers go seeing as the Javelins have to fit in the same gauge along the North Kent Line. Ah, didn't know that, be good to grab a picture if I was lucky sometime passing through. What I would really like to see is a 465 going into the Ebbsfleet...

Sorry to bump thread, but travelled to Dartford last night, and in the Gravesend-bound platform (can't remember if it's p1 or p4) was a 465 to Faversham not advertised on the boards, couldn't check the website but can only assume this was a replacement for a St. Pancras - Faversham. Nothing to...

Spotted on Southeastern website: Now my head forces me to assume that it was replaced by a Networker (would a Javelin even fit/be permitted?), but anyone around know any more to help me sleep tonight? :)

Cheers, will keep my ears open, I'm sure they are good, but they are only 4 minutes faster at a £4.50 premium, hence why I'm hanging back to when disruption means non-HS1 tickets are valid.

Do you think they'll remove the premiums for this like they did during the snow?, still haven't tried the High Speed because of the extra price.

Class 466s work the Sheerness Branch now, may be a 508 occasionally for some reason, but mostly Networkers, there are definitely no direct trains to London, although some early and late trains run through to Gillingham on the way to or from depot. AFAIK only Networkers for a while now on Bromley...

Doubt there'd be much call for it :( I myself am only a bursar on attachment atm, and other than the Sappers that play with trains there seems little interest in them. As for the railcard, I still use my old YP whilst it's valid, as you get less aggro from ticket offices.

Cheers, wish I'd known that a few years ago. Quality ;)

So basically, if I'm going into/through London, I can use a Cheap Day Return (Or whatever it is called nowadays) as long as arrive at 10am or later?

Just a quick question as to the off-peak rules, I know Off-Peak is after 10am on weekdays, but do you buy your ticket depending if the train is departing or arriving after 10am? Just a bit confused because I got a 0930 train the other day and the gates at Charing Cross let me in at 1015. Suggs

Definitely needs this. Even under the current services the platforms are bursting.

Madness - Day on the Town

Are the slam-doors events only, or do one or two go out during normal running days?

I'm well miffed that I missed this. Was free on Sunday but loads of hassle getting out. Engineering works between Rochester and Rainham were the final nail in the coffin. Whens the next time the Slam-Doors are getting out and about?

I dont know what this 'RailUGay' is, and I don't think I want to :). Was about 11 at the time and well fancied her, dont remember if I actually liked the music... :? As for Simply Red, they aint that bad, but when you're dragged off to see them live and youre not really into them, then its a...
