    A Travelcard that isn't a Travelcard...

    I wasn't sure whether this belonged in this forum or the other fares forum, so feel free to move it if necessary. I purchased 2 Adult and 2 Child O-P Day Travelcards on the Southern website with FAM discount. I collected these from a TVM at Chichester station. The Adult tickets came out as...

    Southern Annual Season Ticket Renewals-iTunes voucher

    I made a thread like this some time ago, except there is one difference. I was today sent a leaflet by Southern advising me of how to renew my annual season ticket online, and how I would get a free £25 iTunes voucher. The trouble is, I need a new photocard as my current one expires in...

    This game is about navigating around the rail network building up a long chain of stations, whilst stopping other players from reaching the end of any lines. How to play A 'leg' starts when the winner of the previous leg posts a station. (This shouldn't be the station that ended the previous...

    On reservetion labels I have seen a notice which states a £50 fine for "Unauthorised occupation of this seat". I was wondering what it actually means, and whether anyone has actually seen someone (or been themselves) fined?

    Sugar Loaf

    Sugar Loaf is a game I have been creating in my head for the past few weeks, but have only recently been able to write it down.

    Chichester CCH-Three Bridges TBD-Brighton BTN-Littlehampton LIT-Chichester CCH Ticket

    Pretty much says it in the title really. I wish to take the above route only as a walk-up though, and was wondering if a CCH to TBD Off Peak Day Return would cover this. Also, are there any splits that would decrease the overall price? Thanks!

    Closing (and locking) First Class

    On my travels today, I saw a guard enter the FC compartment (this was a Southern 377) and turf someone out, obviously with an STD ticket. But then he switched the automatic internal door system off, shut the doors manually, and locked them with his key. This seemed to be to stop the...
