The top hat is just for special occasions :wink: As Ian indicates, having someone come down all the way from Eastleigh would take at least an hour or more, delaying a number of passengers for what is a 5 minute job.

Even if facts come out relating to more safety issues than are being let on its still absolutely disgusting that someone who put in so much time above the call of duty all the time and now has lost everything after 27 years. As this case is in the public interest I dont believe SWT should be...

I just hope all the facts will come out from SWT so that an informed descision can be made. For all his years of service and outstanding record, I dont think one incident is enough to end his career! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- If the truth was significantly different to...

He always striked me as the kind of person who would be part of a Union but who knows. I'm sure more details will be revealed over the coming weeks.

Hi, I'm thinking about being more green and using the bicycle more! I wondered how awkward it would be to carry a cycle on the train and wondered if people could advise.. I know there are cycle spaces on 444's but I wonder how many? Is it just one coach? Are there any cycle spaces on...

I think I remember reading a sign at Lymington Station that from a certain date people with Young Persons Cards will no longer have to wait untill 10am to make use of the discount and that you can now use the discount at any time? Is there any truth to this or have I read it wrong :? I...
