    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...

    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...

    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...

    Delay Repay on Non Strike Days

    As we all know there were strikes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday last week with major disruption on the following day. The advice from many TOCs, including Southern, was to only travel if absolutely necessary. I have an annual season ticket and for Tuesday and Thursday Southern have given...

    What Rolling Stock for Uckfield Line?

    According to posts in the East Midlands thread the ex Scotrail 170s now formed in to 171s are going to East Midlands in September and the remainder of the 171s are being converted to 3 car units. This will benefit the Marshlink as they will then get 3 car units. However it only leaves 8 or so...

    The latest from Southern about the 171s is in a response to the MP for Hasting and tweeted in a thread by Marshlink https://twitter.com/marshlinktrains/status/1331247830971936768?s=21 and the specific words are: Personally I expect Uckfield to be electrified with 3rd rail and Marshlink to be...

    Should there be more consistency regarding paying on board trains?

    Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/failed-to-pay-fare.211352/ The problem in my mind is that its not black and white. The OP says he travels once a fortnight or so and on previous trips he has seen other passengers buy a ticket on a train. He was late so he...

    Freight Train Unable to Enter Sidings

    South Eastern tweeted yesterday https://twitter.com/Se_Railway/status/992914074299183104 that trains were being held up as a freight train was unable to enter sidings and a member of staff was on the way to enable it to do so. So what member of staff would be required? Guessing it was some...

    Oxted Line Today 4/4/18

    This mornings rush hour on the East Grinstead and Uckfield lines were a total disaster this morning after a north bound Electrostar broke down just before Oxted tunnel. Rumour as it that it was caused by a shoe coming off and taking out the airline for the brakes. Southern managed to get all...

    Southerns Class 171s

    So does anyone know, and can actually say(!), what the problem is with the Southern 171 fleet? The platforms were lengthened in the summer last year to allow peak services to run as 10 car units, additional train sets were acquired from Scotrail and converted to 4 and 2 car 171s. In July 2017...

    Crowborough tickets valid at East Grinstead

    I have a feeling I have read somewhere a Crowborough ticket is valid to East Grinstead. Am I right? Does it apply to any ticket or only season tickets?

    Train companies such as GTR carrying out what appears to be entrapment

    Split from: GTR Prosecution advice please. The OP stated that he rushed in and boarded the train as it was there. I believe Huntingdon has barriers. If the rail company is so keen on people buying tickets then why arent the barriers closed so people have to buy tickets? The reality is the...

    Every now and again there is a lot of media attention about not the fact that it should no longer be a criminal record not to pay for a TV licence when you should have one.
