In the thread "First Memories of London Terminus" there have been a number of posting going a little off topic recalling trips made with Clubs or Societies. An interesting topic on its own perhaps deserves its own thread. I'll kick off with my junior school's club on a visit to Purley Signal Box...

Network Rail wants to demolish the Grade II listed signal box at Petersfield railway station. In a pre-planning application to South Downs National Park Authority the company says it wants to introduce new CCTV equipment and lighting as part of an automated signalling system which is being...

There may already be a thread so apologies, SWR are currently airing a TV advertising campaign, I expect in the Meridian area only, which features a train running "wrong line", it may go unnoticed by most viewing public. This is not the first time First Group adverts have shown this, in their...

I am aware that the AHB Crossings on the Portsmouth Direct at the following locations are slated for upgrading to Full Barriers. Liss Common, Princes Bridge, Sheet and Kingsfersden. In the last week theses and the full barriers at Liss and Petersfield have sprouted what look like cameras or...

Its all gone horribly wrong for SWT this morning https://www.journeycheck.southwesttrains.co.uk/ .

The danger of copy and paste unless they have just opened the Solent Tunnel:D

In the last 10 days I have travelled a few miles by rail and I am concerned at the condition of the permanent way in some areas compared with others. The offending stretches were on SWT network especially both up and down between Haslemere and Shalford Junction and in the up direction on the...

Ice is reported to be causing problems this morning 12/02/16 in SWT land. Problems on up Portsmouth Direct between Petersfield and Haslemere and between Aldershot Ascot and possibly at Ascot and Martins Heron; the Portsmouth Direct has an overnight engineering possession and from Realtime...

Notice a quick response on Journey Check to repeated problems between Petersfield & Liss with the 04:30 ex PMH up service. I guess it is a reaction to complaints unless they are getting their retaliation in first!. Something a few other TOCs might do, though from what I see here some would not...

Lots of emergency services, NR and police including unmarked cars in the vicinity of Princes Bridge AHB where Andlers Ash Road Liss crosses the line. Looks like the up18:18 ex Petersfield is involved. Be interesting to know the back story to this especially as, thankfully it seems no one hurt...

Apologies, doubtless this has been covered, by more threads than hot dinners but here goes. As one of those irritating necessities of the rail industry, one of the millions of “self-loading freight” (SLF), those who are ignorant of what makes railways works, I have had this thought for years...

Do any of the industry insiders know why, yesterday and today there are so many South West Trains ticket Office closures? Haslemere, Liphook, Liss, Petersfield, Rowlands Castle, Portsmouth Harbour and Fratton short staffed. At least four other stations have vending machine problems, just curious.

I'm interested to know what testing needs to shorten formations to “increase capacity” taken from SWT Live Train Info today, complete with confusing typo. Someone may know? Message Received :14/11/2012 14:53 “From the 13 November to 30 November we will be undertaking a programme of testing...
