    Are Connection Times Inclusive?

    However assuming the OP is correct is saying the Northern web site states 6 mins as the MCT then 13.05 plus 6 is 13.11 so a valid connection???

    SWR First Class - what is the point?

    SWR First Class - what is the point?

    I used to see this all the time between Waterloo and Winchester - basically the commuters trying it on - you'd see the faces getting caught everyone now and then and proclaiming their innocence "I didn't know etc"

    SWR First Class - what is the point?

    I'm not convinced it wasn't a goal as well :D I still prefer the 1st class on the 444 but mainly for things like less busy, quieter, etc.

    Southern On Track App (Android)

    Its spins for a while about 30-90 seconds but does eventually work for me (Android 10 / Galaxy S9) Try Commuter Train Check - so much more useful for this kind of thing
