I mostly read this site on an iPhone. In the last few weeks the desktop version has been replaced by a mobile version. Unfortunately the mobile version is even harder to read than the desktop version. I still have to pinch and expand the screen or scroll towards the right. How can I change it...

Does anyone know why Southeastern is cancelling so many trains lately due to train failures and stock shortages? The company has never been great at maintaining Networkers - with connecting doors that only work by waving the magic eye, ripped seats, broken panels etc - but the current rate of...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for technical issues. In the last two weeks I've had problems posting while connected on my iPhone on the T-Mobile 3G network. I can sometimes log in ok but when I try to post a reply I'm asked to log in again. The log in is successful but then the log in...

Lots of delays, cancelations and problems on Southeastern tonight, with Twitter reports of people stuck on trains outside London Bridge. How many of the NR Thunderbird 57s for the southern region have been released and are they dragging Networkers and Electrostars tonight?

When I touched in my Oyster PAYG card at my local Southeastern station this morning my balance was in credit but low. The ticket machine was out of order and the ticket office doesn't issue PAYG. The clerk offered the lady in front a more expensive paper ticket but told me I "should" have enough...

Just seen a green slam-door set at Beckenham Junction *platform 4. Rail tour or commandeered by South Eastern to beat the snow?

IPC Media has sold The Railway Magazine to Lincolnshire-based Mortons Media Group, publisher of Rail Express. IPC, based on London's South Bank, has offloaded lots of its specialist magazines in recent months so the sale isn't a surprise. Mortons bought Rail Express in June, so having two rail...

I've been looking at travel options between Beckenham Junction (zone 4) and Syon Lane (also zone 4) weekdays at approximately 8am. The National Rail and TfL websites both suggest taking the Southern service to Clapham Jn (zone 2) changing for the SWT to Syon Lane (zone 4) The TfL site's...

I posted this in the Thameslink thread in Traction, but was directed over here. Do Freedom passes have to be touched in at Elephant and Castle? I want to take my grandmother on the Beckenham Jn to St Pancras service before 9.30am. The FP isn't valid at this time between Beckenham and Elephant...
