I've seen a lot of people complain about the slow journey times on the West / East Coastways both on this forum and in person. What can be done to improve these services, or do you think they work fine just as they are?

I think the Horsham - Peterborough route is an unusual one (I can only comment south of London): - It is quicker to change at Three Bridges from Crawley / Horsham to get to the core - All the times I've travelled the service south of Redhill, it is virtually empty - seems a waste of a 12 car...

Wokingham? Reigate?

Can they not run 8 car services all day, and run the other set to Gatwick (like in the peaks) or Three Bridges / Horsham?

Three Bridges could potentially do with some more Victoria services (currently gets 2 per hour). Haywards Heath gets 6 per hour I believe as a comparison. I understand that it is meant to be the "express" service from Brighton, but the amount of empty seats I normally see south of Gatwick may...

As mentioned on other threads, more people are now realising about the cheaper Southern fares you can purchase between London and Gatwick, for the minimal time difference compared to the Gatwick Express. However, this is leading to many Southern services now becoming overcrowded with airport...

People need to start taking more responsibility and not expected to be spoon fed. Asking everyone to enter their railcard number each time they purchase a ticket, just because their railcard might have expired seems very over the top, however this makes more sense to help ensure that a person...

Why should people have to enter their railcard number every time they purchase a ticket, just because a minority of people are not organised enough to know when they need to renew their railcard. Surely a reminder email(s) that an indiviuals railcard is about to expire can be sent as a less...

Faygate, (https://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/ldbboard/dep/FGT) receives a half hourly service (during the strike day operating hours) in each direction on strike days, which represents a signficant increase in services compared to non strike days . One of the quirks of a strike day timetable...

A wage you think they deserve to be paid.

Like I say, what do you think is a "proper wage" for a RMT guard then?

You tell me, I thought that is why the unions are striking :lol:

Do you think RMT members are paid a "proper wage " then?

Not at all, just surprising people do not think 60-70k+ is a "proper wage"

"A proper wage" :lol:

Do you think train strikes are ethical? The following reasons may want to be considered: - People missing out on important events (e.g funerals) due to the often late notice of strikes - Strikes seeming to impact the working class disproportionately due the working class often being more...

An idea for a hourly direct service to Brighton for both Redhill & Horsham. See below for an example calling pattern (with the train joining / detatching at Three Bridges): Redhill - Earlswood - Horley - Gatwick Airport - Three Bridges Horsham - Littlehaven - Ifield - Crawley - Three Bridges...

? 1689087709 Is there? do they? Why should the people of Newport have to suffer with a reduced service? Again, I do not think this is necessary. Clearly there is a demand for the service from Cardiff to Newport.

I never mentioned I thought these items should be banned, they were purely listed as examples to stimulate discussion

What items do you think should not be permitted on trains which are currently. Some examples to start: - Alcohol (already banned on some TOC) - Luggage over a certain dimension - Ebikes / Bicycles in general
