    Increasingly sad state of London Underground trains - graffiti and disrepair

    That’s correct. There is no adhesive. You sometimes get them put in very badly on some Tube trains and they fall out on to people’s heads

    Gatwick Express stock re-badged to Southern

    I’m currently in an alleged Gatwick Express train where four of the eight are Southern carriages (though the first class has Gatwick express antimacassars). The Gatwick Express OBS (who took over from Southern) at Gatwick, they made a comment about half the train being disguised as a Southern...

    Boundary Zone 6 to Brighton on Gatwick Express?

    I’ve been in a Gatwick Express and heard announcement about only certain tickets allowed, mention of paying extra fare and then seen people charged extra. Today though, no northbound trains calling at Battersea Park, so travel to Victoria and back is required and as per the Southern website...

    Service Reinstated

    I had a refusal recently from GTR. I was at Victoria and train due to delayed arrival was cancelled at calling the station I wanted when departing. There was another departing later. So I boarded that. It was refused as they claimed it had called at the station I needed, with a delay of 14...

    Wales Premier Dining

    I thought it was ok for the price. The soup was tasty but scorching hot. The lamb was great as was the apple pie. I enjoyed the Wrexham and a Glamorgan beer. The location of where this service is in the train makes it a bit of a thoroughfare. Explantation of what was complimentary was not too...

    Trip.com

    I’ve been using it recently. I had a 10% Amex rebate. Whilst it didn’t always add in splits as one booking and the adding in of seat reservations when not wanted, I have found it rather simple and easy to use. I have a digital railcard too and not had any failures there. There is also often...

    Wales Premier Dining

    I have to go to Wales soon, so I thought I would plan ahead and try the Welsh TFW premier dining (from Manchester). Having looked at their journey planner and identified trains shown as “dining cars” I then looked at their timetable booklet which didn’t include these! I have then contacted TFW...

    Could the manager of the controller not have taken over the work of controller not available? With the manager work being done by their manager or someone ?

    District and Circle Lines to Close at 10pm this Weekend

    Service status now says that Circle and Hammersmith & City lines will be closed. This is worse than was advertised

    Euston Gateline Query with Nominee Pass

    Was this at a gateline not usually used by Overground? As you say it’s valid on TfL railway services, but not National Rail. So a staff or staff nominee could use Avanti (with extension ticket) or London North Western from there to Watford, but you could not. There are some other stations...

    TfL Fare Evasion

    What sort of job has been applied for at TfL? Is it directly or a contractor I presume the name of the person at the address was known to them?
