    Hook landslip ticket refund question

    Thanks for the guidance, I'm losing the will to live with VTT. After Sunday's call I had a nice message advising that I should fill in an online form and I'd get a full refund as no admin fee is payable. Today, I received a refund, minus the £10 fee. I've just called VTT again, who...

    I'm not sure which information I should rely upon for planning how to get home from Waterloo to Winchester on 9-Feb (football). The temporary timetable has the last train for Winchester at 2235, which I almost certainly won't make. Like another poster, whether pub, show or footy, the 2305 is...

    SWR - Further Timetable Reductions from 17/1

    Am I reading it correctly that on weekdays from 17-Jan the last train out of Waterloo for Winchester and Southampton will be the 2235? That stuffs nearly everyone going to football matches in the evening. Sat and Sun seem ok, thankfully.
