    Ticket Barrier Blues

    Just to add, it happened at three different stations on my journey yesterday, the first barrier literally seconds after collecting from machine. Just bog standard off peak returns. I think Low Levels idea seems possible, that the barriers are set to reject railcard discount tickets. I keep rail...

    Ticket Barrier Blues

    Can anybody tell me why when I put my tickets through a ticket barrier it pretty much always denies me entry and tells me to seek attention? I buy tickets online and collect from a ticket machine. I also have a railcard. It gets a bit infuriating, especially if the train is tight and staff are...

    Less than 50% of delay repay being claimed

    Last claim I put in for with GWR was rejected, I appealed and miraculously it was accepted. Makes you wonder if they reject many other claims to try and put people off appealing. Wouldn't put it passed them.

    Northern not holding train for late passengers

    Could have been a few passengers on the train with very tight connections at their next stop that will be very pleased the guard didn't wait. It's up to the passengers to make sure they get to their station on time. We all want trains to run to time, it's how things will run smoothly for passengers.

    Delay/Repay when last leg is a replacement bus

    Just wondering if you can still claim for delay repay when the last leg is a bus? Journey was from Tenby to Fratton via Swansea, Reading and Guildford. The Swansea to Reading train arrived 20 mins late, and because of this I missed my connection from Reading to Guildford and had to wait for the...

    Portsmouth Harbour-Cardiff Central GWR

    Does anybody know why it is such a lottery on this line as to how many carriages your train will have. Yesterday I was on the 1023 out of Portsmouth Harbour, a two car. After Southampton Central you could not move for people. Today I notice the 0923 and 1023 are both two car again. So why is...

    Train leaving early

    The national rail live departures for Fratton actually noted that it left ten mins early. That's what baffled me at the time. Still, to be expected when Southern are involved I suppose!

    Train leaving early

    Turned up at Fratton just now to catch the 1119 to London Victoria to find it departed ten minutes early! How can this be allowed to happen?

    Line speed Fratton to Hilsea

    Just curious, wondering if anybody in the know could say why trains heading between these stations seem to go quite slowly now. I think it's been a couple of months that this has been the case. Hilsea to Fratton seems ok though.

    Southampton to Waterloo on strike days.

    Has anybody travelled on a strike day on this line? Might have to go to London on Saturday so I am wondering how busy the trains are and if they are running pretty much to time. Cheers

    Train cancelled due to 'planning error'

    Yesterday, 1st Feb my 1311 Portsmouth Harbour to Victoria train on the wonderful Southern Railways was cancelled due to a 'planning error'. Just wondering what the heck that is supposed to be?

    Platform 1, Fratton station

    Is it just me or is platform one at Fratton always dodgy when it comes to health and safety. From around the newer bridge down to the staff area block it usually has numerous broken and uneven paving and today, with a bit of rain, deep puddles really close to the platform edge. Suprised Network...
