Once this is over I hope someone or some people do research into how the different companies coped to see why some fair better than others.
Some of this might be due to who went on strike but equally it might also be down to how many people are employed.
I will be getting a lift next week as no trains to Guildford for 5 days.
When you look up Thursday for Haywards Heath to Guildford, it gives you a 5 hour route on the Friday via slough. Actually some more timetables have been added so it is 4 hours via Woking.
When you try to buy a ticket, National Rail Enquiries attempts to send you to SWR but they just error.
HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.
Most likely causes:
- The request sent to the Web server used an HTTP verb that is not allowed by the module configured to handle the request.
- A request was sent to the server that contained an invalid HTTP verb.
- The request is for static content and contains an HTTP verb other than GET or HEAD.
- A request was sent to a virtual directory using the HTTP verb POST and the default document is a static file that does not support HTTP verbs other than GET or HEAD.
Things you can try:
- Verify the list of verbs enabled for the module handler this request was sent to, and ensure that this verb should be allowed for the Web site.
- Check the IIS log file to see which verb is not allowed for the request.
- Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

I shall be putting in a delay relay claim because I missed my train to Garwucj Airport due to the back entrance being closed without any warning.
I checked online and it said trains via Epsom were not running due to a member of the train crew not being available but nothing about Guildford railway station's back entrance being closed. I was on the live Guildford departure board as can be seen in the below image. I can't show the train from 12 as the app crashes when I go back in time. I'm lucky it didn't crash full stop.
I asked a member of staff and it is due to the fact they don't want people buying train tickets for services that didn't exist.
As I pointed out people can do that from the ticket machines at the front of the station. The argument was that people pass through the barrier and there are screens. So I pointed out there are screens at the back and if there is no train people would go to the gate line ad the front.
To which I was told they needed to monitor the numbers. They did admit along the lines of there are different possibilities as to what people would do.
Anyway, they were very polite, as was I and I did say it was t their fault. They were going to raise it with control and did say sometimes it takes a while for the messages to get through. I said but they put up the trains being cancelled and this entrance being closed wasn't mentioned last time either.
I had allowed enough time to get the train if I want via the back entrance but not if I needed to go via the front entrance. Had I known, I would have gotten on quicker with what I was doing.
I already had my train ticket so I just needed to board the train. Now I will be an hour late as the stopping train isn't until 12:28 and it gets in as a train to Garsicj Airport departs, as the connections are poor at Redhill. There is a 13:32 but that departs 4 minutes before the 13:36, which is the 13:00 departure from Guildford.
One final point. On a legal note, I don't know if they are allowed to close the walling route like this as it is denying people their right to pass from one side to the other.
They had to get a court order to divert the walking route across the footbridge overnight. I'm not saying I'll be taking them to court over it but it is a point worth mentioning here all the same.
