SWR have reduced to an hourly service from Ewell West since the new year for some reason, with plenty of cancellations , also now takes 55 mins to Waterloo with a 10 minute wait at Worcester Park... Anyone know if this will continue on the 6th? I’ve given up asking SWR as they can’t give...

I'm looking to go from Waterloo to Victoria not using the underground on a london waterloo - london victoria ticket. Would I be right in saying going via Clapham Junction is valid? Is there another faster route?

I'm now commuting into London Waterloo from North Sheen on a season ticket, and was wondering if i could break my journey on the long way around the kingston loop (e.g. at New Malden). My understanding is that providing I am travelling on a through train, on a valid route this is ok...

At Isleworth the platform is too short for the 8 coach 450s but not the older 455s or the slammers before them.

Would the london bridge - london victoria season @ £16.20 P/W be useful here?

The 3 new ones at Romford are a joke - they don't do Oyster (despite the station being in Zone 6) and they don't take Amex....Apart from that they are great

Hi, I'm going to doing this regularly from next month, was hoping for a cheaper point-to-point ticket option. I can only seem to find zone 2-6 Travelcards at £139.80 for this route, which seems high. I have little use for a Travelcard outside getting to work, so wondering if there is a...

? Probably the best thing you can do is to try to make friends / explain the rules the chap on the gate line in a sympathetic way, give him a copy of the relevant buts of the routing guide/nrcoc as well. I had a similar issue at Sydenham and the guy on the gate got to know me and would...

I used to use a London Bridge - London Victoria season ticket from Sydenham for 18 months or so. I wouldn't advise it unless you are clued up on the regs and are prepared to fight your corner. FYI It doesn't open any of the barriers except for the Londion Terminals (including Charing...

I can't stand the seats on the SWT and southern metro stock, they couldn't have designed a more uncomfortable seat if they tried. Guess it's vandal proof but does my back no favours

I've been doing this for a few years now on the London Bridge - Victoria route via Crystal Palace. Initially had a few questions from the gate guys at Forest Hill, I gave them a copy of 13(f) and they now they let me through no problem. I've contacted southern a few times (who set the price on...

I know there is work going on out of liverpool street to romford this friday, but wonder what is the best way to do this trip. I'd rather not go via southend if at all possible - are there any tubes or stations i could change at that are close/easy connections to romford? Would the...

Finally got a response from Southern...from this they even don't understand their own terms of contract. Thank you for your Emaiil. i have spoken to our ticketing Manager and he has confirmed to me that your ticket is not valid at Sydenham station. He has checked the National Routing...

Sorry to drag this up again, but I got this response from travel watch (after complaining to TFL) about this route/ticket and it not opening the gates. I'm no expert but it seems Southern/tfl dont understand their own conditions of carriage... or the penalty fares regulations... Dear...
