I believe the answer is no, but I can't find that officially in writing. The pinned post on the European Rail Staff Travel Facebook page says no, but of course that isn't official! I certainly would advise against attempting it.

The article is inaccurate, the 0227 from Guildford is the Rail Air coach, only shown as SWR in systems for data purposes.

There's an 0536 Woking to Surbiton.

Just in case you happen to be leaving then, both Victoria line escalators are set to run up between 0830 and 0930 Monday to Friday to ease congestion, leaving only the fixed staircase in the middle if heading down.

Card was accepted when I went in 2022.

Dates announced on Thursday morning, with warning that there would be a strike imminently a day or two before.

Journey planner issues aside, will be direct in both directions, with the Portsmouth portion attaching to a portion from Littlehampton at Worthing. Won't show correctly in most journey planners as requires a lot of manual input in timetable planning systems so often not done for engineering work...

Monday 8th is a bank holiday so a Saturday service should be in operation - from a data perspective this means cancelling the entire 'normal' Monday timetable and replacing it with new trains that match the Saturday timetable. What will have happened here is the Monday cancellations being...

I think the information on National Rail is incorrect - the engineering work has only been cancelled on the Saturday, not the Sunday. The SWR website is correct.

On Sundays, there is an hourly direct train to Victoria (08:19 - 10:18 as an example), but this is a slow stopping service. At Faversham, it is overtaken by a faster service from Ramsgate (arriving 09:48), and the timetable is set up to allow a cross platform interchange onto the faster service...

Yep, it's only the solicitor who needs to see the proofs of address. The completed partner declaration form signed by the solicitor is all RST need.

Three bills/statements each that show the same address (can be the same three if the bills have both names, or different). Once the solicitor has stamped/signed, scan a copy of the completed partner declaration form. On the RST website under forms there's one to add a spouse/partner, fill in...

The working departure of 9N64 is 13:11:30, and would ordinarily be a public departure of 13:11. In this instance, an offset has been applied to make the public-facing time earlier than the working (i.e. industry) time. Why? At a guess, the GWR runs later this half hour than it normally does...

The problem is from P17 towards Balham. Access to/from Kensington Olympia is fine.

It's been mentioned upthread but since you're searching for good news, in Bristol the Severn Beach line is going to half-hourly which I'm personally very pleased about.
