ISTR a number of Mk1 coaches had board games printed on the tables, although that was many years ago.

On Saturday all Hastings trains stop at Orpington when there are no Tunbridge Wells terminators.

There used to be a quite number of SE metro trains leaving Cannon Street in the morning peak that skipped London Bridge to minimise platform use and maximise capacity at Cannon Street. I can just find the 08:32 to Dartford now...

The over 60+ oyster application process appears to be completely suspended with no explanation of when it will be restarted or any alternative. No prizes for guessing who would qualify for one from next week.

Waterloo, in the Colonnades.

On a positive note , and I can't say I'm familiar with all of these candidates but of the ones I do know there is nothing to match the state that in the past eg Manchester Victoria pre rebuild, Wakefield Kirkgate or going a bit further back Broad Street got into.

Currently a 5 minute delay on the 0547 HGS seems sufficient to put 20 extra minutes on the following Tunbridge Wells starter, so I get that change.

Anecdotally from a friend who uses the service regularly, they still go via Lewisham most of the time, even though they don't stp there "And our simpler timetable is designed so that as more customers travel with us in future, it’s possible to add more trains, and takes other factors, such as...
