Cheers, that makes sense. I couldn't work it out from the Thameslink site. Thank you.

Hi all, I am buying 2 tickets for a rail journey to London on Saturday from Biggleswade train station. I am buying a travelcard as I will be using the underground and DLR. I get offered Super Off Peak for £42.40 and the same ticket type again for £58.40. Both standard class. I just can't see...

Same journey different price

Is that what was being filmed at Victoria station last year?

Thank you for that, very informative.

As you can see if you read the post he had his pass, it was out of date, he also had his military pass. Why do you call him ignorant?

It is how it is pointed out that matters. I agree with the OP. But I also think he should get legal advice and not listen to all the unqualified lawyers on this thread.

Hi mate, Look, as you can see there are lots of opinions on here, and a lot of confusion. As your Son will not plead guilty he needs to get legal advice. This site is for railway enthusiasts and you need a lawyer. I always find the Citizens Advice a good place to get impartial advice and have...

Not a case of trying to scare, more a case of helping to prepare. I work in the Banking industry and to be honest the hours stopped being 9-5 a long time ago. But it isn't anything to be scared of. The long hours lead to bigger reward, and I would not have been able to buy my house otherwise...

I heard it was running down to kings Cross tomorrow to get ready for the trip on Thursday. They said it is expected in Biggleswade at about 15:10 tomorrow.

A good job is hard to find. And if you grew up in an area you don't want to move too far away from it. You would lose contact with family and friends. I am a member of the "just under 50 miles away from work" club and made the choice as I was priced out of London. But I did not want to move too...

As a Great Northern user I am disappointed with the cancellations due to lack of train crew. They are not running any additional services that would mean they need more drivers, so I can only assume they are losing drivers due to lack of esprit de corp, or cuts in benefits. But I also find the...

And the 17:13 from KGX to PBO was cancelled tonight because?......answers on a postcard

I worked in the City, we were not "office workers" in the typical 9-5 sense, and the hours expected (not contracted) were around 10- 14 hours a day. It is why I quit. Might be different nowadays, and I suppose it could depend on the role you are doing in the City, but most of my old work...

9-5 Hours, sounds cushy. Especially in the City. Personally I would do a short term let, maybe rent a room at first. That way you can get used to London, used to the area, find out where your colleagues at work live and recommend. London is unique, due to it's size and grandeur. 8.6...
