They're also atrocious at providing any information during disruption, staff just vanish along with the trains. Although I didn't hang around long enough yesterday to hear any announcements, they typically let the platform display & PA rabbit on about cancellations. What passengers need is...

It seems I was on the only Victoria train this morning - another foray into GTR's super slow delay repay system beckons. They've given up on service for today so getting home is going to be a bit of a detour!

A quick re-skin of the ScotRail app should sort it !

and Car1, Car2...which is still showing on 701006

Just a short post to say thank you for the Quickfare feature. I've bookmarked the Quickfare URL for my regular ticket which means I can then purchase in TWO clicks! This is fantastic, since the Forum's site needs 7 or 8 clicks :-(. It makes a big difference when you're trying to buy the...

Does that mean that all Clapham Junction barriers open from 9am for a 60+ Oyster?

Perhaps train companies should up their game? They can do it - everything was shiny clean and hygienic during 2020's tickly cough.

Indeed it doesn't. Words like entrapment come to mind. Yes, being 6'5" tall helps here too! My non white, shorter other half had a much tougher time during the 2020 silliness, but ironically sent aggressors packing with scathing politeness I could never achieve!!

A cynic like me might wonder if, having found a contactless passenger, the RPI delayed dealing with them until after Witham in order to secure the penalty's validity?

Been away for a couple of weeks. Depressing to see Staines services consisting of just one 701 out of six services in a hour this morning. And the yellow line shouting at Clapham Junction is at ridiculous levels. Blood pressure restored to pre-holiday levels. I think I'll start an "everything...

I didn't get anything but perhaps freeloaders paying in Tesco points are in a different league?!

Set an alarm for a year's time ro remind you to renew, assuming it was a 1 year Railcard!!
