    Query on Southern S-Ticket

    I never even knew my ticket was valid legitimately to places like Balham, is there anywhere I can find a list of stations I can use some how?

    Query on Southern S-Ticket

    Thanks @Watershed - most helpful ad informative. Is there a thread about raising this to the TOCs attention resulting in the easement? Would make fascinating reading!

Tonight, out of mild curiosity as I was at Victoria I scanned it to get the train expecting it to decline and it worked and opened the barrier. For the avoidance of doubt and not wanting to fare evade I also touched my...

    Short faring issue - SWR Request for contact

    In essence, what they are saying is we suspect you of short faring but don’t quite have enough evidence of you doing so so we’d like to discuss the matter with you in a hope you’ll incriminate yourself and give us the information. It would be different if you had been caught at the station...

    Class 700s Being 'Refreshed"

    Saw 010 and 044 and 052 this morning and they’re bloody white and the diagonal line is now gone from the livery. It’s remarkable how filthy those not refreshed look.

    0412 ex Brighton

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    Was on the 0930 service from Kings Cross to Edinburgh to catch a flight (ironically) the Saturday before last. It was the lunch menu offering. I had the BBQ chicken croque which was very nice indeed. Shortly after leaving Morpeth a second service occurred and I had the Ploughman’s grazing box...
