    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Thanks Josh, All done and email sent. I managed to workaround the issue by returning back one page, re-doing my seat selection and proceeding normally. Happily the tickets are now booked correctly.

    Introducing RailUK Tickets - support the forum when booking your rail tickets!

    Hi all, There appears to be a reload error when proceeding to make the payment for some tickets I’m attempting to book. As soon as I try to input card details or select Apple Pay, the page reloads into an error state (see below), and I am unable to proceed with the purchase. Image showing...

    Greater Anglia Information Systems

    Surely that’s just an example of the PIS playing the percentages game. I used to commute on it and it was generally 50/50 odds it would be heavily disrupted!

    Signal berth codes?

    Ashford Intl P5 currently displaying ‘ROOM’. Any ideas? Perhaps something to do with the Eurostar disruption? Image showing Traksy map of Ashford Intl with platform 5’s signal berth showing as “ROOM”

    Is there any specific policy around vomiting on trains?

    Yes SouthEastern’s stated policy is that it’s compulsory on the 00:25 Victoria to Ashford “Vomit Comet” service. Preferably by Bromley South:

    Dealing with stranded passengers after a major incident.

    It wasn’t this incident but I was on the first train stuck behind the signalling fire just south of Stevenage back in April. We were very quickly informed what was happening and our options (taxi and claim, await replacement buses etc) - I and three other passengers took an Uber into London...

    Signal berth codes?

    Something awry at St Mary Cray this evening… Image showing a signal berth alighted with the word ‘FAIL’

    Signal berth codes?

    I noticed one earlier just east of Swanley with 1TRN as a code. Does anyone know what this is? Possibly a shunt (TuRNback)?

    Amusing Otford bus

    An interesting incident this evening involving a fallen tree at Otford being hit by a Thameslink service: It appears the damage to the stricken unit wasn’t as severe as expected and credit to SE for quickly arranging bus transportation while the line was closed. Unfortunately, the line was...

    OHL fire Langley Junction (ECML) 17-04-25

    I was actually on 1A41 and I have to say it was handled very well by all involved. We pulled up just before Stevenage alongside what looked like a Great Northern unit. Within 15 minutes we drew forward into Stevenage and not too long later we were informed it was terminal and that we could...

    Interesting platform choice at York

    I’m not too sure about that, I’m think it might be a website issue; the reason being that I like to have a nosey around Kent before my morning commute and there are a lot of odd paths down there too. Some of them it gets right every time (being on the correct side of the train at London Bridge...

    Interesting platform choice at York

    Very good point, well made! Thankyou for answering, that makes sense. Traksy was no help today either, I had a mini fright at Colton Junction when it showed the Leeds-bound track signals coming across our line then back toward Leeds while we barrelled on regardless.

    Interesting platform choice at York

    I’m back with another probably inane and easily answered question, as a layman, but I couldn’t find anything on it using search: I was on the delayed 16:48 GC service from Kings Cross (KGX) to York (YRK) and we did a somewhat odd move on arrival at YRK, crossing in to platform 3. At the same...

    Platform boards at Newcastle and NR app show 15 min delay but train actually only 1 min delayed: who is responsible?

    A similar thing happened to me at Swanley once, waiting for the 00:53 which, at 01:11, was still showing incredibly optimistically as “on time”. SE didn’t even respond to my claim for Delay Repay; as far as they were concerned it ran to time.

    LNER Apple Wallet issue

    … but only because I know categorically which train I booked and the timings. I have mentioned on various threads I have every sympathy with people who get fined based on misinformation; I very nearly became the victim of it myself today. I have to hot-foot back to London this afternoon so...

    Worth pursuing with Ombudsman?

    you do have to be very careful these days when booking these, I nearly had a similar issue the first time I was booked onto a GC service through the LNER app (simply as I was expecting the LNER app to sell me a ticket for an LNER train) and I had a panic at KX when my train appeared not to...

    A happy incident, for once

    Having read the various tales of woe and misery when a ticket was not presented, I’d like to share my story with a much happier ending. For some reason known only to the ticket office operative at Otford Station, I was charged £180.80 for a £20.80 OTF-Zone 1-6 day travelcard, which left me...

    Strange bot-like behaviour on TOC X/twitter feeds

    I run a hotel; we get a lot of these now to our email. Things like: "Hi, I have a reservation at your hotel, but for some reason it has the wrong dates, how can I change the dates of my reservation? Regards" "Unfortunately, I found myself in an unfortunate situation, me and my brother recently...
