Today I boarded a SWR service from Cosham to Waterloo, and then heading to Newcastle.
The guard on board couldn't sell a direct Cosham to Newcastle Super Off Peak Single with FIR discount, and with +London as the route.
Usually they can sell it as TOD and collect at Waterloo, but the handheld...
It was a charter press service with invited guests. Plenty of videos on board from Social Media.
Also, pendant alert, it isn't a Votager (Cl.220/221) but a Meridian (Cl.222).
Poundstretcher have had some 50% off sales on everything in store when you spend £5 or more in recent times, however the items on the shelves doubled the night before the sale so was a bit of a con.
I concur with Dublin Connolly:
The station has a pharmacy on the main concourse which is used by some of the addicts in the city to collect their daily medication. The escalator down to the Luas platforms and exit (and lifts) are littered with beggars, and the bit by the Luas lift stinks of...
Does anyone know what the day return Hovertravel fare is between Southsea and Ryde with either a PRIV or FIP discount. Hovertravel's and RST websites say there is a discounted fare but I can't find it anywhere! Thanks.
Also the fuel protests in Ireland have pushed the prices up across the country. Two weeks ago the Wetherspoons hotel in Dublin was €69 for tonight, yesterday it was showing as €339
Isn't the unit they're talking about OUTSIDE of the main concourse on the street, like Sainsbury's is at Euston?
I'm sure it was a Burger King at one point pre-rebuild.
888 was the page number for subtitles on Ceefax and Teletext/Oracle.
The subtitles caption denotes that the programme carries them. Not all programmes used to.
There was also an old subtitles at the end of the programme that read something like "The next programme with Oracle subtitles is...
Is the ticket acceptance still in place between Carlisle and Lancaster for Northern on TPE/Avanti services or has this been reminded? I have a day rover for tomorrow, Super League, and was wondering if it can be used on TPE/AWC instead of going round the houses?
I have no idea. The staff at the stop were talking about it. Apparently a wheelset had come off. They had to remove the coping slabs on the side of the platform to rerail it.
Britannia have recently changed the name of some of their hotels to an "Elite Collections" sub-brand and these seem like they have been refurbished.
The Brighton hotel that had an fire (make of that what you will) and partly demolished, has Elite Hotels branding on the hoardings as it is being...
Apparently a tram derailed yesterday at Piccadilly on the city-bound platform. They've had to remove some of the platform edging to rerail it. Everything seems to be running fine today though
I was on the 1033 Kings Cross to Newcastle LNER service today and albeit it was a 5 car Azuma, it was relatively quiet all the way up in both standard and first. Kings Cross and the tube from Liverpool Street to KXSP was also pretty quiet, which for a bank holiday weekend was a bit of a...
I've a habit of demagnetising them or losing them.

If you try to enter a room with the lock on inside, it just flashes red. It can be overridden by the hotel staff though using a physical key. You can try it yourself. Open the door, put the lock on and then try using your keycard.
Just got back from a two night stay at the Southend Central Travelodge and they have really upgraded how they reset your key if you lose it. They asked for the email on the booking, home address, name and check out date before giving another one. Also the method of payment you used (card...
