In the light of the announcement regarding the seats on Thameslink trains can we expect a similar "blowing our own trumpet" announcement from the minister following the imminent transfer of Chiltern to public ownership? No doubt they will flag up the new blue sets and refurbs to the Class 168...

My first trip on a 701 this morning on the 11.09 Reading to Waterloo.Very nice but shame on a 10 car unit there were no working toilets.Full marks to the driver who was in his cab 15 mins before departure giving this information and providing a step by step instruction on how to get to the...

We really need to know how this was resolved to prove the armchair warriors from either side of the argument right or wrong and move on.

You can bet your life that Heidi Alexander and the nascent GBR will not be rushing to comment on this.

Fond memories of Wokingham box when I lived in the area.RIP ( in this case rest in preservation ).

I am no simpleton but I found this survey one of the most poorly designed I have seen in a long time. I gave up in the end-life is too short

I am sure that the DfT, the unions and to a certain extent Chiltern Railways are in no hurry. Come 21st September the DfT can rip up the agreement with Chiltern Railways and pass the baton to West Midlands Trains and why not. West Midlands Trains can use the staffing arrangements which they...

See post #624.

I was party to the fun last Friday going against the flow of passengers in the subway, as I was trying to get to the Southern service to Kensington Olympia. I have to say the staff were first class; plenty on the scene directing passengers to the Overground platforms and no fuss at all. Plenty...

As this event is likely to attract more spectators than an Oxford United home match will there be a viewing area created with refreshments do we know ?

As a regular user I sympathise with the OP but this is a difficult period with Chiltern having to accommodate GWR passengers.I suggest he visits again on say a Wednesday at 11.00am and he will see a different place . With the exception of platforms 5 /6 I don't think the basic footprint of the...

There is no Chiltern service on the Met line today,certainly beyond Amersham as a new bridge is being installed over the line at Stoke Mandeville.(South east Aylesbury Relief Road).

Transport for london announcement says " Doors will open on the -------- side in the direction of travel" I believe.

No doubt this topic will run to 7+ pages similar to the "Passengers locked inside Hartlepool Station" with no agreed upon acceptable resolution

The likely severity of Bram was being flagged by the Met Office last Friday and on subsequent forecasts.I am surprised more operators have not raised the issue of potential disruption.

I would suggest that the OP avoids trying to contact HMRC via any communications medium then.

And not much fun on a Class 165!

Very quiet week on the Green Signals front if this is all they can dig up. Will not have any impact.

Notwithstanding the various technical arguments put forward by previous posters which are entirely valid I do wonder whether this scheme has been thought through or is it a vanity project dreamt up because a section of old line is available ? In the various press briefings and articles I have...

So I arrive at Bradford Forster Square and sit on a platform bench to take two urgent business calls, then I visit the toilet then I buy a coffee ( no knowledge of Bradford F.S as to whether there is a cafe on the platform ) before I depart as I am in no hurry for my business appointment...
