    Passenger Assistance and replacement buses

    I injured my leg in the autumn and am still on crutches. I have used the train successfully and didn't book any assistance as stairs are easier than a ramp and I had a friend with me. Next month I have a one way trip from Waterloo to Eastleigh late in the evening and I know it is bus/coach from...

    Special Offers Discussion

    That's my experience on SWR. Only one day I need to head to London during the sale and only train with sale fare was the 23:05 back. Looking at various options if I wait until super off peak and use my railcard (which I know not everyone has) cheapest good combination of advances is only about...

    Why do SWR not announce midweek engineering works

    You can get to it through the top menu still luckily. Can't wait for March to drop ☺️

    Why do SWR not announce midweek engineering works

    A win to not run trains late at night or not tell us they aren't running trains late at night?

    Why do SWR not announce midweek engineering works

    Thanks, really wondering why SWR don't list it (and even National Rail don't list the 27th) unless you start actual journey planning. I guess its a small percentage affected but if I go to London for the day I'm that percentage!

    Why do SWR not announce midweek engineering works

    Sorry, original plan 3rd Feb Waterloo to Eastleigh, rearranged plan 27th Jan - I'll have a look at the national rail version as that seems to cover it! I just got used to relying on the SWR one (and don't go midweek that often!) 1767182284 Just had a look on National Rail enquiries for 27th Jan...

    Why do SWR not announce midweek engineering works

    Sorry if this is the wrong place, feel free to move. I booked to see a show with a friend on 4th Feb. I booked in November so engineering wasn't out but checked as soon as published in December and nothing showing. Get towards the end of December and start looking at trains and last direct one...

    PlusBus Tickets

    I thought there must be a way! Not sure if I am brave enough to try unless it is with a 'tame' driver!

    PlusBus Tickets

    Good to know, but the card number has rubbed off the physical card too! 1756809727 Yes, I have seen them remove taps before (and even accidentally removed mine too!) He insisted there wasn't a tap! (and I was holding up the bus!!!)

    PlusBus Tickets

    They do, and I use it with my physical card sometimes. I had turned NFC off but it had turned back on! I need the card number - not sure how to get that out of my google wallet to use their portal.

    PlusBus Tickets

    I had my first fail in a while last week. Bought tickets for me and mum and plus bus and added it all to my google wallet. a setting must have changed to NFC turned back on so as soon as I tried to scan the barcode the debit card 'woke up' (as on the Ticketer machine barcode scanner is right...

    SWR "Do Not Travel"

    SWR put out a Do Not Travel on Monday - seemingly for their whole network. I worked from home but looked and my train ran and was only a few minutes late! I agree it wasn't worth the risk of not getting home later but can I claim for anything? (I have an annual season ticket on a smart card).

    Why do some passengers not get how annoying it is to play music and videos out loud?

    On 5 carriage Desiro trains it is the part of the front (or rear) carriage shared with first class. On 4 carriage Desiro trains it is one of the ends Not sure on other stock. Seems to make no difference though! Sometimes on a late train home I avoid it as there even seem to be some who want to...

    A New Series of "Fare Dodgers At War With the Law..."

    Was I the only one who thought at the end of the last episode the revenue guy was telling the passenger to just buy a railcard then doing him for having only just bought it?

    PlusBus Tickets

    I note my local town's plusbus page no longer lists BlueStar - who must run like 90% of the buses in the area but are still listed on PlusBus for other areas so not like they have withdrawn. Any way to be sure?

    SWR Tap2Go problems still

    Your post encouraged me to check and my journey from Eastleigh to Portsmouth was auto-completed last Wednesday. I don't recall actually being told there are general issues still - just the occasional shouty email that I didn't touch in / out (umm, I did!) I hadn't really thought of your point...

    Why do some passengers not get how annoying it is to play music and videos out loud?

    Maybe I was too quick to defend! I agree they should make the small effort!!!

    Why do some passengers not get how annoying it is to play music and videos out loud?

    Barrister summing up: "You have led a life of annoying others with noises and must finally face the repercussions of your actions..." To me it is a real side effect of removing headphone jacks - in-ear bluetooth earphones are not suitable or easily lost. A cheap pair of plug in over ear...
