    Network Railcard strangeness

    Hi Just tried to buy two Anytime Singles at 2.45pm from Hassocks to Brighton. The TVM gave a total of 9.60 without the railcard and 26.00 with. What did I do wrong?? Thanks!

    Digital Network Railcard

    Digital railcards are appropriate if you want to travel in the next 24-48 hours

    Digital Network Railcard

    Back in the site now. Same issue, but the error code has changed. Is it just a random number generator? Just rung the helpline again - more lift music and no indication if they are actually open and taking calls or not...

    Digital Network Railcard

    (Apologies if this is in the wrong forum) Wanted to ask about forumites experiences buying digital railcards. Bought one this afternoon. Never got the download code to add it to the app on my phone. Go to the website and it shows "Ordered" but clicking Manage Digital Devices just shows an error...

    Selhurst Plat 2/3

    Why is this platform divided by such a long length of sturdy fence? I don't recall seeing a similar arrangement elsewhere on the network.

    Delay Repay Query

    Apologies if this is a bit of a dumb query. I commute to London on the East Grinstead line. As you will know, the line is closed south of Lingfield because of a landslip. Today the situation was compounded by a points failure at Lingfield which meant trains were not running south of Oxted/Hurst...

    Island Line Railway - current state and the future

    In my view the whole thing should be converted to guided busway and then it could seamlessly be integrated with Southern Vectis. Imagine the delights of a smooth, quick journey between Ryde Pierhead and Shanklin with onward journies to Ventnor and West Wight. It could be dewightful !

    Trivia: Towns which do not deserve the service they get

    Dormans. 2tph (4tph in rush hour) for what is effectively a millionaire's housing estate. Both East Grinstead and Lingfield have stations on the same line are about 1.5 miles away in either direction. An example of a station which should be closed but is maintained simply because money always...

    Dispatching a train in the dark under DOO

    Don't class 700s have "sensitive edge" technology to deal with trapped objects? I can understand how an interlock can be achieved even with something stuck in, but I had thought this was mitigated by the use of "sensitive edge" technology.

    Dispatching a train in the dark under DOO

    Today I was on an early Thameslink train from East Grinstead to London Bridge. At Upper Warlingham the electricity supply to the station had failed so there was no lighting. Being still dark, the platform was very murky. We sat there for some time until the driver announced he could not dispatch...

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    Don't know, but I suppose if the peak LBG trains return to Southern, TLR could still run 1 or 2 services from EGR as well. If they ran semi-fast in the manner of the Uckfield trains then this would certainly be welcomed by the commuters I'm sure. If they failed to run then at least the slower...

    Thameslink Services/Timetable from May 20th 2018

    Completely agree - it has been an utter shambles all week! Why did anyone think that turning a 30 mile train journey in a 60 mile+ journey would lead to a better service (I'm thinking here about evening peak trains to EGR coming from Luton/Bedford instead of starting at LBG). This morning really...
