    Chiltern Mainline - experiences?

    Hi all Just wondering if anyone's had any experiences or thoughts on the new service yet? I was at Marylebone (for a Met service) at 6pm and the concourse was heaving. I think the issue is the old 6pm - 6.21pm flight of services has shifted 10-15mins later for stations to High Wycombe. The...

    Chiltern ticket acceptance on LUL during engineering work

    I wonder if they've got a bit mixed up and in fact you can only exit at Oxford Circus? This is usually the station that appears on timetables during engineering work affecting services requiring use of the Central line Amersham is open with additional services into Marylebone (buses from...

    Have you ever been the only passenger on a train?

    been on Chiltern Railways High Wycombe - Aylesbury (or parts of) by myself quite a few times around 11pm. They really are just stock positioning moves from Princes Risborough onwards. A couple of memorable occasions was a train started from West Ruislip (engineering works) - arriving 20mins...

    Aylesbury - London Marylebone

    thanks for the help everyone :) My experiences of the stoppers generally have been uncomfortably full, and if anything has gone wrong on the Met then they are crush loaded, so will definitely be aiming for the limited stop runs. I just wish they'd run one around 8ish - the schedule isn't...

    Aylesbury - London Marylebone

    ah well, a table and a laptop point is out the question then. I've done a couple of ad-hoc journeys over the years in the evening peak and definitely had a 168. though we were leaving people behind at Harrow so they defiantly aren't suited stock for the route I guess! I've just noticed there...

    Aylesbury - London Marylebone

    Hi I'm just about to start commuting Aylesbury - London Marylebone. Just wondering if anyone had any tips? In the morning I'll be on the 6.47 or 7.50 "express services" - are these both formed of 165s? Are any of the services from Aylesbury 168? I remember some peak time 168 workings in...

    Cheapest Return Fare Darlington-Southampton

    If you really need to do it cheaper and time isnt so much of an issue than Megabus and National Express have some £20 return fares from Middlesbrough to Victoria. From there you could pick up the Group Save 4 from the ticket office in the train station (few mins walk) - no need to buy in...

    Discounted London OD Travelcards from Fast Ticket machines ?

    I've got a feeling that you can now buy a travel card with a RC discount from an LU machine - I haven't done it myself but i'm sure I saw an option. Otherwise you definately can from the Chiltern machine.

    Thameslink Programme, South Central & South Eastern area fleet cascades etc

    Yep I just took the 1709 ex Brighton which was 201, no LED displays and no stickers in the windows, cue some confused passengers along the way! However did spot the 375s leaving East Croydon and on a 350 en route to Shepards Bush, definately an interesting time for the Southern Railways!
