Show all the tickets say one person is in the toilet ? The railway doesn't want you travelling separately, can't see an issue if you've all the tickets in your possession, you haven't gained anything financially

Chiltern Railways Birmingham to London services almost consistently show this on a Saturday from Leamington Spa or Banbury on journeycheck. Not sure if it shows on the screens as I've no wish to cram on a 4 car 168 for an hrs ride and either go to Bicester Village or Aylesbury instead presumably...

Little bit confusing/misleading for potential bus users using the "X" when actually neither the X4 or the X6 are the express route between Aylesbury and Milton Keynes, that actually being the 100 which goes direct not via Buckingham or Leighton Buzzard and the X9 is slower than the 130 with the...

It's rather a pain for Bicester residents who face a choice of a likely full service that has come from Birmingham at Bicester North or a slow ride in from Bicester Village. Those like myself who bought on the basis of the 2019 timetable are not happy! Ideally they'd go to the peak (Inc...

It is almost certainly only on exit (or not at all ) a couple of times I've only remembered during the day and haven't had a fine Design flaw in RingGo though , should allow you to select 2 days and charge you £3

and if you've got multiple tickets (e.g. split tickets) make sure it is going to print them all. I got caught out by this recently with a Chiltern Railways machine, you have to tick the rest of the tickets which I didn't realise. Which seems silly to me, it's far more likely someone will want...

If you get really unlucky with Chiltern late at night they just might not display the train at all! Perhaps it's just my services but I find this new timetable not so bad for needing to use the boarding area or particularly late boarding. There are certainly some services where boarding could...

Looks a bit weird, puts their first train into Birmingham past 9am which on a Saturday is rather late. Also means they've got to have more units / drivers over night up north to operate the southbound services which haven't been reduced. That said I can't imagine the pre-7.30am demand for...

Gap of 90 mins last night and the last train was cancelled. I had considered using them instead of Chiltern but I'm glad I didn't! Getting home at night is really becoming unpleasant to this part of the world and will be making people think twice about train travel next time

Yes Red Rose will be pleased. Whenever I've seen a 9 or a 10 they've been quite sparsely populated. I wonder if they'll extend back to Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

I heard that Arriva are pulling out of Aylesbury route 9 but couldn't see anything official, does anyone have any Intel? It's one of the main routes left in Aylesbury so doesn't bode well for that depot if true !!

Seems like it. And I do agree, on short runs like this I imagine a lot of people check the timetable on the day and it's better the trains aren't there. From digging around on Twitter it does seem some unadvertised RRB will be running later tonight for anyone caught out Just a shame to see...

This week I've noticed Chiltern doing something they've never done before to my knowledge and that is "deleting" (P-coding?) trains very last minute. This has included the last trains most of this week - the last 3 tonight ! Tomorrow they've cut 23 trains out including the evening...

Bit of trouble this morning - the 0720 ex Oxford Parkway was only 4 coaches. This service was picking up from the RRBs at Bicester and then scheduled to be a slow service into London which does seem to be very poor planning. It was leaving people behind by the time it reached Haddenham and Thame...

It's now resolved - Oxford restored from tomorrow but but Aylesbury via Amersham still only getting an hourly servicing and that only starts from Friday. Not sure if that'll be the case through until the 7th August or not

There are buses to Amersham running hourly and a "commuter" service running from Aylesbury at 0730 out back at 1820 this week along with the Risborough shuttles. Hopefully connections are still reasonable following the Oxford cancellations. But it's not ideal, most people can plan holiday or...

Cancelled again today. I actually managed to take the return working (10.14am) a couple of weeks ago and I'd say there were approx 50 people at Paigton boarding that looked like they were going a long distance and I was surprised when I was out and about just how many northern accents I heard...

Not all day - the "peak" is half hourly

Yes it does seem like a bad deal for Beaconsfield. Not an easy fix within the current setup as the Oxford services for passengers from stations like Bicester Village are already pretty slow, especially compared to pre-COVID Seer Green is already a call in the xx.15 Oxfords. I wonder if they'd...

From my observation the timetable seems to be going OK, from what I've heard from friends there are a couple of problems in the AM peak - between 6.30-7am at High Wycombe / Beaconsfield there are a few short trains that have come from far out which are very busy. The bulk of the capacity only...
