    Clapham Junction this morning

    I pass through Clapham Junction two or three times a week at the same sort of time so have a pretty good idea of what can be expected through there and when, even if I can't tell you which particular services they are.

    Connections

    What exactly consitutes a connection these days? When I was young, trains on branch lines, for instance, would always wait for trains that were listed as connections if the incoming train was delayed.

    Basic fare information

    I want to travel from A to B. I don't want a cheap advance fare. I don't want to have to go through websites which demand times and dates of travel before they will tell me the 'fares available'. I am perfectly capable of reading a timetable and planning my journey. I simply want to know what...
