Can anybody advise please. I'm currently on my return journey from Plymouth to Fratton. On a whim I would like to stop off in Dawlish and Taunton, stay overnight there and continue my journey home tomorrow on super off peak valid trains. Am I allowed to do this on this ticket or do I need to buy...

Is it just me or has travelling by train become a bit more of a rollercoaster ride? Today's unpleasant ride was between Chichester and Southborne. Passengers looking at each other with alarm at the severity of the rocking of the carriages. By no means the only area for uncomfortable rides...

Is there an official line as to what happens on trains when the seat reservation screens are not working? We were on the 1245 from Wolverhampton to Euston on the 6th July. We had seat reservations. The train was packed already, and it was clear that, due to the displays not working...

Two new ones to add to the plethora of announcements that SWR seem to think we need to hear. 'Please keep your feet off the seats' and 'Please use the litter bins provided'. How long will it be until we get one in the toilets saying, 'Please make sure you flush the toilet after use'. I just...

Can anybody tell me why when I put my tickets through a ticket barrier it pretty much always denies me entry and tells me to seek attention? I buy tickets online and collect from a ticket machine. I also have a railcard. It gets a bit infuriating, especially if the train is tight and staff are...

Just wondering if you can still claim for delay repay when the last leg is a bus? Journey was from Tenby to Fratton via Swansea, Reading and Guildford. The Swansea to Reading train arrived 20 mins late, and because of this I missed my connection from Reading to Guildford and had to wait for the...

Does anybody know why it is such a lottery on this line as to how many carriages your train will have. Yesterday I was on the 1023 out of Portsmouth Harbour, a two car. After Southampton Central you could not move for people. Today I notice the 0923 and 1023 are both two car again. So why is...

Turned up at Fratton just now to catch the 1119 to London Victoria to find it departed ten minutes early! How can this be allowed to happen?

Just curious, wondering if anybody in the know could say why trains heading between these stations seem to go quite slowly now. I think it's been a couple of months that this has been the case. Hilsea to Fratton seems ok though.

Has anybody travelled on a strike day on this line? Might have to go to London on Saturday so I am wondering how busy the trains are and if they are running pretty much to time. Cheers

Could anyone please tell me who I make a delay/repay claim to. Is it to the company I bought the online ticket from or the rail company that caused the delay. Details are as follows. Ticket bought from Cross Country. Single ticket Fratton to Aberystwyth via Newport and Shrewsbury. Newport to...

Yesterday, 1st Feb my 1311 Portsmouth Harbour to Victoria train on the wonderful Southern Railways was cancelled due to a 'planning error'. Just wondering what the heck that is supposed to be?

Is it just me or is platform one at Fratton always dodgy when it comes to health and safety. From around the newer bridge down to the staff area block it usually has numerous broken and uneven paving and today, with a bit of rain, deep puddles really close to the platform edge. Suprised Network...

Anybody know if the bridge improvements are going to plan? On holiday in the area just after the planned finished date.

Does anybody know if they are using a coach for this journey or is just a bog standard double decker bus? Thanks.

Can anybody please tell me if engineering works are taking place this Saturday 10th October in the Portsmouth area. I am wondering the best route to get to London from Fratton but looking at National Rail Enquiries timetables i am baffled as to whether there are buses replacing trains on the...

Three quick question please, mainly related to the hot weather. 1. Is it true that 1st class passengers on the Caledonian sleeper can use the 1st class lounge at Euston? 2. Does it have air conditioning? 3 Does the sleeper train (to Fort William) have air conditioning? Thanks for any replies.

Pretty poor show from the guard in charge of the 1814 Winchester to Portsmouth Harbour train last night. Arriving 20 mins late from a problem near Waterloo i noticed on my phone the train was now due to miss out Portchester, Cosham and Hilsea to make up time. Trouble was at no point on the...

With a strike happening on this day I'm wondering if my only option would be to get to Guildford on SWT and then the FGW Reading to Gatwick service. How busy would the FGW train likely be on a strike day (around 4pm). Is it just a 3 car train? Thanks for any advice.

I have bought hundreds of tickets before from the self ticket machines at Fratton but today I had an issue with one online booking I made (through Cross Country Trains, bought a few days ago). I would have seen the people in the ticket office but unfortunately they were closed. The tickets...
