On the departures board at maidenhead Station today there is a delayed "charter train" that was scheduled to depart at 0908. The only thing I can find on rtt is a train to Exeter. Is it this? If so does anyone know what it was chartered for ?

The last 2 trains from maidenhead to marlow were cancelled today. I think they were cancelled before 10pm yesterday as they were not showing on rtt. But assuming they were cancelled on the day or this happens in the future, what should the railway do to get me home with my bicycle or what...

I dont know the finer details of the issues Yesterday 1 of the lines leaving Paddington (don't know which) was out of action at Acton due to a defective track. This was all cleared and service back to normal by the evening peak. Today same issue has happened again Is this the same stretch of...

Have a friend visiting from Canada in August. She'll be travelling london to Scotland (not sure where yet). Is there a ticket she can buy abroad that works out cheaper than buying direct from usual uk retailers / UK split ticket options / advance

(This does not affect me, I'm just interested). This evening there are short notice cancellations on the marlow branch with no services after 9pm due to action short of a strike. Gwr state that no road transport alternative has been provided. Should the railway provide taxis? What happens if...

In peak times there is a shuttle service from maidenhead to bourne end every 30 minutes, bourne end being the terminus. Gwr have an overtime ban today Today the 0612 arrived into bourne end (which forms the 0616 departure) but the 0616 was cancelled due to "industrial action". The following...

The 1536 from maidenhead to marlow departed maidenhead at 1533 today. It is scheduled to wait for the 1532 arrival from Paddington which arrived at 1534 so quite a few people have an hour waiting for the next service to marlow

Its been common in chain restaurants for a while for a discretionary service charge (usually 12.5%) being added to a bill automatically, with you having to ask for it to be removed. I've just read an article that this is now spreading to pubs even when people order at the bar. Its never happened...

I'm crawling along on a "fast" service on the mains approaching Southall and looked on RTT to see possible reason for the slow service and it appears a stopping EL service to reading is on the main line delaying all the fast gwr trains. Anyone know why this one train (9R48) is on the mains

I often read the "disputes and prosecutions" thread and lots of people caught without a / incorrect ticket etc. Claim they have anxiety. Is anxiety as a medical condition really widespread? I've never really come across it before (I dont want this thread to turn into a "they should grow some...

Just going through my delay repay account (whilst waiting for my connecting train following a delay) and I see that tonight is my 73rd delay repay request (and assume acceptance) this calendar year. Has anyone else ever came close to this number? I assume about 15 of them will be for strike days

This links into the thread about the poor performance of the EL. So far this week we've had a cracked rail at iver and a cracked rail at maidenhead. Since September we've had points failures, signal failures and ohle issues. I have nothing to compare it with, but travelling on it daily and...
