    Buying All Line Rovers

    I purchased one last week off of a conductor as there is no ticket office at my local station. Only difference is that there is no station on the ticket where it was issued? This was the only difference I could see from my friends one?

    Train Etiquette

    Well to get away from the dross that tends to be the great british public I pay to go First Class whenever possible (subject to price). Things that annoy me:- * People constantly talking on mobile phones, especially business people using corporate buzzwords etc and trying to sound all...

    Virgin First Class ticket am - breakfast

    Indeed there was no 0830 train:D my error. My boss purchased me a ticket and told me it was 0830 but of course I had to change trains to get to Manc Pic. Enjoyed the breakfast and the whole service and experience was top notch!

    Southern to axe toilets on Portsmouth to Brighton

    Well, I had a day out yesterday and went on FOUR trains worked by 377/3 units (the units the 313s have been drafted in to replace) and guess what - not one of the units had a working toilet! So no real change to be honest is there?

    Southern Services from December

    I recall the last few bank holidays that Southern have been operating a Saturday service too? Infact, they definitely were as Bank Holiday Monday in May we went to Normans Bay for a pub lunch and that station is closed on Sundays.

    East Midlands Trains to close buffet cars

    Absolutely - and look at the 442s now. It breaks my heart to see the heart and souls ripped out of them! Still, at least they still sound good ;-)

    Some customers can be so rude

    It always amazes me when I have travelled on Southern or Southeastern 377/375 trains in peak times that people actually rush to get the individual seats adjacent to the universal toilet. I mean for christ sake, do they really want to sit next to the bleedin toilet for the whole journey when they...
