Barkingside Station is right next to Redbridge FC (the "grandstand" backs onto one of the platforms and you can see into the ground from the footbridge) but to reach it you have to walk about 150 yards in the wrong direction, then walk about 400 yards taking you past the ground before walking...

I think you'll find it isn't. Unless you drive the train onto the platform and through the interchange passageways at Euston or Oxford Circus.

If saying a card is invalid when it's actually valid is a 'small' error what would you consider a large one?

It would make it harder for the driver to cover up his error.

From what point of view? Watford has, from memory, a 15-minute service. Stanmore more like 3 minutes.

Why? That should be totally unacceptable.

I've never had any problems in Birmingham or Benfleet (I'm not doing it alphabetically, they're just the only two I've had cause to use. Most journeys I do my destination is within walking distance of the station)

I have a trip booked through the sale for a couple of weeks' time. I was going to pick up the tickets this weekend. Would I be better to wait until nearer the time?

Quite. Railway incompetence should be covered up, not splashed all over the news.

Bit of a contradiction there.

I use that one when visiting family in Ipswich at short notice if I can't find suitable advances. I think it only works because of the Network Railcard discount which only applies London to Manningtree. (As an aside when I tried putting London-Ipswich into trainsplit last year - I haven't tried...

Point of order: you said You didn't say yours was one of them.

I've had a travelcard purchased *inside* the zones swallowed by the barrier on exiting the issuing station.

Which bit of "Earlier this morning two of our trains were damaged following a low speed collision within the depot near London Victoria." don't you understand?

That's more or less my view on just about everything in life.

GWR staff making things up that contradict the official websites? Ask bnm about that one. Just make up a reason that she has no way of checking.

Or that other stations smoke.

What's this "one year anniversary" nonsense that has crept into popular misusage? "Anniversary" by definition relates to complete years as anyone with even rudimentary knowledge of Latin or French would know. "First anniversary" is sufficient. And don't get me started on "six month anniversary"...

But would they want to be sweeping platforms?
