It's alright, I'm not asking any money for them - as Southern and FCC give them out on request, it won't cost me anything. Just need to PM me an address to send them to. :)

Am sure I could get you a Southern and an FCC wallet if you wanted. :D

Many thanks John! :D Sadly it seems Virgin trains are now using an Indian call centre. I got through to them and was told that no such easement exists, and if using my off peak ticket I would be liable to a penalty fare and could be "arrested when I get to your destination"!!! A letter of...

I can't see a 15:51 service on NRE - the latest I could want to catch would be the 16:40 - this gets me into Euston at 21:24. The last train to Worthing is the 00:05 (although this does go into Brighton and back out again so takes a little longer!). --- old post above --- --- new post below ---...

Am going back to Worthing, but I have a season ticket for Worthing to London Terminals which includes a travelcard - I normally commute from Worthing to London Bridge every day. I did consider flying, but I have no idea what time I will be coming back and the train is more flexible than...

First class isn't really an option - in any case I'm not that fussy. I was contemplating treating myself to some fast food for breakfast - I am not a burger monkey, so visiting the Golden Arches is a rare thing for me! :p

Southern rarely seem to ask to see the YP card on the train - nine times out of ten, neither I, nor my girlfriend were asked for it. The only people who ever asked were Revenue Protection Officers and they only took a brief glance.

I'll look into the refund option - thanks! Small cock up on the final destination, it's apparently Hairmyres. It's in East Kilbride. Am not going on this trip for pleasure, certainly! And I'm going to be leaving from our offices at Canary Wharf, so I'm getting a cab at about 4.50am as I...

1.... 2.... 3.... BUGGER! Oh well, at least the (overpriced) journey won't be too busy! :lol:

It was about £280 for an anytime day return (I need the flexibility). However I suggested that the company (its on expenses) paid for the renewal of my 16-25 railcard which then dropped the ticket price to £180. Plus the £26 for the railcard means we ended up saving about £60 (and I get a free...

G'day all, I have a question about a journey I intend to make next week on the above route. I am getting the first train of the day (it's about 5.50am) and was wondering if the train (I assume a Pendolino?) will be busy or not. I am thinking it'll be fairly quiet, but I would rather get to...

I admit it would certainly cost money to implement such a scheme. Is it not the case currently though that if you have left your ticket at home but get a penalty fare, that your penalty notice is cancelled if you can present this ticket via their appeals procedure? I know that a friend of mine...

I realise I'm barging into this discussion without any introduction or the like, but the topic caught my eye (especially as I have just renewed my 16-25 railcard!). :D To me it seems fair that you need to present the railcard on purchase and whilst travelling. I cannot agree that it is...

Hi, Would I be able to travel on the Gatwick Express with a London-West Worthing season ticket? I was under the impression I could, as there are no restrictions on my season ticket and as London-Gatwick is part of the permitted route then I should be okay? Thanks in advance for your help!

That's what I was thinking. :) Nice to have a straightforward journey, spending 30 minutes stuck in the vestibule of an NXEC Mk 3 carriage between Doncaster and York last weekend was anything but relaxing....

Hi, Next weekend (Saturday 22nd March) me and my girlfriend need to travel from London to Southampton Central and a few hours later travel from Southampton Central to Worthing. The next day (the Sunday) we need to travel from Worthing back up to London again. Am I right in thinking that a...
