When looking at the calling pattern of North Downs Line, it often finding many stations like Gomshall are only having 1 train per 2 hour. It appears to be too infrequent for a line that is served by 2 trains per hour. Would it be better off to make those infrequent stops be request stops and be...

Travelled on the Birmingham to Shrewsbury and Dovey Junction services on multiple occasions last month, and often the case is the train is rammed to Wolvehampton and Telford with no standing space available. While for Birmingham bound, it often overloaded with luggages starting at Newton and...

I have a group of people travelling together on SWR + Avanti + Scotrail and all have missed connections to Scottail by Avanti. Since I am the one bought all tickets and the fellows are not bothered to do the delay repay manual work, is it okay for me to do one each claim on each ticket in one...

I am looking for tickets for my mates going to travel in early September weekend, from Guildford to Faversham, using forum's ticketing site. It seems rather weird that the forum site generated in both "Fixed Time" and "Flexible" options, more expensive splits than one single flexible return...

I am trying to book a Friday early morning service from SE London to Buxton, with season ticket in mind. The reason why I am trying to do that is to generate a valid itinery with connections from my trains to London Bridge and connection on to Euston. However, there are keep on have errors...

When my friend try to purchase GWR e tickets, it popped that an app must be downloaded to use their e tickets. I thought this is a thing for the long gone m tickets. Is it GWR no longer email pdf e tickets?

I am planning to get a cross London ticket from north kent line station within Greater London to Surrey. However multiple sites have different interpretations on the route, with some be valid via Waterloo, some be valid via Paddington and some be only valid via Redhill. In this case of...

When I try to look for tickets from Abbey Wood towards Wokingham area, I am surprised to see that what offered on GWR and Southeastern is way higher (and not exist on) than the list of fares shown on BrFares. I am not sure if BrFares may have wrongly interpreted the fares between the OD.

I am planning to do a journey from station in Sussex to southeast London, north of St John's on this Saturday. Upon checking the journey planner on that day, there are not journeys can be appeared on Journey Planners on any related operators. I know the apparent route, but I find that via...

I know that a post 3 years was asking about the validity of the ticket to use via Euston. May I know if it is still valid, especially when wanting to do a London Bridge - St Pancras - (walk) - Euston - Bletchley - Bedford journey over this weekend?

In January, I tried to travel on a Northern Branch Line and connect to West Coast service, using the open rerurn portion. But the branch line was closed whole day. So I got to find my own transport (long detour buses) to the mainline station to continue. Northern unsurprisingly rejected my DR...

On 20th Jan, East Croydon to Gatwick Airport will be closed and GTR has advised passengers to use Southern replacement bus and catch trains from East Grinstead instead. But, as to my knowledge, East Grinstead is not Oyster zoned, while Gatwick Airport will still be open and operate a much slower...

I am on a well delayed Class 465 Southeastern train with nothing ahead in signal diagram. I feel that the driver trying to cut time by minimising dwell time as much as possible. But it appears to me that the train just don’t accelerate fast, as those Class 710 on Overhead lines, which in normal...

Southeastern get many destinations, and Victoria is the less loved one. Part of the reason is the longer journey time which sometime even Google Map saying chaning at London Bridge for Underground to Victoria is faster than a direct train from Lewisham. By looking at the runtime, I am shocked...

I know it's quite spicy about reducing headcount of frontline staff at stations. But, with the advance communication, some TOCs like GWR (e.g. Bath, Chippenham), Thameslink (e.g. Harpenden) to have telecom only assistance at secondary gatelines (like down platforms attached to carpark). I am...

Often it's quite a confusion when looking for trains at the second or third on display board, to know where the train is exactly going as there would be multiple routes to get there. For example a Waterloo East to Dartford service can go via both Bexleyheath or Sidcup. Or a Waterloo to...

It seems that only the UK in the whole Europe would have 30 - 45 seconds door closure time set to driver only operated metro services. It seems that the time is inherited from guard operation which would take more time (though, Tokyo Metro, even with guard, can complete the procedure with only...

It seems that one of the negative consequences of getting Southeastern/ Southern to Southwestern joruney pairs be London NOT Underground be: Every time when Waterloo East is closed, no valid joruneys (e.g. Blackheath to Woking) can be offered online for purchase, making passengers seaming think...

When trying to do flexible ticket purchase online via NE Journey Planner to refer to TOC sites, from Southeastern North Kent Line stations like Slade Green or Great Eastern destinations like Witham to West Coast Mainline destinations or East Coast Mainline destinations. The shortest journey...
