Hi all, I have a London Terminals - Southampton Central weekly season. Could you tell me whether I could board the 0120 from Wimbledon (0105 ex-Waterloo) and travel on to Southampton? It is 'set-down only', but since my ticket is valid from Waterloo, would that be a problem? I know I'm...

Hi all, I trust some of you will have knowledge that extends to France/Belgium. I have a complimentary return London - Paris Eurostar ticket, thanks to the disruption before Christmas. I booked it with the intention of having a jolly to Paris, but now I have a legitimate need to go to Bruges...

Hi all, Due to a signalling fault at Brockenhurst and a power supply problem at Portsmouth & Southsea, there is extensive disruption tonight on services through Soton Central. I could see that control were struggling with platform availability when I arrived, with 2, 3 and 4 occupied and...

Hi all, Anyone know of any splits for a day return Durham - Edinburgh. Two adults, one with a 16-25. Going out between 0900 and 1000 on a weekday and returning late evening. Any help much appreciated! Mark

Hi all, I regularly do Southampton Central - Waterloo on a Super Offpeak Day Return, but something I'm never sure about is what happens at the London end. I am often travelling to near Trafalgar Square, so it's quite handy to go to Charing Cross from Waterloo East. Is this strictly allowed...

Hi all, This question might be a bit academic, since I'm not sure any such services may exist, but the Salisbury - Romsey - Southampton - Eastleigh - Romsey got me thinking. A ticket from Chandler's Ford to Romsey would appear to be valid via Southampton Central, since the direct train rule...

Hi all, Naturally I wasn't quick enough to get advance tickets for the Christmas period and I know that long journeys are usually not suitable for splitting, but does anyone have any bright ideas for the below? Winchester to Durham, going out after 1600 on 23rd, or early 24th December, and...

Hi all, I noticed today that the curve on approach to Southampton Central from the North, which is very severe, has a central rail. Is this to stop any derailments from fouling the other line? Separately, I know the Morpeth curve is infamous, presumably because it is in the middle of a...

Hi all, I remember when the Voyagers were introduced on XC, VT 4/5 Car stop signs went up all over the place. However, I'd always wondered why they were placed where they are. For example, platform 4 at Newcastle, where Voyagers stop right down towards the Southern end of the platform. As...

Hi all, Another post. Is anyone aware of any helpful splits/rovers for a Winchester - Aberystwyth day return? An early departure of 0512 and a return around 1700. Thanks, Mark --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I should mention that this is a weekday

Hi all, I'm after some advice. I am heading up to Stroud for the day, this Saturday. I have a 16-25 railcard. I would like to avoid the Reading - Swindon bus and travel via Salisbury. I also have a valid Winchester - Southampton season. Could anyone suggest a suitable fare and the best...

Hi all; first post, With a Southampton CTL & London Zones 1-6 Day Travelcard, could someone advise as to whether it would be possible to return during the evening peak restricted period (eg 1700 from Waterloo), if I bought a Surbiton to Woking single (£3.45 with YP). My intention would be to...
