    Diamond Jubilee Train Services

    I was meeting a friend on Sunday and he said the Hounslow trains were rammed. 1tph is a pitiful service anyway and with all the extra people travelling from areas like Chiswick it was always going to be chaos.

    Things to do in Inverness ?

    Can anyone reccomend a decent (cheap) hotel/hostel in Inverness for one night in July? Ideally close to the station as I'll be on the 07:55 to KX the next morning.

    London Votes 2012

    Don't like Boris or Ken. I voted for Ken last time but won't do so this time - he loses more support every time he opens his mouth. 4 years ago a lot of my friends were students. It's frightening how many people voted for Boris "because he's funny".

    Kings Cross - New station

    Is there going to be a more permanent barrier separating the departure gates and the arrival gates? It's not exactly difficult to get through without a ticket at the moment.

    East Coast points scheme

    It's telling me I have 0 unused vouchers, where presumably it should say I have 1 as I haven't booked the tickets yet? I've gone through the form on their website but they say they'll take 5 days to get back to me. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Got this reply from them...

    East Coast points scheme

    Is anyone else having problems trying to book tickets using the 'free' ones? I redeemed 900 points for a standard class return for two last night and can't book anything. I thought it may be an availability issue but it doesn't seem to work on any dates. The journey I'm trying to book is...

    Tube Strike: April 2012

    It was more of a general point. I think it's fair that people doing the same jobs for the same orgsanisation should get the same benefits. That should be done by raising the remuneration of those at the bottom not the other way round.

    Tube Strike: April 2012

    Why should it be a race to the bottom? We should strive to improve working conditions not step back to the 19th Century. That said I don't usually agree with Bob as I think he takes the **** with some of his demands but on this occasion I do. Good luck to those involved.

    Kings Cross - New station

    Upstairs by the food outlets? All general seating I think.

    I agree. Have to hand it to United they held 90 minutes silence as a mark of respect.

    Virgin / fare evader on Twitter...

    I think that would be impossible to prove.

    London mayor live blog – Boris expletive-filled rant at Ken plus transport Q&A

    I don't really like either. I voted for Red Ken last time (based purely on what he'd done previously, don't like him at all as a person) but he loses more of my support every time he opens his mouth at the moment.

    The Falklands

    Slightly different but didn't the people of Hong Kong wish to remain British in 1997? Obviously China is a more dangerous enemy than Argentina...

    Incident at Retford on Thursday evening

    There's been a HT set at Old Oak Common for the past week I think. Doesn't seem to have moved on the couple of occasions I've been past it.

    London Votes 2012

    I voted for Ken (just) last time but won't do so this time, every time he opens his mouth he loses support. I'm no lover of Boris either though, bus fares in particular have gone through the roof since he took over and it's now £1.35 for a single on oyster! That said he apparently had to fill a...

    Clapham Junction & Surbiton chaos

    If you want to demolish half of SW London you can make a back up line in to Waterloo... As it is there are other ways in to/ out of London for people who don't want to wait it out either from Paddington or Victoria and changing where nescasery...

    Clapham Junction & Surbiton chaos

    A person hit by a train at Surbiton. Much as I'm usually quick to criticise SWT there's nothing they can really do here. They've been quick to get running whatever trains they can making use of the limited capacity in to Waterloo by turning trains at Surbiton, Woking or Basingstoke.

    Evening peak restrictions from Waterloo

    London terminals to Bournemouth. Leaving London hopefully on the 17.05 and returning on the last train back from Bournemouth.

    Evening peak restrictions from Waterloo

    Hi all, sorry for a boring thread - I did a search but couldn't find anything. I'm going to Bournemouth on Tuesday evening - am I right in thinking an off peak day return has no restrictions leaving Waterloo in the peak, only the super off peak has the restrictions?
