Is it really as warped as this: Google

The revised timetable seems to be mostly a success according to RTT, most services are running through albeit with a few minutes delay. I might take a trip from Basingstoke to Woking and back and video the slue section.

Last week I needed to get from Reading to Tottenham Court Road, the ability to just use the same train from Reading never ever came into the question. Took a fast train to Paddington and changed. Same on the way back.

Nothing showing on RTT, they usually do.

My point was, usually during weekend engineering works, SWR usually operates a RRB service, why not this weekend?

Notice today there is no shuttle service running and also no replacement bus service either.

Generally Barton Mill sidings are being used as short time parking. At the moment an Exeter serve (which was 30 minutes late) is just parked at P3 and will leave there to return to Exeter.

Just watched via diagram, 2L33 (Woking - Basingstoke) do its thing. So it arrives at Farnborough on the DS and stops at P2. It then leaves towards Baskinstoke and is switched immediately to the DF and it stops. Presumably the driver then walks through the train to the other end. It then move...

I decided to go from Basingstoke into London via Reading, as my GWR was just about leave I saw a SWR on its way to Waterloo. I counted only a handful of passengers on board. My train to Reading was quite full.

Bugger. I'm planning to travel from Basingstoke to Waterloo on Monday (and also Friday), I haven't done this journey for a couple of months! Looks like I might be going via Reading. If I have to do that I might as well go to Paddington, as it's quicker.

Fair enough, my experience was mostly from the motoring side of things. However too be able to attempt to get a "deal" from the TOC prosecutor, does that mean the SJPN has to proceed to an actual court date?

If the process has moved to the SJPN timeframe it usually too late to be getting a settlement with the TOC.

So I was waiting at Basingstoke platform 3 yesterday for the 17:35 to London Waterloo, a train arrived at 17:25 which I first assumed must be a different train but the departure board was saying the 17:35 was due next. Sure enough it was my train and this made be wonder how it made up so much...

Although I live near Reading I can't ever recall going west from the station (except for the mile or so to get to the Reading - Basingstoke line).

If you had limited data, wouldn't you have connected to the SWR WiFi anyway. It can be a bit flakey but should be good enough.

RTT says it was a pair of 158's and that first and standard class were available.

Now sitting at platform 12, can just be seen on the Crewe Railcam.

One of the reasons I have a regular SIM with one provider and an eSIM with another.

Manchester Victoria - Salford Central - Manchester Oxford Road

There's been one cancelation but otherwise inbound services seem to running OK.
