You should be used to that with Southern by now :lol::lol::lol:

Didn't realise an extra ten minutes would be such a hardship!!!

I don't know why they are worried about the 27th december for a start, how about the morning after the company/depot christmas party hehe hic!!!! :lol: seriously though you can always drive the car if your that bothered or maybe your afraid that your the whos over the limit!!!

On the Southern 171's on the Uckfield line, the guard both releases and closes the doors, on the Ashford line the driver releases and guard closes

managed 6 of us in the back cab of a 456 on the 0042 out of victoria one night

I was under the impression that with the new deal that the rmt signed that nothing would happen till 2015

London bridge-uckfield is norwood drivers and selhurst conductors Ashford line is all eastbourne

I will give my 2 cents worth, I went to uni, I left in the final year as things happened in my life and I lost all motivation to do what I was studying, I went full time into the catering industry and after getting 6 years experience I got offered a position in the railways, I will say...

They tried to get guards to call control before working from the cabs except because everyone was trying to do so during the peak period no one could get through, that was about 4 years ago though, needless to say that instruction was quickly dropped, control weren't interested anyway they...

The doors are not released or are not meant to be released on crew relief at Norwood junction and you can add the 1508 London bridge to uckfield service in there or at least you could a few years back which also had a driver change, for the record the driver will change at Norwood and conductor...

I'm a little surprised you couldn't find the conductor for the train you boarded at Littlehaven, as you said it was a 12 coach train, only the front 4 coaches will fit the platform there and therefore the conductor could only dispatch from the front 4 coaches, same for the next station at Ifield...

But from a safety point of view, at least if the doors do get released the wrong side, they will only open if a passenger presses the button in the carriage, if the driver actually opens all the doors and someone falls out of a packed train, imagine the headlines, especially if the fast line is...

Well I've been timing my dwell times and pretty much your looking at 30 seconds at most stations from stopping, releasing doors, observing the boarding and alighting process to closing the doors and safely departing. If 30 seconds is too long for the complainers maybe you should put on the white...

Bear in mind that the core route of the ELL has trains running every 3-5 minutes, if one is delayed coming off the main line or off the south london line by even a minute this will have an impact on the following service especially between silwood junction and wapping by it crawling behind it on...

Sounds like someone just trying it on, would have been interesting if you had been able to have scanned her oyster card to see what actually was on it. Reminds me of the time a bloke on my Victoria-Horsham stopper was trying to use a Balham-Epsom weekly to go to Redhill. Caught him just after...

Normally having not in service displayed on the front or sides and back is a good indication

No if you are holding a zonal ticket it will be required to cover all the zones that you are travelling through regardless of whether you are exiting that station or not, therefore if travelling through London bridge you would need a Portslade-London zones 1-6 season ticket. Sounds like the...

Max Speed on the core route of the ELL between Highbury and New Cross Gate is 40mph with a lot of 30, 25 and 20 sections. Now that its 16 trains per hour over that section, the likelihood of being checked down by restrictive signals has greatly increased. On the southern section you will...

I got told it was something to do with the interlocking mechanism, at least thats what it says on the route brief

Why go all the way to Victoria, depending on the Southern route the train takes you could just either get off at West Croydon or change at Sutton
