    First rolling stock you can remember travelling on?

    For me would have to be the LU 1996 stock on the Jubilee Line. Definitely has one of the most iconic (probably most iconic on the LU) sound of any train. Will be a shame when they're replaced in the 2040s

    Your suggestions for the next Southeastern franchise

    Hopefully Govia lose out on this franchise. The over-padding of services to make PPM look better, poor communication, lack of staff at stations, failing to uphold the franchise agreement, etc. Well overdue. Of course, it's sad that the DfT veto'ed the TfL takeover option for Metro services, but...
