Exactly. There will probably be further savings to be had buying a monthly, 3 monthly or annual ticket. For those that can't afford the outlay employers (well mine does) have schemes to loan you the money for the cost of annual pass. Even if your employer doesn't the East Sussex credit union...

I don't have a particular nostalgia for them as before my time although my Uncle/Dad like them and have no passion for diesels. I do enjoy them from an engineering perspective as I have a fascination for lots of mechanical things (not so much cars though). I also enjoy other stuff on heritage...

Is it still two at LCs? I was once told that the reason for the two tones with to distinguish it from car horns.

Thanks BigD :) Am going for the football but if I go via the NUN any standing crush shouldn’t be for too long. At least no stinky khazi voyagers lol Sounds promising ta.

What kind of service should I expect travelling NUN <-> LEI or PBO <-> LEI on a Sunday? (Coming from London looking to swerve the RRB on the MML) Much cancellations/overcrowding the norm?

Get rid of 'em - never found anything worth reading in the metro anyway. :lol: This was the first bus of the day so they were all as pristine as could be.

A new pointless delay this morning, someone messing about trying to pick up a free metro this morning as they left the bus :rolleyes:

Not an issue for me as I walk, bus and train most of the time never had the desire/need to own a car in my life.

I've recently had laser (well lens replacement to be exact) eye surgery :D GL with the course Samzino :)

Personally I'd like to see them introduce road pricing - that should be plenty to pay for the £2 cap.

I wanted to be a train driver at one stage but was told it wasn't possible due to me wearing glasses for shortsightedness, this would have been mid-to-late 80s. I'm pretty sure this isn't the case now as I've seen bespectacled drivers and none of the job adverts on here appear to mention it. Was...

This was at PP, which was mentioned in the post I quoted. I could have made that clearer perhaps :)

I once encountered them when I went to collect a lot of tickets from the machine for a future journey to save time on the day as it was an early start. They begrudgingly allowed me thru in the end.

good to know - thanks Mr Jeeves :)

Hmm, now u mention it could have been a refund :s. But in any case but both the TOCs said it was the others responsibility. Another reason I prefer to buy from the TOC providing the service it usually gives you a better interface when it comes to seat selection if a reservation is required...
