North Kent/London Boundary (Gravesend, Ebbsfleet, Dartford) Medway Towns (Rainham to Strood) Basingstoke is a good candidate too

I will happily be forced off a train by an officer, because I've then got an authority figure stood in front of me with a direct line the TOCs control room. I wouldn't do enough to be arrested and as I said the BTP aren't exactly based locally to 90% of the UK stations so callout times can vary...

Well for one, I now have learnt now not to trust a train crew late at night when they try to detrain me at a station, I will be sticking to my guns to know when the onward transport is going to turn up, and demand that they wait with me on a warm train in the platform until this transport...

Short term replacement of class 68s and mk4s on Chiltern makes sense to negate some if the noise issues plaguing Marylebone residents, and maybe a few for the inappropriate 165s they occasionally use on London to Birmingham runs (when they aren't on local stoppers) but long term I expected XC to...

I think your only challenge is always gonna be a revenue block on the platform at Reading (exceptionally unlikely) where they see you alighting from a 1st class door with a standard ticket. I know, you know, we all know that revenue blocks at Reading are easier and safer on the overbridges or...

Yes, Mr Marshall picked up on such an abnormality because Plumstead is a mixed modal NR fare and Abbey wood is XR/TFL fare already in the system a bit early

As a regular user, you get to know your trains and your stations, you know which carriage and which platform you'll normally enter in at! And this is the issue it becomes tribal and territorial in a commuters application of their journey. Placing 1st at one end or the another of a train is also...

It's just a friendly name change, they can enforce other bylaws and face mask wearing too. Making them sound exclusively revenue focused makes them look bad I guess 1638792008 You say Maidstone East I say Maidstone West and Barracks too, that whole Medway Valley Line is a revenue blackhole, I...

So for weeks now Dover Priory is being seen a low hanging fruit for 'as you call them RPIs' but they are Railway Enforcement Officers or REOs. They regularly have 3 or 4 REOs (No BTP) manning the barriers most afternoons/evenings catching large swathes of ticketless passengers, from the vast...

So on the topic of unauthorised holds, has anyone ever felt the need to help out a fellow passenger? Helping someone who you can see running full tilt over a bridge to catch the train you've just jumped on or been on for any length of time? Or a elderly person who trying to make the same...

That's the slowest I think I've seen anything moving on the Ashford HS1 bypass viaduct.

Was on a class 395, between Medway and Margate, a loveable rogue gets on with a mobility scooter, creates havoc and holds the train up as in reality the scooter was too big, anyway during the journey he gets loud and says f**k it I'm off for a fag, and off he pops and stands between the 2...

Class 170 to Edinburgh Gateway

Well that's my Network Railcard purchased, I wish I could move it to the railcard app by using the download code option, rather than The Trainline who I really can't stomach, I suppose it'll have to do, £15 off a railcard is £15 off with added annoyance with the TL app.

OSI to Glasgow Queen St Class 385 to Stirling

Sadly as stated the 67 was tucked in there Taken at Paddock Wood

Class 221 to Milton Keynes Central

Class 158 to Shotton
