The diagrams are mostly Waterloo to Weybridge via Hounslow with a couple of Hounslow loop peak workings. Four out of seven all day workings on this route are 458/4...
You need to book in advance - so (call or email) IOM Ferries yourself, they will want your ticket number. Before buying the ticket check on line that foot passenger tickets are available. Note that RailSail is also valid (same price) via Liverpool - here again you need to reserve.

It's not the railway, it's a third party website. I've overheard staff telling customers who had purchased erroneously on the Trainline, that if they had bought their ticket from a TOC website or booking office, staff are duty bound to help them, but could not with third party providers...
but contactless via Tfl is off peak if you tap in (where ever you start) before 0630. Presumably this will apply to all those outer London suburban stations now being fitted for contactless too.
You can go from Wokingham to Alton by walking between North Camp and Ash Vale (as well as by train via Ash and Aldershot, which takes longer). One of the first waivers to the routing guide.

as did the 2SAPs used on Windsor/Weybridge services for some years. BILs (and later CORs) were used on the Reading (and Aldershot) line until replaced by CIGs and VEPs (all of which had toilets).
Only 5 car routes were planned to be the likes of Ascot to Farnham and Guildford to Aldershot. Part of the issue with the cabs was that 2* 5 car had to be effectively identical to a 10 car in platform postioning.
Service status alerts for Underground and Overground, along with calling points, individual coach loading etc. all appear on the transverse screens above the door areas (i.e. so that they can be seen by the whole coach).
I'm pleased to say that the trial seems to have been stopped in that escalators have been going up and down at both ends (normally two up at the bank of 3) on recent visits later in the day.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
