    395s WiFi fitment

    The other week, an On Board Manager apologising for the short form of the train said that a 395 was having WiFi fitted. I travelled on the 07:36 Ashford to St Pancras this morning in the leading car and on the ceiling, adjacent to the universal toilet, was a small off white dome. Could this be a...

    Ashford - Victoria service 18/09/2016

    Does anyone know why Southeastern were running a fast Ashford - Victoria service calling at Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Bromley South only today?

    395 fun at Ashford this morning

    Due to Stagecoach not being able to run a bus service to timetable I missed the 09:13 to St Pancras this morning so I had to catch the 09:43.... The 09:43 is a little odd as it's formed of the rear six coaches of the ECS 08:46 5J16 STP to AFK and the 08:51 1J21 MAR to STP. 5J16 arrives at...
