After leaving Peterborough I have nearly always had my ticket checked going southbound. Also Great Northern do a RPI block in the evening, but I guess they are only interested in passengers using GN routes. I showed them the e-ticket bar code (for Vtec journey) on my phone and they let me through.

There are a few generic messages that I have noticed " There is a fault with the door system, this is being attended to, please do not operate any passenger alarms. Thank you" This gets played when the train is in-between stations and there are delays. This seems to be a common occurrence...

I just wanted to check route validity for a season ticket for Virginia water to Waterloo via weybridge route any permitted. I have had conflicting advice but I spoke to an RPI and he said it was valid but at waterloo was told it was not. Cheers.

Having started to use this line, it is a very busy line. What I don't understand is why so many stops. The train is very full by Egham, and there is standing room only. Even the two RPI that boarded gave up checking tickets as it was physically impossible. I can see now how easy it is to get...

SWT do smartcards. Could my ticket be transferred on to this. At Sunningdale they have readers. Would they open the gates at Waterloo and at green park?

I have had severe problems doing a changeover from Chiltern who issues my zone 1-5 travelcard on an oyster and SWT Chiltern have had lots of new frontline staff, and I have had to go back to Marylebone 4 times to get my changeover down. SWT refused to do it, as they don't do oyster. I now...

Do you think that Surrey and Berkshire are one of the most affluent areas of the country so people that would be commuting in would have very well paid jobs and thus can afford the higher fares?

Was just wondering as Amersham is about 27.9 miles, isn't it about time to extend other stations to the Zonal area to help commuters. I was thinking parts of the SWT franchise and stations such as Sunningdale which are a similar distance, and have similar journey times to the met / chiltern line.

How come these are engineered so that they are much quieter compared to a 165. It sounds as though you are in a coach / bus rather than a train, and you can hear the engine moving up the gears.

I currently have a zone 1-5 Oyster travel-card bought from chiltern in July this year. I will be moving to Virgina Water and want to know how best to proceed as from Waterloo I will need to get to Bermondesy in Zone 2. I anticipate the move from Jan 16 Many thanks

These are Roma gypsies, part of an organised gang. They already get welfare payouts by claiming to be self employed and thus entitled to working tax credits. They should not be approached and you should never give them money under any circumstances!

I travel from Northolt park to Canada water which involves Chiltern and LU. I have been caught out by the Jubilee line on 3 occasions where I have had to find alternative transport as the jubliee line is suspended on the section that I need to use. I have submitted travel compensation from...

How come there is no excess ticket window at waterloo? While I was waiting for my train I noticed barrier staff did not have a mobile ticket machine. Also you were right about the guard, he made several announcements about safety info, and told us when we were leaving the travel card area...

Update I bought the ticket from Marylebone excess ticket window , very quick and efficient. While I was waiting at Waterloo which is a station that I am not familiar with, I went to the ticket office. The queues at the ticket office are massive and only 4 people serving. I think that's very...

I have a zone 1-5 oyster season ticket and need to get a boundary zone 5 to Staines with my network rail card. Waterloo station will be very busy. Can I seek out the guard before the train leaves Zone 5, and get him to sell me the ticket? I can imagine the queues at Waterloo to be horrendous.

LM would be in breach of the sale of goods and services act 1974. Write them a letter, and if they don't refund sue them in your local country court. This should be an easy win.

I often catch this service on different days of the week, and notice that when we get to the Chiltern depot area in Neasden the train decelerates rapidly, and crawls, and sometimes stops at Wembley stadium, but the doors don't open. I cant work out why this would be as the previous train had...

I've always wondered what would be the quickest route going from East to West. On the central line from Newbury Park once you get to stratford there is a dilemma. Do I stay on the central line to Liverpool street Do I take TFL rail / AGA to Liverpool Street. or take the HS1 via the DLR...

I hold a zone 1-5 annual travelcard, which comes with a gold card. Is my ticket valid on the HS1 to St Pancras, as this will save a lot of time on my journey westbound to Wembley from Newbury park.

I have an annual season ticket zone 1-5 with Chiltern and the gold card. I also have a YP rail card. My wife has booked tickets with VTEC, but if she gets a railcard it would pay for itself. Which railcard could she get. I read that it would be £10 for her to get a railcard but not sure...
