    This morning went pretty well! That said the train I get, 0548 from Brighton, was much busier than it eve used to be. People standing from three bridges. Red hill folk must be very sad.

    Conductor punched at Blackpool South Wed 14 Jan

    Brighton station ticket office

    Anyone know what going on here? Actual opening hours don't match advertised and appear not to for over a year... Is there any mechanism to enforce ticket office opening hours/ performance?

    Fatality at Kidsgrove 22/09/14

    I was on preston park train. Driver apologised for situation.. Weird things people say when in shock. Driver was rescued very quickly by a colleague and walked down platform. Poor guy. Grim to say the least.
