I don't suppose you know a video for a driver POV on Eurostar that goes through the station, do you?

Oh wow! I didn't know Ebbsfleet had an east and west junction.

I've seen them once at Welling station, my old haunt and once on the DLR where I had forgotten to tap in. Luckily I was getting off at the next stop anyway. The only other example I have was on a train from Truro to London Paddington where an inspector asked me for my ticket. I did have my...

Hi all, I live near Ebbsfleet International and on occasion I go to the station just to have a cuppa tea, soak up the atmosphere and watch the trains pass. Being the strange person that I am I am delighted when I see a Eurostar train race by on the tracks before because, as the Eurostar no...

Hi all, On my journey home last Friday I saw a label on a Thameslink service saying its top speed is 100 MPH. I was wondering at what point would a Thameslink train need to go that fast and do they ever do so on a regular basis? Same question for Southeastern trains as I occasionally take...

so I brought the wrong ticket?

Thameslink? Yeah but I took Southeastern High speed as I thought it would be quicker. Looking at national rail app I can confirm that it is but only by five minutes…

Hi all, When I started commuting regularly to university and later to my various jobs over the years in London my parents would always warn me about ticket inspectors on the trains. Occasionally I've heard stories of friends of friends who have been caught out by an inspector while traveling...

Hi all, Today I thought I'd try a new route home. Rather than taking the Thameslink train from London St Pancras to Swanscombe which takes about an hour I decided to get the Southeastern High Speed service to Gravesend and then double back on myself. I'm not actually sure if I saved time or not...

Thank you for that detailed answer. It's strange to think that the train I get into work everyday used to be steam hauled all those years ago...

I’ll keep you updatedZ Previously I’ve received £20 (ish) from Southeastern for previous journey cancellation. I submitted my claims this morning and the Thameslink website says it will take about 14 working days to process. 1750453831 Award Amount: £20.50 That’s for the homeward journey. No...

Ah I see. Very interesting.

Hi all, I don't have a photo or video of my own so please see the Youtube video below. Does anyone know what purpose this platform serves at 09:50? It's between Farringdon and King's Cross but trains don't stop there. The only other things I can see of note are a Travelodge above the blue...

Hi all, For the first time in six months I was finally able to view the plaques of the old locomotives at Dartford station. My train was rerouted into platform one and stopped opposite the plaques and I was able to snap a couple of quick photos although I admit they're not the best. Please see...

Ah I see. Okay, thank you. I’ll submit two claims in the morning one for the inward journey and one for the outward.

I can go back and check (I texted someone when I was on the train so I can work out the exact time from there) but it's one delay, yes?

I ended up taking tube to Charring Cross and a Gravesend Train from there. I must have reached Swanscombe around 7pm.

Yes, delay repay, sorry. Thank you for the advice. My logic (although I admit it is flawed) is that I intended to catch the 17:02 and when that was cancelled I intended to catch the 17:32 and so on. I assume that won't work? My journey was delayed by two hours but thankfully the train came...

Just my Southeastern annual key card. It does allow me on Thameslink trains but unclear how the refund policy works.

Hi all, I was planning on getting refund on several train journeys I attempted to make today. 08:06 from Swanscombe to London St Pan 17:02 from London St Pan to Swanscombe 17:32 from London St Pan to Swanscombe 18:02 from London St Pan to Swanscombe My question is, am I able to claim against...
