    Can someone explain why Euston is the only station with this problem? I've never seen this issue at Victoria or London Bridge. Why don't they just annouce trains 20 mins before?

    Best way to go from Oyster PAYG to travelcard?

    I have about £20 on my Oyster and will be buying an annual travelcard. Obviously I want to use up my balance before I do, but according to my calucations, there's no way to go down to £0, as I'll always have a few quid left. What can I do?

    My intended train was the 0843 arriving at my destination at 0852. I caught the 0849 (left at 0856 and arrived at my destination at 0907). This meant I was 15 mins later then intended. Their replay to my claim

    Delay Repay claims rejected

    Southern have started to clamp down on my claims. Eg: I claimed for the 0843 yesterday ECR - Clapham which left 20 mins late. But it was rejected due to the next train being the 0845 which left at 0852. This didn't use to happen as I could claim for the actual train delay not taking into...

    Looks like a 5 coach on Sunday (for the 10:58), but as it starts at Great Malvern, I should be able to bag a 1st class unreserved seat easily?

    Paddington to Malvern?

    Thanks. On their website it said it was delayed from 10:59 to 14:15. Now the time is back to normal. Strange!

    Paddington to Malvern?

    Also, on https://tickets-beta.railforums.co.uk, it's saying the 10:58 Great Malvern to Paddington exists, but on the GWR website it says it's been cancelled. How long does it take the booking tool to update? Edit: this is this Sunday

    Southern - not given the correct delay repay

    Unfortunately there was a "track circuit failure" which meant there was nothing coming in or out for a while. This meant there was a queue of passengers so I could not get on the first few trains leaving.
