Someone's been at the Toilet Duck...

Handsfree not illegal yet.. I can talk and watch the road at the same time :) Also travel by train - just claim expenses Travel by car.. Claim mileage..heated leather seats, automatic gearbox, decent sound system.. Radio 4 and Smooth FM. Not bothered by delays as I drive to Luton at the...

3 hours to Luton yesterday and just over an hour and a half back.. Mainly due to the accident at Junction 21 on the M25. Sitting in the car I was able to have a few meetings via handsfree phone.. Was nice and warm and comfortable..

The drive has taken me between 1 hour 30 and 1 hour 50 so far.. I've done it before on a normal day and it's been around about these times as well.. The added benefit is that I've not had to walk to the bus stop and wait for a bus to the train station and do the same and the other end. The...

Ah that explains it :)

Presumably the 07.04 Gatwick Express must overtake the 07.00 departure from Gatwick to Bedford at some some point north of Gatwick? There always seems to be a couple of minutes difference between the Gatwick Express going through East Croydon and the Thameslink service arriving. As the...

It's not the funding... Jeremy Hunt has been on a battle to screw over the very doctors who staff the 24/7 NHS.. Those NHS staff who are on these anti social hours contracts can simply join a locum agency and do the same job they were doing for the NHS under a fixed term contract for very large...

A lot of times the train seems to get held to allow other services to go past.. Without fail the Gatwick Express will go through East Croydon just a few minutes before the Thameslink service. When it is running late it does see to take a lot longer to get past Tulse Hill and a lot of service...

That's the of the reasons I've given up.. It's just been crazy at East Croydon along with the strike days. The staff at Luton Airport have been very nice, when I told them I had to keep the ticket for delay repay they were very sympathetic.. Can't blame them for the terrible service. My fellow...

You know what.. I've finally given up with Thameslink or trying to catch tiheir trains from East Croydon to Luton Airport parkway 3 times a week to get to my head office.. Previously it would be.. Get to East Croydon, hope the 07:23 train was running, watch 3 minutes at a time get added on to...

Completely.. No incentive to run any sort of service.. Like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank.

Oh dear delayed again.. Only 28 minutes and counting so far.. Quick question if anyone can answer. From East Croydon to Luton Airport parkway. Have a zone 1 to 6 oyster season and boundary Zone 6 to Luton Airport parkway peak day return. Should I be able to claim for entire journey or just the...

Here you go.. :wink: Page 3 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/306997/brighton-main-line-interim-report.pdf

Not on the commuter service, it's first come, first served (hmm hmm) A lot of the 'metro' services have no first class at all and some of the old Thameslink trains first class seems to always be declassified. They must be making some revenue from first class though.. All you seem to get extra...

I don't think so.. Just the bigots and nutjobs are becoming more vocal..

Haven't seen the revenue protection officers for quite a while either... Last time I bumped into one of them was around September...

It doesn't matter obviously the bag (the luggage) had a greater need than a mother and baby. How dare one of those common people who she usually employs to clean her armpits try and sit next to her.. and with one of their offspring...euggghhhhhhh!!!

I thought that was rude older woman? I would also have hoped that most people would have paid to sit in any of the carriages.. :wink: Interestingly enough there weren't any announcements on the TL train this afternoon southbound about declassification..

sigh.. First class was declassified because of the strikes.

Which other woman... There was only the mother and Mrs Entitled in video? If some of those who want to travel first class want to be closeted from the rest of humanity I suggest they invest in a horse and carriage
