    Appealing penalty fare chances

    FWIW I've had an appeal granted on these grounds, although I did have 5 minutes not 4. I quoted the penalty fare charter documents which suggested queues shouldn't be longer than 5 minutes during peak times. Had I known what I do now though, and known the timetable a lot better, I'd have just...

    Extra Bournemouth to Southampton trains today

    Odd, I've never seen them do it that way. I've always had to wait on the platform till the back half turns up from Weymouth. Well, there's the thing, they're only going as far as Southampton, so not all that useful for anyone on a longer trip. I suppose they're hoping to get some locals on...

    Extra Bournemouth to Southampton trains today

    Plenty of seats in coach 3! Guess no-one was prepared to move down a bit, the platform was a little quieter up at the london end past the subway. I'd imagine the priority was to get the 1650 back on time, stopping at CHR and TTN would delay it even further and the 1706 would be at those...

    Extra Bournemouth to Southampton trains today

    They're running again this weekend. Odd they're not announced anywhere, used the trains last Sunday aswell and didn't even notice they'd been added.

    The Great Circular European Railway Challenge

    Oh god, I can't remember! I seem to remember they did, but come to think of it I'm not entirely sure and my memory could be playing tricks on me. It was a bit cold and wet that day so I don't think I even tried. It does have a window in the vestibule door at the back so you can watch the track...

    The Great Circular European Railway Challenge

    Ploce to Split right? Just got back from a trip out there, did Sarajevo as a day trip on the train from Mostar and then got a bus from there to Split. That site seems to miss out a few busses sometimes... it helps to guess where the busses are coming from and input that instead and check the...

    preserved slam door in Clap Junc sidings today

    Saw it pass through Southampton wednesday evening at about 17.40. Now I've remembered to check it's now dropped off realtimetrains; anyone know where it was going?

    SNCF Tickets

    That 10h03 was written on the ticket, and the 09h13 train wasn't the 10h03. My french isn't good enough to have found out anything more than that.

    SNCF Tickets

    To follow this up, it wasn't valid on the earlier train. They didn't let me use it on the 09.13 so I had to hang around and get the 10.03.

    London to Bournemouth (11th May-12th May)

    And if you're using Oyster to get to Waterloo in the first place it's a little cheaper to continue on Oyster to Clapham anyway which'll require getting off to touch out.

    SNCF Tickets

    Hmm, if it's only 10% on day of departure I could choose the 10.03 and then if I get there on time just amend it to the 9.13. Last time round I got to the station at 8.50, and that was with a bit of a delay leaving the boat. However, translation errors aside, this seems to confirm that aslong...

    SNCF Tickets

    I'm looking at heading over to Paris over the Bank Holiday, getting a ferry to Le Havre, and SNCF from there. As I'm getting the ferry the train out needs to be flexible, and I'm a bit confused on the options. Looking to use these timings: Sa 4th 09.14 Le Havre -> 11.40 Saint Lazare Mo 6th...

    Lost Oyster

    I recently lost my card with a gold card discount on it. They couldn't transfer this to a replacement card so all they could do was issue a cheque for the credit (at no charge), and then I had to obtain a new card myself to replace it. So essentially a cost of £5 for the deposit. Normal adult...

    Considering Vilnius for a Winter Break....

    Trakai Island Castle is a short train trip. The timings aren't that great though, I got a bus out and then the train back as the bus was quite a bit more frequent. Can't remember the cost right now but it wasn't much, somewhere around a pound or two. Otherwise you could go to Kaunas but it's...

    Weather-Related Disruption (Dec 2012)

    Ah... think I might get one of the busses then! Was holding out for trains starting up again... a bit hopeful though as it hasn't stopped raining yet.

    Weather-Related Disruption (Dec 2012)

    SWML closed at Sway again, SWT have been pretty quick to lay replacement busses on. eta: although I didn't actually look to see if there actually were any buses. Took my bike back home and having a look at twitter now it's quite possible there might not be any...
