Third rail might be old tech but ole does have a problem especially when recovering pass which seems to be way down the priorities in these events. Tell RAIB the concerns re 3rd rail are noted but pass come 1st. The trains might not go as fast but 3rd rail gets you there. HS2 going at speed...

Arr at Farringon, see no through trains. Get to Pad and was lucky to hear announcement saying go to Plat 10 fot Liz train and made it. Info dissemination is not great, could not the driver had made an announcement as train in auto mode. You cannot help defective track but info you can.

At Hastings now at 21.40. Just seen at Gatwick Express unit heading for Ore. A booked duty or an odd turn up

Years ago there would have been people in control who had the bigger picture, not now, keep all services rolling to time and ignore the subtleties of the job, keeping the pass happy.

Until it was pointed out to them recently the bus stops isolated by cycle lane were all shown on Live Bus Arrivals as having no service due to some excuse. One bus stop by the flyover designated as a new 468 stop did not have route plate attached. The buses managed Katherine St ok. Cycle lane...

Better protect the bottom line than run a service. BR may have had crap sandwiches (which I doubt) but at least they tried, come rain or snow.

What does slow down progress is the passenger who won't tap on until the gate has shut after the passenger in front.

Does not seem to allow you to book Boundary of Zone 6 to say Brighton? Also why does it list rail companies to book a ticket for a journey when you may not know what companies serve station? Thanks

Just found a leaflet dated March 94 from Dft. Tiltle "Franchising of Rail Passenger Services". Extracts: I am aware a lot of water has gone under the bridge and other changes but were these aims ever achieved in a noticeable way?

Apologies- times are shown, but in miniscule typeface.

Now you mention it no times shown to journies end on the lateral line.

On another timetable matter following SL6 updates in the South Norwood area, I notice that the 196 TT no longer lists many roads southbound with bus stops such as Stanley Halls no longer shown. On the 468 all the intermediate southbound roads have gone apart from Thornton Heath roundabout...

Surely if the super loop is intended to introduce a superior passenger experience, how does calling the X68 SL6 benefit users? It is a niche route with a time table not like any other loop routes. I assume it is to pander to the TFL ego that they have created a super system. I wonder how many...

Has TFL made any commemts officially yet? On 1038 now to T4, but no comments re this problem at PADD mainline. No announcements at Faringdon today re service disruption. At least the driver at Padd said go to mainline to see if onward services available which was good.

Thanks

I am purchasing tomorrow so will go with any permitted I think. Thanks all.

I have searched the Forum for the question which I know has been discussed before but cannot find thread. Apologies. Going to Brighton from East Croydon. Are Southern tickets accepted on Thameslink and vice versa or do your need to specify any permitted route? Thanks

Another thing is always turn up early to start prep, as time always seems to disappear quickly. A quick face wash before leaving shed helps, remember you can always put the coal on but you cannot take it off, if you get my drift, and if available a bacon butty or similar always fires up the...

At Pad main line at 1039. Liz line staff saying no trains which is not that correct as gwr departure board shows a liz stopper from plat 11 to Heathrow, 10.24 delayed, awaiting to see if it goes. Also Liz staff not drawing attention to reading stoppers which serve STL etc. On move at 1042.

I think this thread reinforces the fact in GB we cannot even now design a fool proof bog door or the gene pool is going down the pan.
