    Flixbus Discussion

    I also appreciate your efforts to track the opaque workings of the Flixbus machine One small point - your timetables for the 061 refer to 'Sandown Coach Station' in Poole - this should be Seldown Coach Park

    Routes that previously had catering trolleys.

    Doors didn’t open at Finsbury Park and was issued a witness statement receipt

    I had cause to write to GTR a couple of years ago when the doors failed to open (in my carriage at least) at Lewes. The response I received showed no indication they had comprehended the issue, let alone looked into it further with the relevant people / systems.

    Accused of tapping in and out at same station. SWR incompetence?
