There was an incident on the coastway this evening...not entirely sure where....but it has meant that customers have been stranded at diddy stations for hours on end with not a lot of communication from Southern, by the sounds of things!

The August bank holiday weekend are nailed on strike day/s.

I have been sold a ticket with the wrong rail card on it, from a station ticket office. I queried it, and was told it doesn't matter as the discount is the same.

Morning all. I need to travel from London to Worthing today, from Victoria Southern are only offering the terminals ticket which I do not need. The other option is the cheaper day return. Is this possible to buy, print out at Victoria, but only use the return portion of the ticket?. I don't...

Oh damn. I have a week of travel around the south and London planned for 3-10th December. Bound to be strikes that week! When can strikes be called? I know its two weeks notice, but is it down to the minute? So could a strike be announced for 6th December, or do they have to give two full...

I was on a BOG-LBG service yesterday afternoon! Seems most go to Victoria, by mine went to London Bridge!

Are we going to see any improvements on the West Coast way services? For example, making the Brighton - Southampton service a semi-fast service again, instead of the current all stations to Chichester. Or the same with the Brighton - Portsmouth service These services seem to be rammed...

Thank you all. As it turns out, my friend hasn't actually purchased any tickets yet, so I have advised them to get the day return to brighton and a day return Brighton to London Terminals. No need for a travel card as underground not needed, and they won't need to hang around in the evening...

My friend is traveling from Worthing to London Bridge next Thursday, with two others (so they are purchasing the group save tickets) ... so three travelers in total. They will leave Worthing after 9.30, then change at East Croydon for London Bridge. My friend was complaining that the ticket...

From what I can judge, by reading rags like the Daily Mail is this: 1. Pensioners gleefully accept their 10% increase in pension, because according to them 10% of peanuts is peanuts 2. Train Drivers are overpaid, should be sacked, and rehired on lower salaries. (Even though they're not on...

Can those who work in the rail industry please explain why you have voted to strike rather than action short of a strike, like GTR have done. Surely working to rule and nothing more or less will still cause chaos on the railways, and full pay will be guaranteed as those working to rule will not...

outward was 13th June, I looked at the rover ticket and it was better value to get the flexible split return tickets.

Thank you. Yes, the wording on the restriction is poor. I guess the only question then, is do I catch a HST or IET to Exeter?

thank you for this, but if i get an early afternoon train from Penzance then change at Exeter for Salisbury, would my ticket not be void as the swr train would call at Clapham junction after 15:59 and before 19:01?

The original plan was to take the 14.50 from Penzance, however I would like to catch an earlier train if possible…. My ticket is the return portion of a super off peak return, the combination is Penzance to Plymouth restriction code w3, Plymouth to Axminster, valid via honiton, restriction...

I have been sold tickets from the ticket office with the wrong railcard on it in the past, ie the ticket had a 16 to 25 railcard applied, when it should have been 26 to 30. I questioned this, the ticket officer said it was fine as the discount was the same

No one should accept real term pay cuts year after year, meaning facing a steady decline in standards of living. It is not a race to the bottom, although the 'Conservative' government thinks it is, and would quite happily have most in the public sector on £9.50 per hour if it thought it could...

The "gatwick express" I got on at Preston park on Wednesday evening, seemed like it was a southern service on Gatwick express stock.... "welcome aboard this service" was on the automated announcements. * It was a very busy train, I imagine the majority onboard would have had tickets voiding use...

Ain't it funny how certain OAP Daily Mail types are the first to whinge about the bank closing, but cannot wait to see their local train station ticket office close permanently....

The Daily Mail comment boards are going to be interesting tonight lol
