This is poor from Southern, for the west coastway, who's services are already busier than most, and an even worse schedule than the Dec arrangements. No Brighton - Hove Shuttles, no direct trains to Portsmouth or Southampton. No west worthing stoppers. Can only go as far west as Chichester...

Thought something was up last night walking over the South Farm Road level crossing at Worthing station, a Portsmouth Harbour bound train was sat in the Platform, and when I returned 20 minutes later in the opposite direction, the same unit was still in the Platform. Heard a barrage of sirens...

If it were me I would pay the £117 and be done with it. You won't win a costly court case It is your responsibility to make sure you have the correct ticket/ticket type before you travel.

I have noticed that Goring-By-Sea (West Coastway) of all places, has one.

The onus is now on the Irish to resist this tyrannical nonsense by not wearing a muzzle. but I can’t see that happening unfortunately!

Johnson may not bring in more restrictions because: 1. He needs to be different to Dripford in Wales and the wee kranky in Scotland 2. He will face an even bigger rebellion by his back benchers. (I suspect the revolt last week was because those who voted against the new diktats are more upset...

Ivermectin, if indeed it is effective against COVID (and I suspect it is) will never be available in the UK as a covid treatment. Government is too far up the big pharma trough. Ivermectin is cheap and very easy to make. No good for big pharma. What might happen though is that an organisation...

The regime plans to fine mask "refuseniks" up to £200 on the spot. Article is behind a paywall. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/11/28/mask-refusniks-face-200-fines-ministers-warned-new-covid-rules/

It is proof the regime made a political rather than a scientific decision to re impose mandatory masks in shops and public transport, but not hospitality.

Let's all be thankful for now that we are not under full implementation of plan b (yet) because of 1. NI hike breaking manifesto pledge 2. "Temporarily" scrapping the triple lock on pensions, breaking manifesto pledge 3. Various sleaze scandals 4. Social Care scandal 5. Peppa Pig nonsense If...

I shan't be complying this time. I won't wear a mask on public transport or in a shop. The only way to get rid of this authoritarian nonsense is to not comply. Sadly there are far too many sheep, and the majority will continue complying, (for the sake of complying) although I suspect there will...

Urgh, the Brighton-Hove Shuttles have been ditched, which means I have a 6 minute connection at Preston Park to go to Brighton. And if, like the other week, the London bound train that stops at Preston Park is even slightly delayed, I then miss the connection at Preston park as there is not...

Pre Covid there was a point where I was going from Littlehampton to Victoria regularly with Southern. It was one of the first off peak trains of the day, and by Worthing, the entire 4 coaches were full and standing. We were all crammed in like sardines until Haywards Heath, by which time an...

Got a feeling that the weekday and Saturday timetable has the 313s replacing the 377s on Brighton to Portsmouth runs, it leaves Brighton on the hour. Although I think there were some 377s last week working Portsmouth & Southsea to Victoria via Hove instead of via the Arun Valley Line, as the AV...

I've got a 26-30 card. Only available on the app. Really wish they'd have the physical cards like for the 16-25 railcard. I don't know why they don't make them physically available. Had a blonde moment the other week when I was on a southern service out of Brighton heading along the East...

From memory: Brighton to Hove Hove to Brighton Bognor to Littlehampton Littlehampton to Bognor Littlehampton to Portsmouth & Southsea or Harbour Portsmouth & Southsea or Harbour to Littlehampton Brighton to Lewes Lewes to Brighton Brighton to Seaford Seaford to Brighton edit. they are also...

Anyone know which passenger services have the most change of ends for a driver?

Slightly off topic.... But I wish LNER would put refreshments back in the 1st class lounges!

Am traveling Brighton to Edinburgh 2nd August..... Looking forward to the announcement from LNER whilst going at 100+mph in the middle of nowhere, "please put on your muzzle" as we cross the England/Scotland border into Scotland. I shan't be wearing a muzzle on any part of the journey. It...

So all legal restrictions will go on 19t July which is good.....but they'll be back in the autumn I'm pretty sure of that. I'm also going to Edinburgh in the first week of August, at the moment it seems the wee dictator of Scotland will keep restrictions going there past the first week of August
