It could be possible that not everyone is returning on the same journey. Let's suggest one of the adults was returning on their own the day before the others. In that case, the discount would not apply.

What about the short length of track beneath the A228 roundabout just south of Halling, Kent. It was constructed to serve a nearby quarry and isn't attached to any line, but remains extant.

Do you have access to SE intranet? The types of dispatch and the dispatch arrangements for each station are there. Out of interest, which depot will you be based at?

I don't own a dog and nor do I wish to, but in my experience the vast majority of dogs on trains keep put of the way and snooze through the journey. I've yet to meet a canine that plays loud music, leaves litter everywhere or is downright anti social.

Another one for the Advertising Standards Authority. Prices don’t seem particularly ‘galactic’. I did switch to Greatist Hits when Ken Brucemaster moved, but I just can’t do with all the adverts so I’m back with Radio 2 now!

Also operated in 2021 - I was conductor on a couple of them. Here’s the service at Ramsgate on 16 June 2021.

The Midland Bullman - surely?

Meopham on the Chatham main line pronounced as 'Meppum'

That is a good idea. I’ve never seen that on any the ticket stock I have used.

I usually work commuter trains that are quite full and are 8 to 12 cars long. I can expect to sell 15 to 20 tickets on a 2 hour journey. I know which locations have TVMs that are out of service and at least 2 of of them get vandalised as soon as they are repaired. If I had to explain the rules...

Most types of railcard have some kind of type restriction. On them, presumably to encourage users to avoid the morning peak. Of course, you're specifically querying the £12 minimum fare. I guess this is to avoid commuter use and a season ticket may be better value. Incidentally, the £12 minimum...

I've got a pair of unofficial ones for the kiddies tickets - one punches out a snowman (ideal for this time of year). The other is an elephant so I play 'guess the animal' with the nippers.

Did anyone ever take notice of Tufty, Charlie Says, Joe and Petunia, the Green Cross Man et al and pay attention from an early age? Or was that just me?

Unfortunately too many announcements just become white noise.

I thought fares were supposed to be being simplified, not made ten times more complicated! The maxim ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ springs readily to mind!

Johnny Brown is a live wire, grass is green it grows in the earth. This has stuck on mind for 45 years now!

Yes indeed, they never think to do that.

Not always easy to have your eyes everywhere. However, I recently worked 8 carriages between Canterbury West and Ramsgate. Next stop Sturry, short platform, only front 4 doors open. Upon departure from Sturry I meet a ticketless passenger in the 7th carriage stating he got on at Sturry. I point...
