I have to go to a funeral on New Years Eve
The nearest station appears to be Pevenesy and Westham - followed by a bus ride. The wake is in Seaford so would have to come back to Ramsgate via Eastbourne if I attend.
The funeral is at 11.30 which means I'd have to get a train from Ramsgate just...
I have a Disabled RailCard. I provided a copy of my prescription from an audiologist as proof
Would you expect a rail worker to have the knowledge to interpret that
Or understand a prescription for epilepsy medication?
I think that there would be more issues with having to produce the...
Yes. I was interested in how this would work practically
Would anyone inspecting/selling the tickets be qualified to judge the evidence
For example you can send a copy of your dispensing prescription from a hearing aid supplier to support your application. Will they be able to understand and...
Springsteen last year at Wembley was amazing (I've seen him before). Shout out to Wembley Stadium Station staff too. Easy in and out
Used to go to a lot of gigs when I was young but we don't do much these days. Saw The Eagles at the O2 (Before Glenn Frey died). They were stunning - enhanced by...
My usual train
I noticed today (as I was going in the other direction) that it was timetabled to leave at 10.36. I’ve seen this on occasions before. Checking next Tuesday the journey planner has it back at 10.42
There’s obviously a reason but does anyone know what that is?
Little more than...
Think I know the answer to this but just checking
Doing the above return journey. I can get an e ticket but the itinerary includes the walk between Stratford International and Stratford
Given my back this is not an attractive option
I am assuming that the e ticket precludes hopping on the...
As a resident of Ramsgate I found this article particularly interesting
It’s about The Granville Express which used to run from London to Thanet and, apparently, was the first “named” train

Hopefully some kind soul will help me out
Was on the 10.36 Ramsgate to Charing Cross this morning
Because of late running the train was terminated at London Bridge
Due time there was 12.43. We arrived at 12.58 (ish). Can someone point me to where the official time of arrival can be found to...
Thanks everyone
To avoid any hassle I just used the forum site to buy a non split e ticket
That option is still not available on the SouthEastern site o_O
Maybe me but when I try to book this online I can only get a paper ticket
You can get an e-ticket Ramsgate to Eastbourne or Rye so was (idly) wondering what’s different about Three Oaks
Full journey is a return tomorrow with a Disabled Persons Railcard. Off Peak.
It’s easy enough to buy at...
Applied for a Disabled RailCard on Sunday afternoon
Application approved that evening and card received this morning by first class signed for post
Have to say very impressed
About every six weeks I have a pub lunch with an 88 year old friend. He lives in Eastbourne and I in Ramsgate
We usually go to Rye as it’s sort of half way, the trains arrive and leave at the same time and there is a pub very near the station
He is now struggling with the footbridge at Rye...
Had to turn the power off apparently for some time
Trains now starting to run with delays and cancellations due to displaced stock and staff
No trains between Ramsgate and Margate until further notice, though
The information came from the SouthEastern website
I was due to go to Sandwich...
