£5.56/mile when you're on the Anytime Return

Market Harborough to where, sorry? Fratton to Portsmouth & Southsea, I'm making that 0.83 miles (78.5-77.15km) £2.50 return. £1.51 per mile each way

I sit taking up two spots, a passenger gives a dirty look and stands in the aisle next to the set of seats I am on. So, I adjust myself to be in one seat, smile to the person and pat the seat next to me. They give me another dirty look, and continue to stand in the aisle next to the set of...

I thought it was time based on Southern. I've heard it at Emsworth as the train (which was shown as 1 minute late) was coming to a stand at the platform.

Yeah, that's the one. Sounded like "Ribena" It was nice to see those signs - don't seem to get stuff like that down round where I am.

I saw one while I was at Ribena, waiting (and waiting) from a train to Cardiff last year. Railway guy on the platform who was advising everyone not to bother waiting, and to get a bus, said it was because the line ended not much further up. It had an AWS ramp as well, with an ignore AWS board...

Being on the line in a green topped hivis? "PTS" has a totally different meaning in the ambulance world; I doubt it would be at all relevant to being lineside. Travelling without a ticket? Aiding and abetting someone else to fare evade? Isn't a scoop stretcher too long to fit in the NRCoC...

That's a load of legroom they've given you. Grumble grumble poor design grumble custcutting Joke

I was told that a season only pays for itself if you do just over 5 return journeys a week (Gold cards notwithstanding) Guess there's a distance thing involved as well (that statement was for a fairly short distance)

Aren't trams 750DC overhead? How does that compare with 3rd rail from the physics point of view?

Was it due to a fault? Perhaps there was an issue with train crew (end of shift/hours/sickness) which meant that they had to stop at Surbiton and there was no relief available?

Because the council only want to invest in their pet projects, leaving everything else a victim to mismanagement. Let's invest a load of money into the privately owned Pyramids centre. Let's leave the pier to ruin. Let's close most of the public conveniences Let's have Obama over for DDay...

If it was a situation where you either had to change ends inside, or outside with live tracks (in either sense), wouldn't inside be the safer?

10/10 for effort, and the FGW twitter team at least has a sense of humour. Maybe this team does as well? Is that a real thing, or could it perhaps be a fake?
