My Gold Card (Hove<>Worthing) is £1,496 ... plus the bargain £250 for an annual Brighton & Hove PlusBus! Most expensive walk-up fare was when I had to go to Manchester in 2012 and no Advances were available at the times I needed to travel. ~£90 for a SVR was bit painful - maybe I should have...

I agree. This was my view when a similar thing happened to my parents last year, and I persuaded them to get the tickets changed. We were all travelling to Southampton Central to go on a cruise, and went down to the station (Hassocks) the day before to book. My ticket was issued correctly...

I'm pretty sure it is, even though Network Rail manage the station overall. The Low Level platforms t/office is Merseyrail.

I have only managed part of the West Croydon-Wimbledon line - I have definitely done West Croydon to Waddon Marsh, and I might have gone a bit further as well, but I'd need to think about it; Addiscombe to Elmers End (in that direction only: walked from East Croydon to Addiscombe, then returned...

Like Birchgrove, Hagley had its first self-service ticket machine installed in 2013. (In both cases, incidentally, they have a Shere FASTticket machine!)

At the back end of last year, I fell sideways off my chair in the office while trying to untangle my rucksack strap from the leg :oops: I thought it would be a good idea to lift the chair and sort of bounce it up and down to jiggle the strap free - while I was still sitting on it! Of course...

It was a 377 today (in fact I think that service always operates with a 377, because it goes on to form a Southampton service on the return journey as Sarahj says above and 313s aren't used on Southampton services, IIRC). It certainly looked busy, and I know there are always lots of people...

Nasty; hope those responsible will be punished (it looked like police had managed to intercept and deal with it, happily).

Does anybody know what happened on the West Coastway this morning? Eastbound chaos when I arrived at Hove just after 0800, although westbound was fine; apparently there was a disturbance on a train at Lancing, and police were called. Sure enough, as we passed through Lancing at 0815 there was...

Yes, you get a separate PlusBus ticket coupon with the two-coupon return rail ticket.

The Downlander offers travel on various buses in the South Downs area (rather broadly considered!): principally the Brighton & Hove 12/12A/13X between Brighton and Eastbourne, various East Sussex Council "Rider" routes in the Seaford area, and the Cuckmere Community Buses which operate various...

Down here in Hove, it became Peacocks.

The only non-Southern-issued Daysave I have in my collection was issued from a S&B machine at Fratton and is a two-coupon ticket issued to the notional destination ANY SOUTHN TRAIN. Ticket type is SN DAYSAVE 1 and validity code is DS.

Shere SMART starts at 90 and goes upwards, except for the terminals operated by Virgin Trains which start at 01. Another exception was London Victoria: when the 14 APTIS positions were replaced with 14 SMARTs, they were numbered 84-97. Terminals installed subsequently (e.g. two XS fares...

Perfect - thanks!

Hello all, As a collector and researcher of modern (APTIS and later) rail tickets, I've found a lot of very useful info on this forum - so I've finally signed up after lurking for ages :) Hopefully a simple question for my first contribution. Since APTIS days (and earlier), tickets have...
