    A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

    I had a random WhatsApp phone call the other day which I declined as I didn't know the number. It was from Mali. No idea if it was a scam but I wasn't going to answer.

    Trains skipping stations when they are less than 5 minutes late

    Would infrequent be classes as any service that runs hourly or less or would it be 2 hourly or less?

    Chiltern Recovers £400,000 of Evaded Revenue

    Maybe the question could have been, what would they have had to cut, had they not had the revenue.

    Chiltern Recovers £400,000 of Evaded Revenue

    Are they subject to FOIs? I thought they wouldn't be as they are a private firm.

    Chiltern Recovers £400,000 of Evaded Revenue

    Good for them. I'm not aware of all guards doing this and they should do. It should be mandatory so that people can be caught and honest people are not.

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    I disagree. Many a time I don't have fast enough mobile data if any at all to do any work. The latest one was on the Eurostar from St Pancras to Lille in France. In the end I gave up. 1709730100 There was shuttle services between Guildford and Woking. Some were shown in the National Rail...

    Why it's a good thing that safety has vastily improved since then.

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    I'd forgotten this. I note that some early morning trains from or via Woking are cancelled or diverted. I'm not surprised by this. The 04:30 iz running via Stains and stopping additionally there and as it is a one off service, they have a rail replacement bus running from 03:56 to Clapham...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    After the 18:45 London Waterloo to Portsmouth Habour service departed, there wasn't another cast service via Guildford until the 21:00. I see that one was allowed to call at additional stations south of Guildford, but not Clapham Junction.

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    Thanks, now corrected. I often travel along that line, so had a dyslexic moment.

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    So would only one line need to be cautioned when an object is struck or would both lines be cautioned at the same place? The 20:45 London Waterloo to Haslemere had a guard but no driver and they couldn'y get hold of control. I'm sure they are run off their feet today. I see the train is now...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    If one train strikes an object, wouldn't other trains be cautioned or is it a case of different line? I don't know the full picture though so I'm just wondering generally as opposed to thus perticular incident. It seems there will be trains from Milford as rhe 20:45 service to Haselmare is...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    So having spoken to some staff, no fast trains are running from Clapjam Junction today. I guess they mean from now on as dome rsn earlier. I saw a fast train go through Clapham Junction platform 7 without stopping. This morning some trains to Alton diverted via Cobham and Guildford but nothing...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    Interestingly around 19:20, the 19:45 London Waterloo to Haslemere service was shown as running. Now it's cancelled. I wonder if yhe 20:45 will cancelled around 20 minutes before departure. Must be a busy and maybe even stressful day for the control and people working on the journey planner...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    The other thing you can see during disruption like this is all the station changes that staff made and then cancel. They show up in thr Natiobal Rail Enquiries app. In this case they had decided a train would run to Clapham Junction and the Vauxhall before settling on London Waterloo. This...

    Derailment between Hersham & Walton on Thames (04/03)

    I shall look forward to travelling this evening from London. I note they haven't put on any kind of bus acceptance with any bus operators. I also noticed that a train departing Guildford on time at 06:55 , the 06:15 London Waterloo to Portsmouth Habour service had all its stops cancelled...

    SWR to withdraw public access to Guildford Station Footbridge

    Probably pre-covid but I can't remember for sure. They might even be South West Trains ones. Another friend had some too and I know he wasn't a fare dodger. They were different colours. I think I have got a red one and a blue one. Most of the time they would have been collected. It wasn't that...

    SWR to withdraw public access to Guildford Station Footbridge

    I don't remember those ones but I do have one or two of the thinner ones. I aquired them when they weren't collected for some reason. I think they were handed out but no one was at the back entrance to collect them.
