    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    It might be unofficially but it's not a valid route, even if it was.

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    Currently 16 minutes but it's rising to 24-minutes, which is a long time when you consider the fast journey direct is only 31 minutes.

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    That explains it. Many thanks. I thought it might have been conflicting move related. If they ever have the possibility of re-doing all the timetables, should they decide no more than 3 fast trains an hour will ever be needed on the Portsmouth Direct, most hours then maybe there will be an...

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    I was thinking of schools and wondering about that. Of course if they add in stops that will mean the timetables will have to change. If only there was a similar flow to Clapham Junction but I do accept less are travelling. Even I don't travel almost every day as I use to. At least there is...

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    Thanks for that info. That puts pay to my idea then. That means in the future one will arrive into Woking at 18:57 and have to wait until 19:21 for a connecting train, so a 24-minute wait! The journey time from Guildford to Clapham Junction on a fast direct train is 31 minutes. Waiting...

    Typical. Not your fault of course. As an aside I was comparing you to Trainline today because I had set up an account for alerts, which in the end I didn't need, and you were cheaper in the user cases I checked. I've never used Trainline before as far as I can recall and I'm not about to...

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    This is due to the number of trains that need to pass through Clapham Junction at that time of the morning and so it isn't possible for them to stop. In the example I'm referring to, this isn't the case, so there might be another reason for it not stopping. By not stopping, one has to wait 16...

    Why doesn't the 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo stop at Clapham Junction?

    This has come up more generally in the past but not sure if this specific example has come up. What is the reason why the Monday to Friday 17:45 Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo cannot stop at Clapham Junction. It passes there at 19:22 and the next service appears to be the 19:29...

    First class was greyed out but coach H wasn't and it would let me select seats and rhen fail when I tried to confirm. I did think it was too good to be true but only because I'd looked up what the teem SP stood for. I don't remember seeing the acronym explained on the seat selector page.

    I am trying to book 4 tickets on 12:13 Euston to Manchester on 20 May. These are standard class advanced tickets at £28 each. When I try to select seats in Coach H, I get the error: Something went wrong. It's likely to be a class 390, Pendolino I tried a Chrome browser on Windows 10 and also a...

    Southern and Thameslink signalling woe

    So would the points in Hove, where trains were running yesterday, have been left in manual?

    "I'm a Signalman, not a Signaller!"

    Not sure if I use signaller or signalman. In my defence I own historic railway handbooks so that might influence what sticks in my mind. If I was working in the industry, I might just use the persons job title, if referring to someone in perticular or the more well used generalised term.

    Southern and Thameslink signalling woe

    There was but there wasn't a points failure at Hove last Monday but there was today. Hive had trains running at the weekend. Haywards Heath didn't. For full info, Preston Park also had a signalling issue today and dosnt last Monday but was part of the engineering works.block.

    Southern and Thameslink signalling woe

    But surely the block didn't cover Hove, given trains were running into Hove over the weekend. If it is related to anything I still think it's the power outage but may be it was both.

    Southern and Thameslink signalling woe

    Out of interest, are the points failures related to the sudden loss of power? Currently estimating disruption until 18:00 but there are trains from Haywards Heath after this time also cancelled but not so many. The disruption was originally expected to end 12:00, then 15:00 and now 18:00...

    "I'm a Signalman, not a Signaller!"

    What is DEI and if it is American, I object more to American terms terms and spellings being used in our la garage than things like spokesperson and signaller.

    When do Avanti West Coast release new advanced tickets?

    Date: 26/02/2024 This is exactly right. There is flexibility. Four people are travelling from 3 or 4 different stations and meeting at Euston so it was a case of coordinating trains that work best in terms of everyone getting to Euston, without people having a long wait for others or being on a...

    When do Avanti West Coast release new advanced tickets?

    I note Trainline only offer it for single journeys. I'd rather it alerted me based on a more broad tickets are on sale, so I will look at AWC to see if they base the alert more broadly rather than individual trains. Looks like AWC also only do it for individual journeys. I will use Trainline...

    When do Avanti West Coast release new advanced tickets?

    I will do that. I don't have Trainline installed but I could install that or the Avanti app. It's only for the notifications. I wasn't intending to book with them unless they are the only site selling the Advanced tickets.

    When do Avanti West Coast release new advanced tickets?

    I'm sure the answer is here but I can't find it amongst everything else. What time and day do Avanti West Coast [AWC] release new advanced tickets? For AWC advanced booking information, National Rail Enquiries [NRE] states the following...
