I want to go to Edinburgh and then on to Glasgow on the same day. If I get an Advance single from Kings Cross to Glasgow via Edinburgh on say the 9.03 from Kings Cross do I have to catch the 13.48 from Edinburgh or can I exit the station and catch a train an hour or two later from Edinburgh?

I have heard a rumour there is to be an unusual train on the Uckfield Line tomorrow (30th December) possibly in the afternoon. THe suggestion was it is runningthe 15:07 LBG to UCK service. Anyone know anything?

A few weeks ago I travelled on a Thameslink train from Three Bridges to London Bridge. The train was over 15 minutes but not as much as 30 minutes late. I had bought a single Ticket from Three Bridges to East Croydon which cost £7.10. From East Croydon I was using my annual season ticket from...

I am going from Crowborough to Telford tomorrow, booked on the 9.10 from Euston. When I booked the ticket I could catch the 7.14 from Crowborough, and for some reason change at East Croydon to Victoria, then Victoria line to Euston. I say for some reason as I would route myself via London...

It appears that for £283.20 you can get a flexi season ticket from Reading to Elephant & Castle, a siginfi saving on Reading to London Terminals. It states “Valid only for travel via (changing trains or passing through) London Terminals, but not valid on Underground services.” What does this...

If I have an Uckfield to London Terminals season ticket can I change at Edenbridge Town, walk the short distance to Edenbridge and go via Redhill or Purley?

As we all know there were strikes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday last week with major disruption on the following day. The advice from many TOCs, including Southern, was to only travel if absolutely necessary. I have an annual season ticket and for Tuesday and Thursday Southern have given...

According to posts in the East Midlands thread the ex Scotrail 170s now formed in to 171s are going to East Midlands in September and the remainder of the 171s are being converted to 3 car units. This will benefit the Marshlink as they will then get 3 car units. However it only leaves 8 or so...

Tomorrow (5th Oct) I am going to Telford. I have an off peak return Crowborough to Telford. I am returning on Friday. Ticket cost was £79.50. It’s valid via any permitted route and says see restrictions nre.co.UK/91. I am planning on getting the train which gets in to Telford at 12.00. Due to a...

The latest from Southern about the 171s is in a response to the MP for Hasting and tweeted in a thread by Marshlink https://twitter.com/marshlinktrains/status/1331247830971936768?s=21 and the specific words are: Personally I expect Uckfield to be electrified with 3rd rail and Marshlink to be...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/failed-to-pay-fare.211352/ The problem in my mind is that its not black and white. The OP says he travels once a fortnight or so and on previous trips he has seen other passengers buy a ticket on a train. He was late so he...

Yesterday a RHTT failed in Crowborough tunnel. It was recovered by another RHTT, and it was filmed leaving Crowborough station. https://twitter.com/spencer7972/status/1326168677625061377?s=21

South Eastern tweeted yesterday https://twitter.com/Se_Railway/status/992914074299183104 that trains were being held up as a freight train was unable to enter sidings and a member of staff was on the way to enable it to do so. So what member of staff would be required? Guessing it was some...

This mornings rush hour on the East Grinstead and Uckfield lines were a total disaster this morning after a north bound Electrostar broke down just before Oxted tunnel. Rumour as it that it was caused by a shoe coming off and taking out the airline for the brakes. Southern managed to get all...

Evening all and hope you have had a good day. On Wednesday I am going to the theatre in London with my daughter and my brothers family and trying to work out ticket options. Departure station is Crowborough and we need to be at Drury Lane by 2pm. I have a season ticket and can use a PAYG...

So does anyone know, and can actually say(!), what the problem is with the Southern 171 fleet? The platforms were lengthened in the summer last year to allow peak services to run as 10 car units, additional train sets were acquired from Scotrail and converted to 4 and 2 car 171s. In July 2017...

I have a feeling I have read somewhere a Crowborough ticket is valid to East Grinstead. Am I right? Does it apply to any ticket or only season tickets?

There were a number of passengers at Hever who presumably wanted CowDen https://twitter.com/fran_ryan18/status/853216479554277377

Split from: GTR Prosecution advice please. The OP stated that he rushed in and boarded the train as it was there. I believe Huntingdon has barriers. If the rail company is so keen on people buying tickets then why arent the barriers closed so people have to buy tickets? The reality is the...

Does anyone have any idea of the predicted cost for works at Windmill Junction to remove the various conflicts and there reduce some of the issues on the Brighton mainline?
