I'll get the gripe out the way first; I signed up for auto delay-repay and it didn't pick up three of my four journeys that were delayed this week (I'd already submitted the first before remembering the auto delay-repay was, in theory, active). Now on to the positive, DR1 submitted Monday at...

Can anyone tell me please what's causing the disruption to Southern's Marshlink service this week please? I've been forced to commute using it this week and despite leaving Ashford on time each morning at 07:22, the arrivals at my destination have varied between 4m late to 16m late. Coming...

Last Friday evening I used the 20:12 service from St Pancras to Ashford, we arrived on time at Ebbsfleet but then sat awhile. Eventually the On Board Manager announced his apologies for the unknown delay. We left Ebbsfleet seven minutes late and after getting up to speed we had a very heavy...

Mods/Admins, sorry I couldn't find a 'Not a chance in hell' sub-forum.... https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/gatwick-to-kent-rail-service-plans-233849/ "but by linking it with the existing Reading to Gatwick service, I believe the case would have a much greater chance of success now." so...

The track within the Chart Leacon compound has started to be lifted over the last few(?) weeks. This morning two 73's (73136?) and a rake of wagons are on site. Note : I would have added this to my own earlier thread about Chart Leacon or the Southeastern depot space thread but they both say...

The last few weekends have seen a 373 run between St Pancras and Ashford and return, does anyone know why? 373229 is currently sat at Ashford P4 and according to RealTimeTrains map will be the 9Z03 13:05 back to STP(?) TIA, Simon

This is formed of a four car Turbostar (170?) this morning. I thought these were normally summer use only? Simon

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/disruption-to-rail-services-over-christmas-214356/ Kent Online is reporting that there'll be no Southeastern HS or Eurostar services over Christmas from Ashford International. Selected bits from the article: " Southeastern High Speed and Eurostar...

Does anyone know what the current operating incident is thats thats affecting HS1 by Ashford? From the comfort of my garden I heard the distinctive sound of a 374 humming away and a look at the realtime maps a Eurostar was shown taking the fork into Ashford but it's now reversed back up the...

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/50-new-jobs-as-former-train-depot-reopens-196331/ Wouldn't it be easier to put Thameslink into Chart Leacon?

I've just received an email from Southeastern with the following.... This could be interesting and useful if the boxsets are stored (as data) on the trains*, not sure I see the point if they have to stream them over the existing 4G network. * I've just read the info on the find out more page...

1C80, the 12:27 St Pancras to St Pancras service has just arrived back at St Pancras with paper Southeastern '''Seat reserved' notices stuck on a couple of windows in coach B (London end). Why would it have these? Would they be for a filmed interview taking place on-board? TIA, Simon

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on with Eurostar at Ashford please? The service seems to have been reduced in the last few weeks. For example, there was a Tue-Thu(/Fri?) 07:28 departure to Bruxelles Midi but that now non-stops Ashford but has a 14 minute stop at Ebbsfleet instead. I...
