    Just arrived on my door mate for the coming year, RDG have renamed them as per the subject. The good news is they confirm a project has been started to retail tickets online for staff leisure travel. I look forward to that. I don’t know whether this is a new condition of carriage but if a...

    PRIV NR only fares

    When I buy a return ticket using my PRIV, the difference between a single & return can be as little as 10p. How does it work when using the PRIV NR Only Oyster? Would any return leg that day charge only 10p more? For instance, Greenwich > Dartford return is £1.55 single, £1.65 return...

    Southern DaySave using a PRIV

    Just wondering if anyone here knows, given it seems to be an online only application, whether Southern would sell a PRIV DaySave ticket? Furthermore, if any TOC advertises an online-only ticket, whether PRIV's in general could take advantage of such a ticket.

    Rail agency proposal to 'cure chaos'

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/business/rail-agency-proposal-to-cure-chaos-62v6c08fx I was vaguely familiar with the workings of the SRA but have my doubts as to the 'worth' of any such initiative. I suppose it could help a fragmented system..

    Landslip at Barnehurst

    According to Southeastern, a land slip at Barnehurst has completely shut the Bexleyheath line today. I've always wondered why there aren't more 'strategic' reversal facilities (is that the right word?) in place to at least run partial services to/from stations not affected, when a line is...

    The value of a trade union

    Hi there, I've passed all my tests, had my DMI and been offered a position as a trainee driver, subject to a successful medical. I won't mention which company at this time as forums were not mentioned in a good light at the DMI. I've been reading a lot on these forums about ASLEF and in...
