Henley-on-Thames trains are often overcrowded when students are commuting to college.
The standard line from GWR is there are no spare carriages available anywhere to strengthen the 2 car 165s.
Given the amount of new trains which have been added to the network over the past decade, are there...
If a 15 year old is traveling on a Child ticket and a ticket check takes place, if the child looks older than 15, what's supposed to happen? Can they be reported for looking older than 15? What happens if they don't have proof with them?
As it's Henley Regatta week with the Henley special service, I was thinking. What would it take to upgrade the Henley branch to allow 2 trains per hour / service every 15 mins? What would that likely cost?
Sometimes there's a loophole in validity of a ticket and it's not necessarily a good idea to promote it on here. But with this one, I don't think you could push the boundary to use the full stated validity. Even through National Rail is the definitive authority on validity of tickets...

They should rename the station to just Luton Parkway
Is there a comparison of how many years apart refits took place on different classes after privatisation?
For example with the Class 800s being about 5 years old, how long until there's the chance of replacing the ironing boards?
What's the process if a GWR Touch smart card gets lost and has a season ticket on it? Does the passenger have to apply for a new smart card and wait to receive it in the post? What do they do in the meantime while waiting for the replacement to arrive?
Railcards bought online / digital from Trainline have to be shown in the Trainline app. Do other online retailers let you add railcards to Apple Wallet instead?
When the Henley Festival is on (this week) the Henley branch has 'circular' trains because some don't stop at Shiplake. I think they don't stop going North at Shiplake in the morning and they don't stop going South at Shiplake in the afternoon. They also get 2x2 car (4 car) trains to cope with...
If a ticket is endorsed on the back in the Endorsements box, is there a syntax that makes it valid or how does a staff member know it's correct and who wrote it? What's an example of a valid endorsement?
