Hypothetical at the moment I travelled from Ramsgate to London Bridge and back today using a Super Off-peak Day return to London terminals. Non HS1 If when I arrived in London I wanted to come back on HS1 is there anyway I can upgrade/excess /whatever the word is or would I have to buy a...

I'm sure there is a good reason that I'm missing but am curious! When I got off the train on Tuesday there was a revenue block before the gateline which is usually closed. They were scanning/checking tickets and then tapping you through. Unusual occurrence for me anyway - and there is no other...

I was due to get the 10.00 Ramsgate to Canterbury West this morning This train has been cancelled - the next one is at 10.42. This would mean that I would be too late for the meeting I was due to have - so that’s been cancelled too I have an ordinary day return with a Disabled Railcard. There...

I have to go to a funeral on New Years Eve The nearest station appears to be Pevenesy and Westham - followed by a bus ride. The wake is in Seaford so would have to come back to Ramsgate via Eastbourne if I attend. The funeral is at 11.30 which means I'd have to get a train from Ramsgate just...

My usual train I noticed today (as I was going in the other direction) that it was timetabled to leave at 10.36. I’ve seen this on occasions before. Checking next Tuesday the journey planner has it back at 10.42 There’s obviously a reason but does anyone know what that is? Little more than...

Think I know the answer to this but just checking Doing the above return journey. I can get an e ticket but the itinerary includes the walk between Stratford International and Stratford Given my back this is not an attractive option I am assuming that the e ticket precludes hopping on the...

As a resident of Ramsgate I found this article particularly interesting It’s about The Granville Express which used to run from London to Thanet and, apparently, was the first “named” train https://www.ramsgatetown.org/ramsgate/ramsgate-news/news?p=10211727

Hopefully some kind soul will help me out Was on the 10.36 Ramsgate to Charing Cross this morning Because of late running the train was terminated at London Bridge Due time there was 12.43. We arrived at 12.58 (ish). Can someone point me to where the official time of arrival can be found to...

Maybe me but when I try to book this online I can only get a paper ticket You can get an e-ticket Ramsgate to Eastbourne or Rye so was (idly) wondering what’s different about Three Oaks Full journey is a return tomorrow with a Disabled Persons Railcard. Off Peak. It’s easy enough to buy at...

Applied for a Disabled RailCard on Sunday afternoon Application approved that evening and card received this morning by first class signed for post Have to say very impressed

About every six weeks I have a pub lunch with an 88 year old friend. He lives in Eastbourne and I in Ramsgate We usually go to Rye as it’s sort of half way, the trains arrive and leave at the same time and there is a pub very near the station He is now struggling with the footbridge at Rye...

Had to turn the power off apparently for some time Trains now starting to run with delays and cancellations due to displaced stock and staff No trains between Ramsgate and Margate until further notice, though The information came from the SouthEastern website I was due to go to Sandwich...

I am making this journey in April to go to Kings Hospital One of the cheaper options involves changing at Gravesend going and Bromley South coming back But the times are tight to get in to the second train At Gravesend 4 minutes to get from Platform 0 to Platform 1 At Bromley South 7...

I’ll be most likely attending a wedding in Bristol (nearest station Temple Meads) in August this year Basic journey - Friday 29th Ramsgate to Temple Meads leaving lunchtime. Return journey 31st leaving around 10 am I’m also conscious that engineering works may have an impact - to the extent...

Bit taken aback arriving at Ashford International this afternoon from Rye to hear an announcement on the train about changing here for the Eurostar to Lille and Paris Very outdated I do that journey occasionally and don't recall that before but maybe I haven't been listening properly Is there...

This is mainly idle curiosity as I wasn’t affected enough for delay repay There were some issues on the Victoria line this morning. I was due to get the 10.53 from Ramsgate to Margate The inbound only arrived at 10.49. By the time they’d attached another four carriages to it it was late There...

Hi Thanks again for any help given I have to travel from Ramsgate to West Kensington (Zone 2) and back again The South Eastern website doesn’t give an option for using London Underground. The forum’s ticketing does give London Zone 2 but when I try it it comes up with no itinerary found I’m...

Recently I’ve been travelling from there at about 16:30 on a Thursday afternoon - every couple of weeks There are so many platform staff - I reckon at least 10 today Purely out of curiosity does anyone know why? I know they have some events at Dreamland on a Thursday night but - as far as I...
