I was there on the Saturday night. I have vague memories of the train journey to Stevenage being quite ordered on the way there and utterly chaotic at the end - but we got home. How did the railway cope with these monumental gigs? It feels like it must have been a huge operation. Could it be...

Hi We’ve broken down just outside York (Peterborough to Edinburgh train). Apparently Thunderbird is coming to rescue us. Any ideas as to where it’s coming from and how long this is likely to take?

Good evening, I encountered no issues with this today but am wondering if I would have if I’d encountered a revenue officer…. Bought an evening out return ticket from Milford to Guildford, from Godalming (I started short as I got a lift part way on way in but wanted to go back whole way to...

good evening On Sunday I need to make a journey from Witley, Surrey to Newark. I’m doing part of the journey with someone else who has a railcard, it’s marginally cheaper for me to pay separately for the Witley to Waterloo segment and then KX to Newark (when I’ll be alone). My question is -...

Good morning, I wondered whether anybody could shed any light on the accuracy (or otherwise) of the likelihood of special train(s) running from Waterloo to Witley, for the sole use of pupils and staff from King Edward's Witley (apparently with the school crest on the outside of the train) in...

Hi all, When the new timetable came into effect, Witley and Milford lost at least one train London bound in the afternoon which was extra to the normally hourly service (I think it may have been two). This is having a serious impact on local schoolchildren (at least one school is considering...

Good evening, Sat on yet another RRB south of Guildford. A lot of weekend work and more to come…I wondered if anyone could advise on when this level of work/disruption will end?

Good morning.... I am a long time SWR gold card holder. This started last year, but this year the quality of the ink on the gold card is appalling. I'm on my 5th duplicate and the card was bought in November. I don't want a smartcard, quite happy with my paper card - but is the degradation a...

Good afternoon 2 questions please I have an SF upgrade for later on the ECML. Train has been cancelled - how would the SF part be handled (as opposed to main ticket delay repay)? Also if I take an alternative route eg WCML on ticket acceptance - can I buy a SF upgrade for the new routing ie...

Good evening, Looking for some help please in interpreting the advice on the metro website around the Easter weekend major works. I take closure between Heworth and South Gosforth to mean that there will still be trains from St James to the coast (indeed from St James to South Gosforth via the...

Hi I’ve not done this before…booked on Avanti website (via a log in account on their website) for TFW journey which was subsequently >60 mins late. Do I claim for DR through Avanti or TFW? Thanks

Good afternoon...last Saturday and now I see this Saturday, Guildford - Waterloo via Cobham services have been reduced from 2 to 1 an hour. Can anyone advise why and how many weeks this will go on for. Nothing on SWR publicity or at the stations on this...many thanks

Good evening all…on the Guildford New Line we are starting to see trains w first class. After initial delight w the new stock (people were genuinely calling their other halves to tell them they had a nice train last week), questions now around the 1st class. I asked a guard last week around...

Sorry, I did search for this...I am looking to walk from Bank to Moorgate during my regular journeys whilst the blockade is on. Which is the best exit for this? (It’s definitely not Monument, where I was directed today...). Many thanks

For a long time I used contactless on the tube but recently moved to a (paper) travelcard as I now have a train journey. Tonight out of habit I touched out w my debit card not travelcard. Apparently there’s no way of avoiding being charged as I didn’t touch in at start of journey and ‘if I...

After 10 months of almost no delays on the daily commute, it’s now been a week of ‘minor delays’ (must be stretching that definition) following last week’s meltdown. Most uncharacteristic and unwelcome… Would any forumites know when (presumably) the electrical works to restore Good Service...

Good evening...had a slightly weird occurrence today and wondered if was a one off.... I have a gold card from Effingham Jct to London Terminals. I sometimes go to Guildford and buy the requisite ticket from EJ. Today I found myself in Guildford by other means, and somewhat on auto pilot put...

Good evening I’ve just had one of the weirdest experiences, and I’m interested in getting to the bottom of this to avoid a repeat... After the advice of forum members I’m taking the least controversial route from Effingham Junction to Clapham Junction (ie via Surbiton and Wimbledon or via...

Good evening Because of C-19 I’ve ditched my travel card for a season ticket (Horsley to Clapham Junction). I know this is valid via Surbiton and Leatherhead - is this also valid by changing at Epsom and taking Southern to CJ? If so, I think the Southern trains take a couple of different...

Hello there Hopefully this is in the right place, a very mysterious issue for me, can’t work it out at all. I have recently changed my iPhone to a new SE, having had an old one for a long time. I also have a 7 for work. I’ve never had any real issue w the train wi-fi until this upgrade...
