    I bought an off-peak return London Euston to Wigan recently from Southwestern website. The outward journey was for 1 September and being an off peak return the return was any day within the next month. However, I went through the normal itinerary process with Southwestern and selected 4...

    Using eVouchers

    I recently received an eVoucher from Southern in settlement of a Delay Repay claim. The eVoucher has appeared in my Southern account. Am I restricted to using it to book tickets from that account, or can I use the eVoucher number to book tickets elsewhere? I just tried to use it to make a...

    Leicester - London Bridge Day Return

    Would London Thameslink be available as a destination for this journey, or should I book it to London Underground Zone 1? No further travel in the Oyster zones will be needed, just one return trip St Pancras - London Bridge.

    ITSO Enabled TVMs in the Oyster Area

    There have been threads before about this where the consensus was that ITSO enabled TVMs are rare in the Oyster area, some exceptions being London St Pancras, London Marylebone and a few others. It seems this information is recorded in nationalrail.co.uk under "Stations". If you look up a...

    c2c App and Smartcards

    I normally use the c2c app for buying tickets. I sometimes travel from Waddon to Epsom and, as I already have a London Freedom Pass, I just get a day return Ewell East to Epsom for the part of the journey outside Zone 6. Previously this had been straightforward on the c2c app, and I always used...

    Unable to Collect Ticket

    If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be interested. Yesterday I purchased a ticket on the c2c app. I paid using ApplePay, all seemed to go through fine and I got my collection code. Yet when I tried to collect it, using the same card I'd paid with on ApplePay, the machine said I was unable...

    ULEZ Expansion (and being forced into changing cars).

    Is anyone else in the same situation? I have a 2012 diesel with many more years life in it, but having to get a new vehicle due to ULEZ expansion. Are you changing cars ASAP or waiting until the last minute? I know there's talk of legal challenges, but is there any realistic hope of a U turn on...

    How cold should aircon be set on public transport?

    About a month ago, I travelled on Southern from East Croydon to Southampton - not a line that's exactly a pleasure even under the best of circumstances, but on this occasion it was a hot day, yet the train was really cold inside. Needless to say after sitting on the train for two hours plus in T...

    Plusbus Not Offered

    I was booking a ticket online today using southwesternrailway.com (Southampton - East Croydon return) but no Southampton Plusbus tickets were offered. I'll be travelling on 30 January 2020. Can anyone say why this is, as they've always been offered before.

    Coastway West Stops

    Just curious, does anyone know the thinking behind the extra stops on some of Southern's Coastway West services between Swanwick and Southampton Central? I've noticed evening and early morning services additionally stopping at some or all of St Denys, Woolston and Netley. It seems no sooner...

    Quiet Coaches

    Is there an official code of behaviour anywhere for Quiet Coaches? I was on a train recently, chatting normally with a friend in a quiet coach, when the person in front said our conversation was too loud and could we be quiet. I didn't make an issue of it, but did reflect his expectations of...

    e-Tickets, Break of Journey

    I've just booked an e-ticket on the SWR app, a day return Redbridge - Eastleigh. I was surprised to see in the conditions that break of journey is not permitted, as I'm sure it is on a paper ticket. If I'm right, can anyone explain where there's a difference?

    Clapham Junction Oyster Readers

    I will be changing at Clapham Junction on my way to East Croydon. The first leg of the journey from Southampton is covered by a paper Advance ticket, but I will use my 60+ Oyster card for the CLJ-ECR leg. Do I have to go over to Platform 17 at CLJ to touch in before boarding the train to East...
