I won't often defend unions actions but, in this case, in the face of unworkable proposals from SWR management (&or DfT - who knows?), someone has to stand up and say it won't work, with the power to stop it happening. The tragedy here is that all the expertise isn't collaborating to find...

Hard to imagine it could slow it down, although it is yet another short-term distraction for those who should be driving this forward. I’ve no strong views on public vs private ownership of rail but in this case I’ve a quiet hope that removing the ability for local disputes to impede progress...

That’s caused by a murderer, not by DOO. Same happened on SWR in 2019. Darren Pencille: Lee Pomeroy Guildford train stab attacker jailed for murder https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-48967618

As a regular traveller on the New Guildford line, I can speak from experience when I say that the lack of air-con feels like torture in the summer, and it’s disappointing that the 701s will displace air-con stock on the Windsor lines before the 455s. You can work around the lack of toilets, but...

Don’t know if this idea has come up before, but if Crossrail 2 were built, these would probably be the trains to serve it. That could inform the door alignment decision, with platform-edge doors in the tunnels requiring consistent alignment.

It's a shame the Windsor lines seem likely to get them first. They already have air-con on that route. We're sweltering over here on the New Guildford Line! And paying the same, I might add..

Isn't the driver in a better position to know if that has happened, than the guard? (Or, at least, they'll be the first to know). Indeed, maybe the guard having to confirm the train's position before releasing the doors is precisely because they can't be certain, with only a side view onto the...

Let's not forget how inter-linked demand and fares are. I used to be a regular commuter, and am now an occasional one. I have quite a bit of discretion as to how often I commute, and cost is a big factor. If fares were lower, I'd go more often. I enjoy working with my colleagues in person...

I am planning to travel with my daughter (aged 12), and a Friends & Family Railcard, from Weybridge to Waterloo, then on to Leicester Square by tube, and back, this coming Saturday. Outward around 14:00, returning around 17:00. I am aware of the strikes and changes to train times. Journey...

Indeed it doesn't... with Bookham as the starting point. However, I just tried using Leatherhead as the starting point instead though, and my routing seems to be allowed by the journey planner for that journey. Which, I think, answers my original question, since Bookham is the first station...

Thanks, and my apologies. I edited the original post with full station names now. It's the bit that says that you can't pass through a station that is a routing point on your way to intersect the next map that I didn't see anywhere.

Can any routing experts see a reason why a journey from Bookham to Brighton, on a 'Not Via Clapham Junction' ticket, should not go via Guildford? I am using Leatherhead (LHD) as a routing point, and maps DK+XB, which intersect at Guildford (and also at Dorking Group). Dorking looks obvious as...

Thanks for the replies and my apologies for the many faux pas (wrong forum, using abbreviations). I promise to do better next time :oops:

Anyone have a clue why the 17:32 XC NCL-GLD seems to be (according to journey planner) curtailed at BHM this coming saturday 22/10? There's no engineering works or timetable alterations posted that would explain why it won't run through to Guildford. (Perhaps it will - heaven forbid that...
