Citizens arrests law is not simple but broadly only available if someone is committing an indictable offence, so something serious enough to potentially land you in crown court. Probably not going to be available for not giving your name and address for fare evasion.

Unsurprisingly the diversion is back for 13/14 Aug. But a bit more news from SWR on the plan your journey website about planned renewal of the points. Edit: Actually I think they did mention the renewal in the previous messages at the start of the month.

I was not being entirely serious about a flyover being the solution. It must be 100 years since the idea of grade separation at that junction was first mooted so I doubt it will be anytime soon. I am sure there will be cheaper solutions if hot weather is the only problem.

Perhaps they will dust off the plans for a flyover again? :D

The SWR website at https://www.southwesternrailway.com/plan-my-journey says

Thanks to Cowley for reopening the thread. I can only apologise for not getting my update in a little quicker. But yes as guessed by others I was going to mention the planning application to remove the agreement for public access. Watershed has done a much better job than I would of linking...

I've had few emails from SWR about the app and website update. One was saying to logon and reset the password and another today to say I now need to add payment card to my Tap2Go account. So looks like the passwords and payment cards where not moved when they migrated to the system. I'd guess...

I wonder if 701s replacing 458s is the last step or is it 701s displaying some of the 450s?

You may think that was a long time ago but the 1st post on this thread predates the platform extensions.

Looking at TFL's own conditions conditions of carriage https://tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/documents/tfl-conditions-of-carriage.pdf in appendix 1 for ticket types: It has "additional information" which says It also says Your excellent post up thread has already covered that there is nothing...

This is due network railcard conditions of use restricting the times of use to after 10am mon-fri (4.2) But crucially and uniquely among railcards it also says It doesn't say you may be asked to pay the difference or we may prosecute you but "you will be asked". It seems clear that for a...

Very true but then National Rail website says It would seem odd to put in a T&C that says But then hit a passanger with a prosecution as the NRCoT says So skiping over the T&C which seem to be 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 and use 9.2.3 which was not mentioned in the T&C

The question, I guess, is was it not just a possible remedy but the only remedy given that by not complying with condition 4.3 (only to used mon-fri after 10am) 4.7.3 kicks in (paying the extra at a time when reduced fares do not apply) Condition 4.7 does not mention prosecution as a...

But don't the T&Cs also say that Crosscountry should have charged the difference or issued a penalty fare?

The network raicard has a condition that you don't see for other cards that directly addresses traveling at a time that discounted fares do not apply Does that make a difference to if the OP should have been excessed or issued a penalty fare rather than threatened with a prosecution if they...

Maybe but you'd hope "the railway" would want to be clear and unambiguous rather than lay traps. I'm not sure that when the T&C says one thing relying on what, to most passengers would be, an obscure document (the NRCoT) to prosecute them would be that well received by the court. But then I've...

The rules for the network card seem to be either an excess or penalty fare for travelling before 10AM

When I'm on a Portsmouth bound train that's come via the New Line they tend to stop at 2 unless its got 455 sat at in which case it will be platform 3. With the Portsmouth trains via Woking it tends to be platform 4. I've always assumed that the lines for platform 2 and 3 are the original lines...

The announcement about the 458 contract was March 2021 (if I remember correctly) so you would have imagined SWR had an idea about post covid numbers by then. But perhaps they where expecting more of a recovery in numbers on the Portsmouth Direct than they got.

Of course would not be an issue with a 12 carridge 458/4
