    UK General Election 2024

    If you are in a different local authority area, you might need to apply again. Also, it doesn't hurt to remind them in case they accidentally missed you out.

    UK General Election 2024

    I am very pleased the election is on 4 July. It doesn't clash with any planned holidays or hospital appointments. This matters to me because I work in polling stations and don't want to lose my additional income stream. Whoever wins, I win, with extra money. :lol: If anyone here would like to...

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    Thanks. National Rail Enquiries are not currently showing departures from Waterloo, so I couldn't be sure the train had left or they were just showing trains known to be departing. I got on an Exeter train, which stops at Woking. I will change there. Just realised I could have changed at...

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    I use to commute regularly via Euston so know the quick routes. This time thought I waited to speak to staff. 1716413478 These days I believe it is but I shall find out. There is South Western Railway ticket acceptance on the tube so I am expecting no issues. I won't make the train though...

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    Top marks to the man at thr Euston underground barrier who let me through when I explained. Trespass incident on the lines to Basingstoke so blanket ticket acceptance. No need to ask the guard. Might even save Avanti West Coast some money. They already owe me 50% to Manchester due to points...

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    Indeed but I wasn't going to discuss it further as it wouldn't achieve anything there. 1716410378 I am only wondering this now it's been mentioned by @MrJeeves, who mentioned endorsement.

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    Thanks for your help. Train manager didn't endorsed my tickets and besides they are e-tickets in a Google Wallet. However, I can prove there is disruption so in happy to follow their advice.

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    Update. Now spoken to train manager. Will go through central London. Use my Oyster and claim it back. They said to claim from West Midlands but I know differently so will claim from Avanti. Once I get to London Waterloo I will get on a train that stops at Surbtion and then continue my journey.

    Train delays into Milton Kynes and missed connections to Watford Junction and beyond via West London Line

    I have three train tickets Penrith to Tring, Tring to Surbtion and Surbtion to Guildford. The first two are advanced purchase tickets. The final one is a walk up single purchased via TrainSplit or this forum. I forget which I use both. I was on the 18:08, which is currently over 46 minutes...

    "Mug punters" getting fleeced

    I wonder what percentage of that is by taxi and/or van. Personally I do whatever I find is cheapest because I enjoy the fun of trying to find the cheapest fare. Sometimes I even start and finish short or I combine that kind of ticket with another one for a longer journey. I see it as a game...

    RailUK Forums ticketing website fees.

    There are tickets I buy for journeys I might make that this forums site couldn't find in a search. Thus if I wish to make even longer journeys, I combine these tickets with the power of forums site to save even further than I othereise could on my own or I l otherwise could solely using the...

    Delay Repay using official connection times, or real connection made?

    That's what I call a win win situation. :lol:

    All trains calling at all stations for suburban lines

    I would like more New Line Guildford trains to stop at New Malden and Raynes Park. Currently only the 7:04 and 7:34 from Guildford stop at New Malden and there is nothing in the return direction. No idea if it is feasible. I imagine not.

    No working toilet on the train.

    This has happened to me in the past. Fortunately, although not well sign posted, which h probably an understatment, I now know there is a disabled toilet on platforms 1&2 at Gatwick Airport and I do use it from time to time. I did wonder this too.

    No working toilet on the train.

    Most people don't use Real Time Trains and SWR doesn't even include the information on Journey Check. I'm talking about services not intended to run with loos but on lines that run services with loos, like the service from Sidcup was.

    SWR to withdraw public access to Guildford Station Footbridge

    You'd think NR would let people know that further work was due later in the year.

    Level Crossing Barriers struck at Berwick (Sussex) again

    I see what you mean now. I didn't spot that.
