    GWR Night Riviera Sleeper

    Good point. I was thinking berths but for such a short journey a berth is not required.

    Agreed. I suspect the 3rd April is fully booked given it is just over a week away.

    Disabled Persons railcard on Oyster

    Seems like lot of staff need a refresher on adding railcards to Oyster. I guess a lot of them will not have encountered a request to add a disabled persons railcard. I'll get the mistake corrected when I am next at a central London station. I originally requested the railcard be added at Oxford...

    Complaints about Revenue Protection behaviour

    Any ticket I have ever had on my phone has had a barcode which the person checking tickets simply scans and as a result has all the information they need on their handheld device without ever needing to touch my phone. All I have to do is ensure the screen is bright enough for them to be able to...

    Disabled Persons railcard on Oyster

    I have a disabled persons railcard loaded on my Oyster. I tried to make a tube journey recently where I found I was out of credit and upon looking at my journey history, and topping up, I found I had been charged the full adult fare whenever I travelled during peak hours. My understanding is...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Exactly. Anyway you don't have to vacate the train until the advertised time.

    Hello everybody and please listen up

    That one has been in use at Victoria for several years. I used to use Victoria station on a very regular basis so I tuned out of all the recorded announcements as I have heard them all countless times. That message probably was recorded by a child.

    Luggage on trains… bikes now take priority?

    I believe that bikes do have priority over other luggage and passengers but as you experienced it is hard work for the traincrew to enforce this. Not sure if spaces are reservable on GA but passengers won't know if a bike will board and when during the journey so it wouldn't help the traincrew...

    Dunblane - London (27th August 2023)

    I managed to find it once I entered the changes. I didn't have to enter the changes to find it yesterday but at least I am able to book it.

    Dunblane - London (27th August 2023)

    I will be traveling back home on the morning of 27th August and I will be starting my journey at Dunblane station. Yesterday, 17th August, I was able to get several journey planners to give me a route into London Euston changing at Haymarket and Carlisle departing from Dunblane at 11:00. This...

    Cricket

    Despite the excellent catch he simply isn't consistent enough at present to be in the team. Which is a shame because he is a brilliant cricketer when he is in form.

    Cricket

    I concluded England would lose this match so instead am watching the Surrey match.

    Cricket

    I've known about him for many years. I'm surprised he never made it into the England setup other than for the Lions. I though would've be given a chance for England as an opener because they haven't been the strongest in that department for a while.

    To what extent is an operator entitled to delay your exit from a station?

    Personally If I had to wait more than about 2 minutes for a ticket check prior to alighting at Stansted Airport I would simply walk off. If they chased after me, which I presume they would, I would proffer my ticket and railcard and mention that I have a flight to catch and can not afford to be...
