    Themed graffiti

    I think 10 foot and his association with tox and Fume who were all big 90s graffers is interesting. I cannot believe how slow the BTP are in catching him/her I’m sure once caught he will be a well known figure with a previous tag

    GTR Evidence Gatherer(?)

    I had a laugh at East Croydon when I saw 4 Rpi in combat style uniform accompanied by 2 travel safe officers board a Southern service south last week during the overtime ban. Surely they would be better deployed on Thameslink who have no OBS. The poor souls north have not been issued with the...

    More Interrail validity silliness (Trenord)

    In my experience ticket inspections on Trenord are extremely rare which is a shame as I love the network and trains but the guards seem to not really bother much with revenue

    Had to break through unmanned barriers at Burgess hill tonight

    Southern have lots of these unmanned gatelines on their network. At Burgess Hil there is generally one member of staff on the main entrance gateline with the two side ones operated remotely. The correct procedure is to use the help point and show your ticket to the camera who when answered...

    New Street ticket gates

    Another free tram network for the scum then. Are they going to install ticket machines as that was such a great success on the networks introduction for those of us who remember lol. To the people who don’t the machines lasted about a week hence the introduction of conductor to modern day...

    I think the Nav and Hill St exits should be peak only and locked at weekends I have been impressed lately with New St and Chiltern also staffing the platform 1 entry/exit at Moor Street later in the evening I find the LNW operation at Wolverhampton very haphazard but the same can be said of...

    Safeguarding officer

    Sounds better than most Southern barrier staff in South London who all seem to disappear in to the ticket/back office after 19:00 leaving the wide gate open and rendering their entire employment pointless. GTR revenue management seem extremely weak in this area compared to their counterparts

    Sad story from Russia

    It appears the conductor just threw the cat in the snow even though contrary to this article it had a ticket and was returning with the owners grand parents after an operation. Eye witnesses on the train say the conductor was fully aware of the cats ticketed status but threw it out anyway...

    'Bumping' - is it becoming a serious problem?

    I just don’t understand the lack of action from anyone. The staff don’t care , the police don’t care and the GOV are just useless. It’s a disgrace to the law abiders who are facing a Massine increase in fares to pay 4 this **** service (strikes) and unsafe services I know someone doughnutting...
