    Folkestone - Witham

    Trying to work out permitted routes for a route for a trip from Folkestone - Witham I'm planning but having no luck with the journey planner. Would rather take the train from Liverpool Street, instead of faffing around changing at Stratford, plus my aunt wants to meet me in Central London so...

    Southeastern Mainline calls at Kent House 27/6

    Anyone able to shed any light as to why the Victoria - Headcorn/Minster services are calling at Kent House this Sunday? RTT suggests that it's not to pick/up set down staff or enable anything to pass, the only thing I can think of is that it's to ferry people to/from the coast?? Appears to start...

    Folkestone Stations - London Terminals

    I may have to go to Kings College (Denmark Hill) on Thursday and would be looking to go into Central London afterwards. Now the cheapest ticket I can find is the Super Off Peak Day Return to London Terminals (£14.90 with 16-25 Railcard) but my query is, would it be valid for a Break of Journey...

    Another Delay Repay Problem

    Hi, wondering if anyone would be able to help me. I travelled from Eastbourne - Folkestone Central on 8th May 2016 and was delayed by both Southern and Southeastern. Booked departure time from Eastbourne was 1754 and I should have arrived at Folkestone Central at 1930, however due to the...

    Otford 08/05

    Currently stuck at Ashford, zero communication about what's going on except the standard 'we are sorry' automated announcements. Anyone know any more about what's happened at Otford? RTT has lost track of the last two Charing Cross - Ashford services at Otford Junction.

    South London Travels 04/11/12

    Had a trip out on Sunday to (hopefully) cover a bit of rarely used track and travel some of the Metro routes, looking for a 456 along the way! Apologies for lack of unit ID, really only take down what I see as different or odd formations for the service in question. Original plan was to take...

    Delays between Ashford - Dover

    Hit a suicide. Currently on the offending service (0753 Folkestone Central - St Pancras). Thoughts with the driver, nasty business...train has been kept well informed, thanks to the guard if he's on here...bleak times for everyone so not suprised, some people find it difficult to cope and if...

    Ashford - London +HS

    Going into London tomorrow morning and decided to pick up my ticket, a £13.65 Super Off - Peak Day Return, in advance. I'm sure these tickets used to have destination "London Charing Cross" on them but I've been issued with "London Terminals." I know HS1 is shut until late afternoon tomorrow so...

    Southern Daysave 1/09/12

    I'd been putting off this trip for ages but being the last weekend of the Eastbourne Summer Special, I decided to get one of these Southern Daysave tickets. Apologies in advance for the gaps in traction, think tiredness was to blame for the most part. My day started quite early, was out of the...

    Folkestone - Dorking

    Thinking about heading out in about an hour or so, at £14 return the fare is quite cheap but I'm having some problems with the route. The easiest route would be straight to Tonbridge, Redhill and then Deepdene but connections are either tight or give a wait of over half an hour at Tonbridge...

    Folkestone - Croydon

    Just wondering what routes are permitted when using an Off - Peak Day Return with YP, for £17.65. Southeastern's booking engine suggests these two: Folkestone - Sevenoaks - Peckham Rye - West Croydon Folkestone - Tonbridge - Norwood Junction - West Croydon I know I could just use East Croydon...

    Southern Daysave 29/01/12

    My day started on a chilly morning at Penge West, where the destination indicator didn't seem to think that there was a 0757 to Tattenham Corner. I asked a member of staff about the train and he didn't seem to know if it was running or not but did suggest that the boards sometimes omit certain...

    Future of the Class 455 at Southern

    With the order placed for what appears to be 26 5-carriage Electrostar units, the 455's are presumably going to be freed up for possible transfer onto non-Metro routes. Two destinations that spring to mind, one having already been mentioned, are Horsham and Tonbridge. Both have a common route...

    Declassified 1st class when trains are advertised as Standard Class only

    (This post was posted in reply to another thread about 1st class, and has been split from that topic as it wasn't applicable to that topic) I was travelling a few months ago and noticed a certain station's LDB advising customers that standard class tickets were valid in first.

    Folkestone - Greenhithe (for Bluewater)

    Hi all! Need to be at Bluewater for around 9.30am on Monday 5th September, hoping someone can find anything cheaper than this: Anytime Day Return valid: Valid via Not London £44.40 Only permitted route the Southeastern Journey Planner is giving me is the "round the houses" drag via...
