Can anyone say why the train made it all the way down to Poole (apart from fact problem was not noticed ) before the problem was noticed and what sort of person would have noticed the problem - change of crew/guard?

I don’t know. I do remember catching it and missing it on one occasion.

It hasn’t always had a late start - some 20 years ago it used to have a service starting about 7.15 from the Harbour going to Cardiff. Then they stopped that and first train was then 09xx and that as it got into its journey got very crowded and uncomfortable.Think in those days was just a 2 car...

The train that l should catch was due to leave Waterloo at 10.30am and when l looked a few minutes ago it was still at Waterloo but could be terminated short. According to SWR site, lines now reopened and a train is now scheduled to depart Havant just before 1pm . If my scheduled train does not...

Sadly someone has been hit by a train between the 2 stations. Thoughts are with all involved. Have an advance ticket, for SWT trains only, Havant to London Terminals for a train at 1303 this afternoon. The SWR website suggests that SWR tickets can be used on Southern Services, is this correct...

If l remember rightly, when the Brighton-Reading services started, that was with the 170s. One summer, can’t remember when, SWR ran one train on a Saturday,158 or 159 from Brighton - Portsmouth & Southsea - Southampton - Exeter St David’s . I can’t remember if the train terminated there or went...

The website makes no mention of any weekend offerings so assume none.

GWR website states *We aim to offer a complimentary First Class at-seat trolley on high-speed services starting their journey 06:00-19:30 during the week, but this is not guaranteed. I don’t know but it maybe that the refreshment trolley is not loaded until Plymouth or later in the journey...

GWR website states, No First Class catering is offered on the following routes: Penzance – Cardiff/Gloucester, Paddington – Newbury/Bedwyn, or Paddington – Oxford, Reading – Gatwick. Presumably there is no trolley service in standard class either. Edited to quote from GWR site

Should add that Smallbrook Junction is only open when IOW Steam Railway is open. 1715450721 Am having a few issues on internet at moment. Is this trip going to be a day trip or spread over a few days?

Think the only way is to get a single ticket on the cat and then a single ticket on the hovercraft, Do you have any railcards/ blue badge / are over 60? Which may have a bearing on the ticket price.

Service 149 operated by Portsmouth City Coaches who had recently taken over Emsworth & District Buses. This was a commuter service around Hayling Island to the Hayling Ferry. It started in October 2018 for a 6 month trial period but was cancelled before the end of the trial period. Limited...

The timetable and route stayed the same. It is a circular route that starts of at the Hovercraft Terminal at Southsea makes its way to Portsmouth Harbour Station then upto Portsmouth & Southsea Station and then back to the Hovercraft Terminal. I understand that HoverTravel will be keeping an...

And don’t forget Warblington between Havant & Emsworth. When l used to work l caught a train at 0729. To make sure l was the right side of the barriers l had to be at the station by 0715 as on some days of the week there was a stone train to Chichester . I did not know of RTT trains then so had...

And a signalling failure at Hilsea.

On the Southern Vectis ticket site there is a paragraph that says “Through Tickets Through fares are available to any point across the Island, but must be used within 3 hours of purchase.” That could possibly mean you could get from Ryde to Alum Bay for the cost of 1 x £2 ticket excluding...

As far as l know the fares on the Needles/Yarmouth Breezer are not capped at £2 a journey. The only ticket that l have been able to find is the Breezer Ticket which gives unlimited travel for 24 hours. It is cheaper by 50p to buy the Breezer Ticket on the app, which does of course give travel...

Brighton - Paignton service reversed at Portsmouth & Southsea rather than going straight across Farlington Junction.

There should be plenty of automated announcements on board as well as the scrolling information screen giving the forthcoming station stops and of which portion of the train to be in after the split.

The Souther Vectis Routes 2 & 3, take the long way round from Ryde, Brading , Sandown, Shanklin to Newport. Because of a landslip before Christmas the 3 has to take a different route between Shanklin & Ventnor and has to double back on itself. The Southern Vectis app l find helpful but also...
