    LNER to pilot removal of Off-Peak tickets

    A bleedin' disgrace. 2020 I went Worthing to Newcastle for less than £80 there and back. Same route same time in 2024 is £120.

    What would happen in this situation? (Re railcard)

    I do get that however I am entitled to the discount as I have genuinely paid for my railcard. If someone didn't mind downloading TrainPal I am happy to login and show the railcard. Is there no mitigation? filling in some paperwork and sending proof after X number of days, otherwise a penalty...

    What would happen in this situation? (Re railcard)

    I've got to make a few train journeys over the next few days. I will be buying tickets with a 26-30 railcard. However, as it is digital only, and my smartphone has died, how am I meant to prove I have the railcard? I will be without my smartphone for at least the next 4 days, all I have is a...

    Ticket Office closures no longer going ahead

    Unfortunately this isn't the case Imo. The regime is playing to their voter base, (ie the daily mail types) who absolutely dispise the unions, and would quite happily see thousands redundant in order to score political points against unions

    Ticket Office closures no longer going ahead

    No doubt a ploy by the regime to show they "compromise", and that this PR stunt was planned this way from the very start!

    Connection time at STP

    Yes... I got on the wrong one. ha ha! Barriers didn't seem to be working, so we all were all let through at once, info screens weren't working (and still showed BST time!!) I went to platform 4 and got on the first train that said nottignham on it.... I thought it was a little quiet when I got...

    Connection time at STP

    Thanks all. It looks like I will miss the connection in London! Journey is Worthing to Nottingham, train from worthing to Gatwick is delayed by 15 mins, wiping out connection time at Gatwick. The next train Gatwick to St Pancras will get me to St Pancras just 5 minutes prior to my 11.05 EMR...

    Connection time at STP

    I will be getting off a Thameslink on the lower level platforms at St Pancras. I have 15 minutes to get to to my EMR train to Nottingham. I understand that the minimum connection time is 15 minutes. However, that does seem a little short. Is the EMR platform right by the lower level Thameslink...

    Aslef strike around Tory conference dates

    What changes to T and C's does the regime want to make? I realize this may be TOC specific, but there must be some general changes?

    Can I do this?

    Thanks all. So using the return portion is fine from vic to worthing. but not the outward from worthing. damn. How and why is it more expensive from Londonz rather than same price? it's the same journey, covering the same track and distance. Nothing more than money grabbing from GTR, with...

    Can I do this?

    Going from Worthing to London Victoria on a day return ticket is much cheaper than going from Victoria to Worthing on day return. I've noted that only the more expensive ticket is sold at ticket machines in London. So as I need to go to Worthing from Victoria, what's stopping me from going...

    Is this allowed (delay repay)

    My train was 35 minutes late. I missed my connection as a result. However, I did not board the late train as it was absolutely rammed and I had luggage. I then boarded the following service which was on time, but an hour ish after the train I'd originally intended to board. I then had a short...

    Southern timetable changes consultation Coastway West

    A bit of a petty point from me... I always like a forwards facing seat.... so If these changes come into fruition, it means a change of seat at Littlehampton on my Brighton to Chichester service ...unless I use the Brighton to Southamptons!! I also think it's quite poor that there will no...

    What is going on at Barnham this morning? (04/07/2023)

    Why does the depot exist at Barnham? There's literally nothing there... . Chichester is a few miles away as is Worthing!

    What is going on at Barnham this morning? (04/07/2023)

    What is going on at Barnham this morning? GTR say police are dealing with an incident, and a whole load of trains are cancelled and delayed because of it. I understand something has happened to the depot? I've also seen a video circulating on social media of trespassers at the station. This...

    Southern Railway much improved?

    There was an incident on the coastway this evening...not entirely sure where....but it has meant that customers have been stranded at diddy stations for hours on end with not a lot of communication from Southern, by the sounds of things!
