Ezekiel 7:7 would be far more appropriate for those poor sods having to travel out of Kings X or Euston.

The one at Beaulieu Road was working about half the times I passed it last summer. Which was a major improvement over the past few years.

Agree with Eastleigh, plenty of space, its a bit bleak but you won’t get hassled. Wetherspoons just outside. I don’t really do much spotting these days but enjoy passing a few hours there.

In theory whats to stop the OP claiming the delay repay anyway as recompense towards the Uber cost?

I went when at Lancashire Poly in the late Eighties even then it seemed more like a working junk yard than a tourist attraction which I rather liked.

Many thanks both that really isn’t obvious. I’ll remove the image. Though not sure why - no I don’t want to know ;-) 1707127466 Well thanks for the help the app still wont go to enable even with a photo uploaded and the correct ticket ref. Is there any other way of claiming?

No doesn’t seem to be. They don’t look like the old tickets for sure. Anyway thanks for the reply :)

Thought I’d post here before attempting SWR’s phone line. Has anyone been able to claim delay repay since the move from card to the larger barcode paper tickets? If I put paper ticket as the option it won’t accept the 11 letter ticket “number” wants 5 or 8 as per the old tickets. If I try it...

Cor we had one of these threads a few years back - fascinating. Didn’t realise Phil Sayer had passed so long ago - tempus fugit. Who was the Boofay woman heard on the WR? back in the day?

Fareham too. Last place I heard a bell for approaching train was Fratton but it went a few years back.

My logs are long lost and whilst I can remember a few very brisk runs behind 50s out of Paddington and a memorable Sunday night bash back from Salisbury, the one run that sticks in my mind was behind a DMU. Class 101 on a replacement out of Carlisle on a fast run south non-stop to Preston circa...

A really good news story - well done etc.:lol:

Thanks for the replies. I used to pay between £6-11 each way on advances for that journey up to Jan 20 so the current prices were a bit of a shock. The travel would be midweek late lunchtime out and last train back. The only prices I saw for the Jan trip was £48 off peak return and maybe a...

Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question. This is a journey I used to do quite regularly but not since lockdown. Always used to have no problems picking up a cheap advance but checked for journeys next month and January and none available. Is this now a permanent thing on this route or as a...

Hinton Admiral was my local station in those days. I remember getting up early doors for a trip to Kings Lynn and getting there by about half ten or so!!! Another year was spent shuffling between Salisbury and points west nabbing 50’s - that was good. Relatively short journeys to “new” little...

The above dit about Crewe works reminds me of a RCTS depot visit early in 1986 where I was shouted at when I tried to take a photo of the Class 89 under construction. Of course I doubled back away from the guided tour a minute or so later and snapped away to my hearts content.:D I have...

I did a lot of spotting in the Eighties and was based near Watford and then moved down to Bournemouth but Chesterfield had a national reputation back then for unfriendliness. Only went there twice myself and had problems both times the second time the t**t actually tried to grab my camera case...

For a while circa 1988-89 if you had a Network Card you could upgrade to 1st class for just a quid more any day of the week! I worked for myself in those days (and a lot of my work was weekends) so I treated myself to many trips up from Hinton or New Milton to town in those very nice...

I used to live next to an embankment just outside a busy station. The train noise you get used to, since the demise of slam door stock its pretty regular and not too bad - late nite slams used to sometimes wake me up. Engineering works are a different kettle of fish. Major scheduled work you...
