    Guildford to Vauxhall direct

    Looking at the 07:42 Guildford to Vauxhall on a weekday. As it starts in Guildford, I guess it's very easy to get a seat? How reliable is that service? Returning on the 17:37, would I get a seat at Vauxhall, or would I need to go up to Waterloo?

    Alternative transport to Brighton Pride?

    Unfortunately GTR has announced there will be no trains to Brighton. I have a commitment at the festival so looking for alternatives. Unfortunately there's no National Express coaches that day. So I could get the train to Three Bridges and local buses from there maybe?

    Oxford tube

    With the mainline closed the Oxford Tube must be making a killing. Is it even possible to get on-board during rush hour? I need to go to Oxford for a meeting.

    1st time testing the Elizabeth Line

    I decided to try the Purple train from Paddington to Reading. I was impressed with the size of the stations and train, but IMO the seats aren’t fit for “long distance” commuting. My bum was so uncomfortable I got of at West Drayton and took a GWR to Reading instead. These seats are fine for...

    Gatwick Express 1st class free drink?

    According to Geoff "all the stations" Marshall, passengers with 1st class tickets get a free drink at Victoria station? I guess you have to show your ticket at the gateline?
