    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    I see there were quite a few cancellations on that line but unlike Bedwyn, one could at least get a train in both directions.

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    Only one train on the Noerh Downs Line to Gatwick Airport canxelled this morning and obviously the return. I assume this was due to staff starting their shift on this line, so the issues on the other line didn't impact. 1745323172 I see the 7:53 from Bedwyn to Paignton has the stop removed...

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    Thanks for confirming that. That really did deserve a dosruption notice then, but appreciate if their isn't enough staff, they might not have time. I did also wonder if the traincrew interworked off the mainline.

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    That is good. The 22:30 is also starting short from Redhill. There wasn't posted online until after the seevuce rhat makes it up departed Guildford 25 minutes late. It was either in-between there and Gomshall or after Gomshall. This one is delayed due to a fault with the signalling system. I...

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    In times of disruption like this, i wonder how many unanswered posts, formerly known as tweets, lead in the GWR_help system, which they use to manage their X, formerlly known as Twitter, account. No point in answer them tomorrow obviously, but I'm sure plenty of people forget or don't read the...

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    The Bedwyn is even worse. At least the 21:30 from Gatwick Airport looks fairly certain to be running now. They also contact offer any advice online as it is gone 19:00. It's like the old days when people had to speak to staff at stations or phone up. There is the information help points but I...

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    That's good. The BBC aren't covering it, but it is a bank holiday and I appreciate they would have less staff working on a bank Holiday. At least I assume they do.

    Passengers stranded after being let off train for fresh air

    Thanks, that makes sense. I just wish there was a way of passengers know this so they can decide which train to catch. It might be quiet a niche request to be fair.

    GWML - signal fault at Twyford (21 April)

    Is this being reported in the national press at all or is the fact its a bank Holiday have an impact? One thing I do know, it is affecting trains on the North Downs Line and GWR have no made no comment. They are correctly updating the journey planners with the cancellations at least. It isn't...

    Passengers stranded after being let off train for fresh air

    This happened to me recently. I had some headphones on but nothing playing through them. I got to the platform, having changed trains, and saw orange flashing door lights. I pressed them and the doors did not reopen. Train then departed. I then got the next train. 1745185360 I once missed my...

    Passengers stranded after being let off train for fresh air

    You can of course press the door open button to reopen them. Or at least that works before the guard has blown the whistle for the train to depart. I don't think the sound is any different between the two types of door closing sequences, though.

    Are there any figures for how many people miss trains due to last minute platform alterations?

    Sobthis evening I was on a service from Raeding to Gatwick Airport. It should arrive in at 17:59 but was held outside of Gatwick Airport due to a train to Horsham blocking platform 3. After a few minutes to put our train into platform 1. I got out of the trian and headed off to another...

    Why was my diverted Victoria to Brighton train (via Worthing) only 8 coaches instead of 12?

    I quite agree but I thought less trains were running due to the engineering works.

    Why was my diverted Victoria to Brighton train (via Worthing) only 8 coaches instead of 12?

    If correct, perhaps this is what they want you to do. Don't like the train take the strain, just stay at home.

    Why was my diverted Victoria to Brighton train (via Worthing) only 8 coaches instead of 12?

    I'm not sure anyone is expecting it not to be full and standing. It's more the fact it was 8 coaches instead of 12, as well as being full and standing. The key point is 8 coaches instead of 12.

    Are there any figures for how many people miss trains due to last minute platform alterations?

    I once had a situation where a train was was announced as running fast between Surbiton and London Waterloo by the guard or driver. The station CIS wasn't updated though. I assume someone forgot to do so or some other issue. I was the one who informed station staff of this, as passengers would...

    Are there any figures for how many people miss trains due to last minute platform alterations?

    However I find late at night, some stations don't broadcast any announcemts. So when a train pulls into a platform at Putney, where it is claimed via signage, no trains operate on a Sunday, you miss your train. This is an issue late at night when less trains run and once caused me to have to...

    DfT Permanent Secretary to step down

    When did they discover this regarding the DfT? It may have been long enough for them to now have forgotten this was the case. As for DOO, the TOCs are private companies and does this government want a repeat of the preivous strikes?

    What do TOCs do with personal information you enter for WiFi?

    They are technically check boxes and when I found could check them all, what else was i going to do but hit submit and connect. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Revenue Protection at Brighton

    I know that is the case but you have trains with declassified first class at the front that look the same as others with first class at the front and they can depart from the same station with first class branding. If one jumped on a train that was running late, they might incorrectly think...
