An unusual announcment on th 10:33 Ashford International to Brighton yesterday. Already impressed with the conductor who when checking my ticket used a proper clip leaving a neat circular hloe in the ticket, and made perfect announcments.
However on leaving St Leonards Warrior Square he apologised that in a few minutes we would be slowing to walking pace for a 5mph temporary speed restriction (TSR) for drainage works and that it wouldn't last very long. (It didn't).
I've never heard an announcement about a TSR before !
I forgot to look at the name badge but the manual announcements matched the automated ones perfectly. Excellent trip.
The journey back and views about Brighton staion I will post later.
