Ahem, Gave Live at the Apollo a mention in post #58 Great album.

As Ernest said, if you are on a through ticket from a SASTA station then Virgin will sort you out for a later train. If you are on seperate tickets into and out of London then not, even if you have booked them at the same time with the same company. However, even if you are on the a through...

Last three trains from Barnham back to Chichester were all cancelled tonight. According to an off duty guard at the pub I was at at, hundreds of people at Barnham demanding taxis. Lucky I and my friends had bikes to get us home down the country lanes. Utter C* words doesn't even begin to cover...

That Telegraph article is from 2001 and is about Connex South Central, which was also run by one Charles Horton. Proves that nothing has changed, or rather it got a bit better until the return of Horton with GTR whereupon things have gone back to how they were in Connex times. I expect Ernest...

That 07:52 from Worthing is the 07:30 Brighton to Southampton, which is on SATSA's lovely pre-cancelled list http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/conductor-sickness/ It will be cancelled every day for the foreseeable, so just imagine it never existed in the timetable.

Remember that there is another layer too, as some rail services are operated on contract to TfL in the same way that Underground lines are. That's London Overground and for stopping services out of Liverpool Street which are going to be taken over by Crossrail ("Elizabeth Line"), TfL Rail. Some...

I'm another one for whom Goldstone1976 mop method worked a treat when all else had failed. For this job, no need to get decent mop, a Poundland mop is more than up to the job and the best £1 spent.

I see the first question's been answered. The second one about the panel on the side of the platform with the slider sounds like a datum plate. These are used as a reference to monitor the exact position of the rails to ensure they don't move out of gauge due to settlement of ballast or any...

On Friday evening SASTA cancelled the last two trains eastbound from Havant, without apparently providing any alternatives for passengers. I was returning to Chichester from London by way of the SWT service through Guildford, as were several others. The trains cancelled were 23:15 Portsmouth to...

The Tower is a great community pub; it's currently SE Sussex pub of the year. From what I saw on my visit, it was a friendly crowd and the landlady also had the manner of taking no nonsense. It's not very large, so get there early.

Many of the people who composed this crowd, did align with the visual stereotype of Shoreditch/Hackney dwelling fashion conscious, Guardian readers though, so just a bit of gentle satire on the concerned delayed London dwelling people based on their dress sense etc. I say this as a middle aged...

And that's exactly what happened. I was passing through Brighton station at 8pm yesterday on my way from Lewes to Chichester and on arrival greeted by this exact scene, apparently caused by a Victoria train being late and staff / BTP not allowing anyone through the barriers onto the platforms...

You can get Southern Groupsaves for any number of people from 3 upwards, including for Travelcards. You don't get a bigger discount for having four people, like when groupsave was first introduced, it's a third off whatever the size of the party.

Norman Whiteside, probably because I was so young when it happened and it was in the Cup final, which was the biggest thing ever at the time, his thuggery made a massive impression on me, I always resolved never to be like that and not to give the time of day to people who showed or supported...

I'll just leave this one here: http://newsthump.com/2016/03/31/donald-trump-pledges-to-spank-women-who-get-an-abortion/

Briefly, dopiaza = onion based with onions cooked in two different ways, tikka masala = meat cooked in a tandoor with creamy red sauce containing tomato and coconut, dansak = lentil based sauce with some sweet and sour going on due to inclusion of sugar and lemon juice along with chilli powder...

I have emailed the following to comments@southernrailway.com "Hi Your journey planner / ticket website is showing no trains at all along the coastway – east and west - on Monday 2nd May. Nothing about engineering works or replacement buses either. It’s well within the normal booking window, so...

Because the Government isn't trying to squeeze the private sector out of existence? Or also because workers in many parts of the private sector have lost many of their employment rights and can be sacked for farting at the wrong time? On the other hand, rail strikes are largely private sector...
