    No more cheap Advance tickets on 07:59 Eastbourne to London Victoria?

    If the demand is there and there is money to be made; i.e. charging full fare, then why not? Cheap advances are not an entitlement; if the company wants to withdraw them, then it shall. But annoying/upsetting I know Do you have the option to travel later, or can you buy a season?

    Railcard

    Given that you paid the correct fare in the end, does the rail company really have a leg to stand on?

    Prosecution latter

    To be clear, did you board the train at East Croydon and get off at Gatwick Airport? Specifically what ticket did you buy? If you did not have a ticket, how did you get through the barriers at East Croydon?

    Keeping old slides after scanning ?

    I don't have many slides but the ones I do have, I keep in the dark and away from extremes of temperature

    Keeping old slides after scanning ?

    Definitely do not dispose of them.... If you really don't want to keep them, sell them to someone who will look after them. Anything from the 1970s-80s Southern or Eastern Region related....? I can offer a good home ;)

    Potential up to 2,000 job losses at Alstom Derby

    Why not give Derby a contract to refurbish SouthEastern 376's.... these are well overdue - assuming of course SE are keeping them

    Motorway Driving - too many idiots

    Lorries are doing 50-60mph on average * I don't drive a BMW but I know what you mean ;)

    Motorway Driving - too many idiots

    There will be differing opinions on this but in my opinion, frequent lane-changing/weaving in and out between lane 1 and 2 (just to squeeze in between lorry gaps) is more dangerous than cruising in Lane 2 - especially when going uphill and on a motorway with several junctions fairly close to one...

    Motorway Driving - too many idiots

    Not at 6am in the morning on my local motorway! In terms of middle-lane hogging; sometimes this is unavoidable in the rush hour when you have lots of lorries in lane 1 and changing lanes frequently is just too dangerous.

    GTR Evidence Gatherer(?)

    On my travels today I saw one of these get on a Southern train. Now I've seen rail enforcement officers but this...?

    Witness Statement Thameslink Query!!

    You are probably unlikely to be prosecuted but were you given a copy of the witness statement? What did you tell the inspector?
