Theres currently rpi on the marlow branch train One old lady did not have a ticket so the rpi sold her one on the spot, no questions asked. A young girl (about 15) did not have a ticket, the same rpi asked why didn't she have a ticket and took her details. I overheard the conversations with both...

Have a friend visiting from Canada in August. She'll be travelling london to Scotland (not sure where yet). Is there a ticket she can buy abroad that works out cheaper than buying direct from usual uk retailers / UK split ticket options / advance

(This does not affect me, I'm just interested). This evening there are short notice cancellations on the marlow branch with no services after 9pm due to action short of a strike. Gwr state that no road transport alternative has been provided. Should the railway provide taxis? What happens if...

In peak times there is a shuttle service from maidenhead to bourne end every 30 minutes, bourne end being the terminus. Gwr have an overtime ban today Today the 0612 arrived into bourne end (which forms the 0616 departure) but the 0616 was cancelled due to "industrial action". The following...

The 1536 from maidenhead to marlow departed maidenhead at 1533 today. It is scheduled to wait for the 1532 arrival from Paddington which arrived at 1534 so quite a few people have an hour waiting for the next service to marlow

First time today hearing an announcement at London Paddington. "This is an announcement for passengers to please listen to announcements and view departure screens. Please do not use any 3rd party apps" (or something to that affect)

Its been common in chain restaurants for a while for a discretionary service charge (usually 12.5%) being added to a bill automatically, with you having to ask for it to be removed. I've just read an article that this is now spreading to pubs even when people order at the bar. Its never happened...

I'm crawling along on a "fast" service on the mains approaching Southall and looked on RTT to see possible reason for the slow service and it appears a stopping EL service to reading is on the main line delaying all the fast gwr trains. Anyone know why this one train (9R48) is on the mains

I often read the "disputes and prosecutions" thread and lots of people caught without a / incorrect ticket etc. Claim they have anxiety. Is anxiety as a medical condition really widespread? I've never really come across it before (I dont want this thread to turn into a "they should grow some...

Due to GWR cancellations I had to take the EL from Paddington to maidenhead Try to enter the lowerlevel platforms at 1852 to catch the 1900 train to maidenhead with my non folding bike Gateline staff tell me to fold my bike I say I cant They tell me I can't go through the gateline with my...

Just going through my delay repay account (whilst waiting for my connecting train following a delay) and I see that tonight is my 73rd delay repay request (and assume acceptance) this calendar year. Has anyone else ever came close to this number? I assume about 15 of them will be for strike days

This links into the thread about the poor performance of the EL. So far this week we've had a cracked rail at iver and a cracked rail at maidenhead. Since September we've had points failures, signal failures and ohle issues. I have nothing to compare it with, but travelling on it daily and...

Just going through Slough Station and it got me thinking, why are is there only 1 gwr non stop service from Slough to Paddington in the morning peak and none in the evening peak. Off peak there is a non stop GWR train that takes 16 minutes every 30 minutes whereas peak the only option is the...

For example i plan to get the 6am train but see on app that its cancelled so go grab a coffee somewhere to wait for the next ontime train. Whilst I'm away, the cancelled train is reinstated which I'm unaware of until I go to claim delay repay and its rejected because "train ran as scheduled"...

I noticed yesterday that the large penalty fare sign attached to the side of the ticket machine at nsrlow Station has been removed. It was too large to have been removed due to vandalism. Therefore are penalty fares no longer an option on the marlow branch?

Today I planned to take the 0606 train from marlow to bourne end, changing at bourne end for maidenhead. The gwr app showed all trains from marlow and bourne end as delayed (no expected departure time, just delayed) so I cycled to maidenhead. Upon my arrival at maidenhead Station the supposedly...

I say this as the Gateline to platforms 10 and 11 at Paddington is often closed (red crosses on all gates) and no staff present. This is the platform where the bike racks are so have to push through the gates to get my bike. Should they be staffed if not open?

The 2300 from Oxford to Paddington will no longer be calling at intermediate stations twyford, maidenhead and Slough due to lack of train crew. It will however still run its full route from Oxford to Paddington. How does a lack of train crew cause the train missing stops. Aren't the trains doo...
