Can recall one 30 min delay where I couldn't be arsed to scan my ticket as it was about to expire. Other than that I haven't had to. Granted I could have put through plenty of fraudulent ones but personally I've either been very lucky or the service is getting more reliable.

Actually its not. I haven't made a claim for a long time.

RMT strike days the service tends to be better than normal. I noticed yesterday Southern rolled out a new look site but soon rolled back to the old one as there was no service data on it. Good to see their acceptance testing is as good as their train service. Their live running page is probably...

Southern excelled themselves this morning on the Uckfield line. We're down to one service an hour currently due to the overtime ban. This morning 7:44 was cancelled so they've basically run service over a two hour period during morning peak. Thankfully I have an understanding boss so I can WFH...

How does it work on the tube then? They are very sensitive!! Given the age of the rolling stock on a lot of the networks I'm struggling to see how the technology would have regressed on the railway. Also couldn't something like that be easily missed by a guard? I've never disputed that. Just...

Of course it is BUT you could use the same argument to say it's better to have a lolly pop lady at on every crossing on the road. I don't disagree with that at all. How much training does it take for someone to look down the platform see that its clear and then tell the driver they can shut...

Why can't a driver do that? Or you aren't interested in answering them.

:facepalm: When have you ever known a train to stop at a station for 2 seconds? How does the guard manage to do it? What does the guard do that they driver couldn't with regard to curved platforms? Surely its actually safer for someone to be looking at a monitor in this instance? Why shouldn't...

So compromise only works one way?? Thought as much.

Calm down dear. I appreciate you believe it isn't about pay. But my comment was about this vote. I wrongly assumed it was about the DOO dispute but was puzzled as to why the gap between accepting it and not was getting bigger not smaller when the offer is far far far better. I'm pointing out...

The DOO strike is about safety. This vote is about pay. They need to make their minds up. Do they want a pay rise or do they want to stay in bed with their RMT chums? Once again the only loser out of it all will be the train user.

You couldn't make it up! So they are getting offered an eye watering 20something percent pay increase but are turning it down over safety grounds but now they are preparing to strike because they aren't paid enough. They don't only want the cake to eat they want to throw it back up again and...

Is that the ASLEF result??

You are my hero and much better at trains than me! :love::love::love::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Fair point. Still don't think it would hurt to have the service listed as cancelled or at least in the delays/cancellation part of the southern site rather than just nothing. But that would have fallen down in my case surely as the service wasn't even listed on the NR site.

Via their website or the NR website. I get your point but you can't really compare the two IMO. Brighton don't play every day at the same time. If they did and all of sudden they stopped even though the fixture list suggested otherwise then I'm sure you would get folk turning up or at least...

Because I spend all week in London and the weekend is my time. I'd spent two nights in London which were both very boozy, then had a wedding reception on Friday evening and then a stag do on Saturday. Quite frankly I'd totally forgotten about the overtime ban until Monday morning and I noticed...

Not this year yet but I will start doing it. Last year they honoured them so I don't see why they won't this year.

That's bullshit.....not the response you got but the fact they don't keep records of cancellations. How on earth would they be able to approve or decline delay repay claims? I share your pain. I stayed in town Wednesday and Thursday nights last week so consequently missed the morning commute on...

Sounds that way. It disagreed with his point of view and as he can NEVER be wrong and no one is allowed to have a differing opinion to his he's dismissed it. Back in the real real world the overtime ban kicks in from the close of play tonight doesn't I believe.
