    The last line doesn't rhyme. I can think of an appropriate word that would make it rhyme though :whistle: :lolol:

    I'd put a tenner on Albion being in the Champions League final before this ends.

    Is it right that the compensation on an annual season ticket is 1/12 of the cost of it? Bloody hope so because my annual travel card was £5244 so I'm in for £437

    Don't get me wrong, I'm the last one to defend Southern, but the report seems to be deliberately misleading. The headline "Restored full Southern timetable a ‘farce’ on first day" insinuates the report is all about Southern, but the figures quoted relate to Govia as a whole, so those...

    Believe it when I see it. Presumably this is also on the condition that the current talks don't fail?

    He said, (and it is also stated in the Southern statement made some months back) that "every train that currently has a guard, will have an OBS" Of course, that was difficult to hear because loud mouth Cash kept interrupting every single time Horton tried to speak.

    This really pisses me off. The 0630 is my usual train to Victoria, but during the strikes I'll be bolloxed if I can be bothered to get up at 4.30, get ready for work and haul my arse up to the station on the slight off chance there might be a train.

    Yeah, I know that route thanks, but a pain in the butt and takes much longer than my usual Victoria to Tottenham Hale tube.

    Oh FFS! I was anticipating going to the office on Monday for the first time since Dec 20th only to find out just now there is a bloody tube strike on Monday with no Victoria line service anticipated at all! Not a lot of bloody help when I work in Tottenham :rant:

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Great thank you, loved it. Being first-timers in Berlin we stuck pretty much to the standard touristy bits, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, East Side Gallery and so on and so forth. The Gendarmenmarkt was a bit too overcrowded for me personally, but Mrs P loved it. I preferred the...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    No. I mean the safety trained OBS as per Southerns statement way back back in August "Guarantees traditional conductors will retain their current competencies and second members of on-board will be trained to safety-competent standards including track safety training, evacuation, traction and...

    Yes it would. Berlin Friedrichstraße station about 3 weeks ago going back to the airport Only late though granted, not cancelled. I was so stunned a German train was running late I had to get photographic evidence :lolol:

    And there was me thinking that the OBS could do that. Silly me.

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Really? Where did that originate from? My usual is the 06.30 GE from Brighton and when I got up this morning and checked the live trains thingy online, the only direct trains to Victoria from Brighton showing were the 6:46 followed by the 8:46 !

    Question for anyone that tried to get to Victoria today. I assume the GE services are running pretty much as normal from Gatwick to Victoria and back so is the best option trying to get to Gatwick and back from Brighton using Thameslink and then use GE from Gatwick?
