I'll just pop down to my local stockbroker and ask to buy some shares in the railway company please!

I get one train and one tube to work and back. 4 legs of my journey.
I know, everyday, that betwene Southern Rail, Network Rail and TfL something will go wrong. No one cares, they have their money. |

if youd invested 500 quid in share in them you wouldve saved 250 quid ;-)

Just reading this thread makes me so glad that I'm off these trains, the 'service' is a joke. The tube is a million times better.

if you enjoy cramped spaces it may be.

Got the 17:26 out of London bridge last night, Southern Gestapo (revenue collectors) were on the train and chased a bloke out of first class who didn't have a first class ticket. Turns out the guy had had a hip replacement and needed to sit down and as the train was packed he sat in first class. He was getting off at Norwood junction so they arranged for the BTP to meet him there.
Normally I would say it serves people right if they sit in first class without the ticket but during these times of terrible service and over packed trains would it not be a good idea for Southern to permanently de-classify it's trains. Give first class passengers a refund and let all seats be used. Passengers are already pissed off with the service at the moment I believe southern should put these Gestapo types to good use elsewhere maybe on the platforms trying to help people and not antagonise them. |

These revenue protection officers are awful, they dress them up as much as possible to look like the law to increase the intimidation factor, normally I'd endorse catching fare dodgers but their tactics are so abhorrent I hope they get no-one.
At Bromley South sat night the doors opened and they stood there and wouldnt let people get on the train till tickets were shown, almost causing one bloke to miss his train. Last edited by Oddjob; 15-10-2014 at 01:55 PM. |

It's unbelievable. I'd love to know how many people on those trains actually pay for First Class.
Surely as they look to encourage people to use oyster/contactless payments there is less and less need to have classified sections. I've seen they're also offering 10% for off peak trips and some open return tickets. Yet the regular users who constantly have a battle to get to work get absolutely nothing.

I regularly mock the South Eastern plastic coppers. They have no sense of humour.

It's never cramped when I get on, I get a seat every single time.

Frankly when people can't get on trains because there isn't room to stand, having a first class section at all shows the disdain we are held in by Southern bosses. |

i have seen it all now. Someone actually standing up for the "gestapo" broken britain you have to wonder if it was a good use of police resources.

Happened to me a few months ago. I'd gone past the signal before the Home signal approaching London Bridge and the Signaller had set me the wrong road so I had to go in P8, detrain, change ends, back out into no mans land then back into P14 to attach. That train ended up leaving 25 mins late because of one persons f*** up.

******* ridiculous 99.9% of folks trudge along day after day in these dreadful conditions, its hardly likely the guy was making it up, especially if court action was to proceed and the guy had documentation from the hospital or GP, I had to endure 2 of these dreadful individuals some years ago , my crime? staying on the train for 1 solitary stop too far

What about all the B.S that Southern customers get fed every single day? I don't really trust them.
