Southern/Thameslink issues


TransportFocus

Recommended Posts

Hi, hope it's OK to post this here. We noticed a few comments on here about the trains so thought this might be of interest...


I work for the independent transport user watchdog. We have been doing loads to try and work with Southern/Thameslink and get the often dire train services back on track.


One of the things we have found useful in getting Gov't ministers and others to pay attention, is showing the human impact - beyond the statistics, basically. We've got a travel diary app to help us get this info (and we're currently doing a ?100 prize draw for anyone who completes 25 entries on it before October 19).


To download the app, e mail [email protected] and our research agency will send you a personal ID login and instructions on how to access the app. Anyone who logs 25 or more entries by October 19 will be entered into a prize draw for ?100 cash.


If you want to read more about what's been going on, what we are doing, and to follow the regular updates with stories from the app, it's all here: http://www.transportfocus.org.uk/h?/southern-rail-timetable/


Thanks in advance if you're able to help!

    • Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks. 
    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
