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!

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
